Ireland, Slovenia, Spain, the Netherlands and Iceland have already signalled they are unwilling to participate if the EBU permits Israel to compete, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to intensify.
Well that sucks but not unexpected :( Thank you the nations who have not taken the knee
Israel shouldn’t be excluded because they’re not European. They should be excluded because they’re doing a genocide. The same way they already excluded Russia for their war on Ukraine. There’s no reason that should have any bearing on Australia one way or the other.
As for not rocking the boat, that’s an incredibly weak excuse. I’d rather Australia be kicked out of Eurovision permanently than give one ounce of support to genocide.
