Martin needs to go, the competition has gone downhill with scandal after scandal every year since he took over, he’s going to get booed to high heaven tonight and for very good reason, he’ll obviously has it suppressed though like they’ve been piping in fake applause during all the rehearsals and semis for Israel

Perhaps your fellow countryman should stop abusing women and you may still be in it?

i always knew something was off about him honestly


i just liked our song, not his personality



i preferred Flemming, much sweeter, more charming personality (one of our 4, 5 May ambassadors of freedom btw) who has also very modern boppy music in dutch


and no israel isn't too blame for this, so yeah i am a drama queen, not Eden, you hear me now Livia, i said it

It's about that old pedo on the Isreali Delegation picking fights with young people then crying when they retaliate

[Nicky91]

no this topic is about arrogant Joost


his whole attitude stinks tbh, he even didn't want to watch the first semi final because mr needed to be focused for his own performance those were already omens of potentially something about to go wrong


also having Gover/Stefano Keizers in his delegation as creative director doesn't exactly help either, a comedian who is known to always create drama and another one who is very arrogant

No, this thread is about the Dutch Pulling out.

you continue to be as ridiculous as ever


most of these people including yourself couldn't give a stuff about Palestine, its all about jumping on a bandwagon and hating on Jews, that singer has bog all to do with the Israeli government and their actions

[Cherie]

The singer made a threatening gesture to a camera woman as he didn't want to be filmed after coming off stage, sounds a bit up himself tbh

[Ammi]

Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS issued its own statement, which reads: "We have taken note of the disqualification by the EBU. AVROTROS finds the disqualification disproportionate and is shocked by the decision. We deeply regret this.

"An incident occurred after last Thursday's performance. Against clearly made agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed.

"This wasn’t respected. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police.

"Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed several solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has still decided to disqualify Joost Klein. AVROTROS finds the penalty very heavy and disproportionate.

"We stand for good manners -let there be no misunderstanding about that- but in our view, an exclusion order is not proportional to this incident.

"We are very disappointed and upset for the millions of fans who were so excited for tonight. What Joost brought to the Netherlands and Europe shouldn’t have ended this way."

[Ammi]

…it all worked out well for him, he won’t be filmed later off stage…

[Crimson Dynamo]

That is great Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS but with respect no one really cares what you "think" should have happened

Just as the EBU has no say or impact on the business decisions that you make for your organization

[bots]

Eurovision should just be a bit of harmless fun, but it never is

[Crimson Dynamo]

Swedish police give update on Netherlands Eurovision singer Joost Klein after he was questioned for ‘inappropriate behavior’ towards a female crew member.

“A man is suspected of unlawful threats. The crime is said to have been committed at Malmo Arena on Thursday evening.

The man is questioned by the police but not detained. The plaintiff is an employee at Eurovision.

The police have taken all essential investigative measures and questioned the suspect, plaintiff and witnesses. The investigation has been completed by the police.”

The singer has since been disqualified for his behavior and the Netherlands will no longer be a part of the Eurovision Final tonight.

I mean who goes to an event watched by billions and gets prissy about being filmed especially after coming off stage when I expect you are in full make up etc...bizarre

[Cherie]

He was running to the Green Room, maybe he had just wet himself or worse

They stole land that was not theirs and committed genocide and attempted to cleanse the are of Palestinians for decades, Isreal is not nor has it ever been a country

“l’m Joost Klein. love Russia, I want a Russian woman, I want Russian babies.”

A few weeks later, after the Bucha Massacre, he travelled to St Petersburg to
perform in front of a Russian crowd.

So he is just a twat basically?

I can genuinely say that I didn't really like his entry much to begin with.

That's not the Israeli singer's fault though.

The way that she has been treated has been disgraceful, the people that have treated her like dirt should honestly be ashamed of themselves.

I have no issue with people being anti-Israel in terms of not liking Netanyahu/the Government, but a singer competing on the Eurovision Song Contest should be treated with basic Human decency.

The fact that I am having to say such a basic thing is shameful.

I don't know if I would say that Israel is worse than Russia.

I mean Ukraine had done nothing to Russia, and were attacked.

Israel's Government is bad (I do agree with you on that,) but Russia are tyrants towards multiple of their neighbouring countries.
