Unreal, why is it always the UK that has to make a stand, this is an entertainment show, yes it is being held in Israel because guess what they participated in the show last year, and their entry won, go and urge the producers Eurovision to ban this one and that one from entering if you really are that bothered, why just the BBC ...just sod orf!

I'd imagine because it's British people doing the urging so are urging their own country?

Its about 3 people from what I can see, so they can switch over in protest? and why not go to the show producers, this will be aired to millions so the Beeb not showing it is not going to make any difference whatsoever apart from making them feel good about themselves

We demand the right to finish in the bottom 5, a position that has been hard earned and is rightfully ours

Wow I wonder how many "protesters" Hamas will pay to get injured over this. For all the moaning, Palestinians living in Israel have it better than Palestinians living in Palestine.

Yeah cause all the palastinians are glued to the telly for this..they can't wait to watch all the gayness..it's what they live for....


Hamas leaders probably think Britain's made a pop song for their exit from Europe and Gabriel no happy cause geldof got the gig again.

On this occasion all I can say is; KEEP POLITICS OUT OF EUROVISION.

Yes OK I know the voting is often political but other than that, surely the whole point of Eurovision is that everyone forgets about the political issues and a gets together for a big ridiculous party. I mean we've had countries literally at war with each other in Eurovision... and also the "winner hosts" thing has been upheld in all sorts of ****ing dodgy locations... so this is all a bit daft really. If Israel won, Israel hosts, and political discussion is for another day .

amen

it is being held in Tel Aviv, and not in Jerusalem which was the reason for the boycott tbh, too close to the warzone

now it isn't too close to that, and there are loads of lovely Israëli's who are big esc fans


keep politics out of eurovision, this contest is for our fun, entertainment


yes people are suffering, but eurovision there can be also bit of fun for those innocent israeli people who need a bit of distraction from all that violence and war


Jerusalem was a no no for me as well, too close to a warzone is not safe, but Tel Aviv is a good location, also good for tourism in tel aviv, to host a eurovision contest there
