I know the only reason why Russia was banned was because other contestants refused to participate if they weren't removed. I know this. Which makes the fact that Israel continues to be part of Eurovision even more upsetting.
We've been calling for the removal of Israel for years. Nothing has ever been done but after this year you would think there would be some sense to at least pretend they care.
In case you didn't know that's Icelandic group Hatari showing support for Palestine all the way back in 2019 when Israel was the host country for Eurovision. They were fined for infringing the ban on "political gestures". The Israel conversation isn't new but it has never been more obvious than now.
