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

    Instead of asking for Israel to be banned, we should be demanding that that be Palestine included (even if outside the EBU, special circumstances)

    I’d almost be willing to wager that if Palestine was added (and possibly even put alongside Israel) that Netanyahu will probably pull Israel out himself.

      Yeah this is a great idea. The Palestine contestant can sing about what a cunt Israel is being.
