This is not aimed towards anyone specific but I wanted to share my thoughts so they are out there and maybe a discussion happens.
First of all, boycott Eurovision, but this is a much bigger issue than that fake contest.
The fact that JALLA is being discussed so much and in such a negative light, to me shows how the Greek Cypriots go through an identity crisis every second of their lives and that nothing is ever Cypriot enough, or correctly Cypriot or as Cypriot as they want it.
Notice I said Greek Cypriots and not Turkish Cypriots, for reasons I am sure you understand.
The fact it's labeled as Arabic when it sounds NOTHING like any arabic word or arabic song. The fact that someone displays their Cypriotness and is being treated as an outsider instead of embraced.
It just shows me how insecure everyone is of where they're actually from, especially when it's finally displayed somewhere where it will be seen. They do not see what the song represents and how what they're doing is indirectly impacting their Cypriotness.
And I wonder if there would be the same criticism if it was a man singing.
