The PP scriptwriters have decided that if Feijóo isn't funny, they'll write bad jokes for him. And so, from the "Pope's conclave to the PP conclave," they've gone on to say that Sánchez's concern "is not who sings at Eurovision but who sings in the PSOE."
The situation isn't much better on the other side. Sánchez is using Eurovision as a name to get more talk about the televoting than the WhatsApp Already published or those yet to come, courtesy of the fan distributor, a well-known specialty in Spanish politics with ramifications in the courts and media. Sánchez has long recognized that criticism of Israel gives him international leadership status and is a banner he cannot cede to the parties he governs with, unless he wants to be overrun by the left.
But the most serious thing is not who is singing in the PSOE, nor whether Israel should be cancelled from Eurovision as Russia was from the World Cup, but the crimes against humanity that continue to put an end to the lives of thousands of civilians in Gaza, in broad daylight, with extraordinary cruelty, despite the more or less comfortable or cowardly silence of countries that ease up a bit.
Netanyahu justified the entry of food trucks into Gaza because it was requested by "allies" who couldn't bear "the images of mass hunger," with skeletal creatures on screen. And this is much worse than a bad joke; it is a portrait of the pain threshold of governments that don't want public opinion to turn against them. And where Netanyahu derives his political and human indignity.
