Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain have boycotted the Eurovision Song Contest over Israel's participation and ongoing genocide. These nations and others asked for a vote on Israel's participation which was never given.
These nations then had to choose whether to participate with Israel using the stage to wash their genocide or stay home. That's 74,173,420 actual Europeans who can't watch their country perform in the Eurovision contest, just so Israel is not offended and continues with what nearly every major human rights organization calls a genocide with sniping of kids and the flattening of whole residential districts. 75 million Europeans to protect 9 millions non-Europeans in the Middle East of which a significant portion served in the IDF.
Now IDF soldiers who have been party to genocide at worst and a brutal massacre at best can watch their country participate in an event in a foreign continent. While someone from Spain or The Netherlands can't watch their own country in a European event on their actual continent.
Why exactly is an Israeli worth more than a European in a European contest?
Why was Russia gone immediately, but no vote on Israel is allowed. Wasn't democracy one of our core values?
Is an Israeli worth 8.22 Europeans?
Even the largest and most prominent human rights organization in Israel calls it; "Our Genocide"
