Whoever has pulled out of the Eurovision because Isreal are competing….. pathetic!

Spain, Ireland … to name a few.

Answer me this- if you have a nurse/doctor from Isreal or Israeli decent….. will you not be seen by them?

Eurovision is attended not by individuals but by representatives of each country/state. Refusing to take part on principle is quite different from avoiding individuals from that country, which would be wrong.

Neither is Australia. It's more complicated than "being in Europe".

Australia shouldn’t be in it either!

They are members of the European Broadcasting Union, same as Australia. Being in Europe has nothing to do with it.

I stand corrected!

I'm still constantly baffled by it still being called Eurovison when non European countries have appeared.
And yes I'm pissed off about Israel and Russia being part of it for other reasons too

I wasn't aware but I think there's a huge difference between not wanting to participate in something that promotes a country and not being treated by an individual from that country.

Exactly. I wouldn't be asking where my medical practitioner was from. I'd like to see Israel removed from the contest.

If Russia aren’t allowed to participate in the Eurovision why should Israel be?

I don’t. I have friends who won’t talk to a fellow colleague because she’s from Isreal. Absolutely pathetic!
