Slovenia Demands Israel's Removal From Eurovision 2025

They relate to individuals who occupy the highest office in the country. We are not talking about any Tom, Dick and Harry here but the head of a government, democratically elected btw, who is ultimately responsible (on behalf of Israelis) for the actions he has taken.
Of course, guilt has to be proven but it isn't a great to find your name on a list which has Putin, a Hamas leader and many others on it.
People are innocent until proven guilty in any normal jurisdiction.
Well tell that to the thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails.

in this case a three judge panel found there were reasonable grounds to believe that various crimes had been committed and therefore arrest warrants were issued. So interesting that you spent so much time arguing above that a letter from LFI is akin to black letter law yet you seem to want to suggest that there is nothing here at all despite three international judges examining all the evidence and deciding that on balance there’s something there.

That's surely a belief not a fact? Representing a country for a sporting competition isn't the same as representing the government of that country. Otherwise Labour sportspeople couldn't compete under a Conservative government, and vice versa.

Oh dear, this is a bit desperate. 'Ain't got nothing' is a perfectly normal colloquial expression that everyone understands.

Nonsense. The arrest warrants relate to individuals. Other citizens of that country are not responsible. And a warrant is just a warrant for arrest. People are innocent until proven guilty in any normal jurisdiction.

Eh?

The utter irony of this statement!

They were not splitting hairs or try to undermine you. If you feel that way, maybe that is on you. They were actually explaining why the term UK laws does not exist.
I have learnt something I didn't know, Thanks @wanderingstar23

Its hard to take anyone seriously who splits hairs in order to deliberately undermine someone when they know full well what they meant. And we still have a UK Parliament!

When you participate in international competitions, you represent that country. and its government. Fact.
If that country breaks international laws and the head of the government has an arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity, you represent this too.

Better by discriminating against people because of their nationality. Ew.

No, I don't think that's what they poster said at all. They seem to think all Israeli citizens should be discriminated against because they as a whole voted for the current government.

Well thankfully the law disagrees with you.

Although the irony of you talking about fairness while wanting people to be discriminated against based on their nationality is not lost on me.

As I said, I have some good book recommendations if you’d like to start the year on a positive note.

At Potters Bar?... wow lawn bowls has changed since the last time I watched it on the tv.

If splitting hairs and punctuation are what you got in this discussion you ain't got nothing.

Nobody regards law as gospel. Law is open to interpretation and it changes. I do rate the legal expertise of UKLFI over randoms on MN though.

No - I’m not splitting hairs. You and another poster came on here to suggest that the word of LFI on “uk law” is gospel. I’m suggesting you don’t have the requisite understanding of law to be making that claim and providing useful background as a counter to your position.

I wonder what's missing in your life that you feel the need to do that? After all it's somewhat academic.

“overt act of discrimination against Israeli participants, who are excluded solely on the basis of their nationality”.
