as Russia and Belarus were also rightfully kicked out


then Israel should also be kicked out

[joeysteele]

Yes they should be allowed in the contest.
Their performers will have worked hard on a song and music.

The military action going on is nothing to do with the performers for Israel.

It's also a world away from the Russia and Ukraine war.
Russia invaded an independent Nation having had NO aggression or attack from Ukraine.
Israel has had to live for decades with hostile Nations around them, who don't just want Israel defeated but want them annihilated.
It is horrific what's going on re Israel and the Palestinians.
However until Hamas and other terrorist groups are eradicated.
The security of Israel as a Nation and it's people are always in danger of being attacked.

Despite my intense dislike of the hard-line government of Natanyahu in Israel.
I still haven't changed my position for the State of Israel and the rights of Israel and it's citizens to be able to have a safe and secure existence.

Eurovision is really a more fun evening, ignore the voting process, just enjoy the music or moan about it, laugh at or admire the performances.
Just see it as a light hearted evening and event.

Absolutely no way should Israel not be taking part, that's the kind of thing divisive groups and terrorist organisations would welcome if they were.

their performers are just literal puppets for that corrupt stench of a broadcaster KAN



Israel should no longer take part, they also invaded territory that isn't theirs but belonging to Palestine, so yes they are similar to Russia, but they can hide behind the ''you can't kick us out otherwise it is antisemitism'' victim card

I respectfully disagree Nicky.

It really isn't though anything like the Russia and Ukraine conflict.

When did Ukrainians go into Russia, then kidnap to hold hostage, and then also murder innocent people just at a social event?

not again about October 7th, how tiresome that is becoming by now


also you know what Ukraine did to justify Russia's actions, like denial of russian culture, russian language appreciation in the Donetsk, Lugansk regions


maybe we can ship Israel off to Putin's Intervision Trash, Trump's USA is also happily competing in that, you can make the three amigo bromance there, Netanyahu/Putin/Trump

Leftist elites hate Israel. The people beg to differ!

I don’t think that’s true. Yeah ok the war really did make things worse but there song last year was pretty good. But it wasn’t winning worthy, though neither was the winner tbh

I just don’t listen to Nicky now. Tbh none of his opinions matter because they always change the next day

[Barry.]

I’m on the fence as in because the war going on. Like if Israel won next year it would be in Israel (well we don’t really know but what ifs apply here). Eurovision is a big gay party for the gays so it would be dangerous to host it there because it wouldn’t be safe.

If it was hosted somewhere then maybe that would change my mind

I wouldn’t call him a freakshow as he seems like a lovely person but I didn’t really mind his song but a winner I was surprised

My answer is a dual one. They shouldn't been allowed in the first place because they're not even in Europe. But maybe they're included because they're a Western-style nation on a close enough patch of Earth? Otherwise, we, Mexico and Canada demand we can participate.

I answered "Yes" because they're already allowed to participate. The festival is already heavily politicized and so nations protesting one another is a foregone conclusion. Let them opt out or whatever.

I thought Israel was half in Europe and half Middle East? I’m probably wrong though

Australia are in the competion

The problem for me isn’t the acts themselves as such, but more the fact the extreme campaigning going on, them having songs rejected for being too political, the harassment of other artists and countries by the Israeli Eurovision delegation, they’re absolutely making it political, I assume to try and distract from the devastation they’re causing in Gaza.

You're more right than me, probably. I'm just a dumb American.

This plus the very obvious political voting in the past two contests (not that "political voting in Eurovision" is a new phenomenon, obviously, but still). Nothing seems to have been done to investigate vote tampering and nobody can tell me they even recall 2025's entry or how it goes, let alone why it won the televote by a landslide outside of daft politics.

But yeah the state is committing genocide and it's laughable they weren't dismissed 2 years ago.

They are invited to be part of it because it’s popular in Australia (even though it’s on at like 4am for them)

We're kind of accustomed to that, though. Not the first time I've woken up to see something live in the UK. Daughter was still sleeping in same room when the Queen passed, so when she woke up we laid together on a pillow and watched the live procession...

''if Israel won next year''


we all know Israel is gonna win, considering if the EBU still lets them stay, we know how high those EBU bigots are up Israel's arse


and pretty sure the act is gonna be called SOULDIERS next, of actual former IDF soldiers, more so called sympathy votes stench


but i hope they only have austria, israel, germany taking part, its what the stupid brainless EBU deserves for a nice karma
