Question Eurovision Party London, biggest viewing party cancelled coz ISRAEL

Screening party at the Rio Cinema in London cancelled, despite around 400 celebrities and industry executives supporting Israel’s inclusion



Eurovision Party London, one of the city’s biggest and most popular viewing parties, has been cancelled by the event organisers.

According to Variety, an announcement from Eurovision Party London said: “It is with a heavy heart that we have collectively decided not to screen the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest this year.

“We firmly believe that the Eurovision Song Contest has the power to bring people together across the world, and when its core values of inclusivity, equality and universality are upheld, it can be a genuine force for good.”

The participation of Israel in the contest was given as the reason for calling off the event.

UK entrant Olly Alexander signed an open letter accusing Israel of genocide and describing it as an "apartheid state".

The European Broadcasting Union EBU, which organises the contest, said in response that Eurovision is a “non-political” event, and is “not a contest between governments”.
