The entertainment industry non-profit Creative Community For Peace (CCFP) has released a statement in support of the ESC 2019 in Tel Aviv.
The statement, signed by over 100 entertainment executives and personalities — among them: “The Talk” host Sharon Osborne, KISS’ Gene Simmons, music attorney Donald S. Passman, Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande managers Scooter Braun and Allison Kaye, Propagate Content chief Ben Silverman and WME co-founder and head of television Rick Rosen — comes in response to efforts by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which includes vocal supporters like Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame.
“This year, approximately 200 million people will watch, visit and take part in the Eurovision Song Contest, celebrating music and the diversity of our different cultures,” said Ari Ingel, Director of CCFP. “The members of the entertainment industry who have signed this statement, along with the thousands of individuals who have endorsed its message, all believe in building bridges (! as an Austrian, I smile) through music and the arts as a means to achieving greater understanding and peace in the region.”

(You should relax, honestly, I have nothing against swedish entries but I'm quite tired to read "everybody hates us" when absolutely nobody told absolutely nothing about Sweden in the current discussion :? ).
