Quick Glance: Controversy Surrounding Olly Alexander and Israel
  • Olly Alexander, the new Eurovision representative for the United Kingdom, is under fire for endorsing a statement that accuses Israel of genocide and labels it an 'apartheid state'.

  • Chosen by the BBC, Alexander was unveiled as the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo next May.

  • He lent support to an open letter from LGBTQ+ activist group Voices4London, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and urging Israel to allow aid into the region.

  • Multiple human rights groups have consistently described Israel as an apartheid state, with Amnesty International emphasizing: 'The discrimination, the dispossession, the repression of dissent, the killings and injuries - all are part of a system which is designed to privilege Jewish Israelis at the expense of Palestinians.'
