From Balázs in Hungry: "Now this is really the non plus ultra!
"Israel is protesting Hungary's Eurovision entry, which includes criticism against Operation Protective Edge and mentions the number of Palestinian children killed during the 2014 Israeli military campaign.”
“One of the captions in the song's video refers to Operation Protective Edge, stating: '2014 – Gaza – two-thirds of the victims were civilians, including more than 500 children.’ "
“A senior official in the Hungarian broadcasting authority stressed in a conversation with Mor [ambassador to Hungary] that the Eurovision rules ban political messages during the competition, and promised that the sentence about Operation Protective Edge would be erased.”
Now if this “senior (most idiotic) official” is right, this will be shame on us Hungarians."
