Is anyone else boycotting Eurovision?

[magpiemagical]

Usually love watching Eurovision but will not watch it this year due to Israel being allowed to compete. I don’t understand how Israel are allowed to compete but not Russia (not that I’d agree with them competing either) so sadly, we won’t be watching it. Is anyone else boycotting it?

Don’t watch it, but unsure why you’d want to boycott it for Israel? 🤯

Why?

I have boycotted it since about 1964, because its crap.

Israel should be boycotted, they are starving 2 million people. Wake up westerners.

If you count not watched it for 40 years then yes…!

Ermmm would you be willing to feed Scotland if they invaded England, massacred hundreds and then took hundreds more hostage, degrading them in every way possible? This is what you are asking of Israel.
During the ceasefire tonnes and tonnes of aid got through. You should ask where it is nowand why Hamas seem to have plenty of food (hint, try the tunnels). Also worth looking at Gazan restaurants on socials. They seem to have an abundance of food every day, albeit at highly inflated prices.
And where is the pressure on Egypt to open their border for humanitarian aid into Gaza? I forgot. No Jews no news.

That was to @headstone

Don’t be silly. Not watching a tv programme must be the MOST ineffective “protest” ever. Who will know?? Israel have been in Eurovision for many decades despite the politics. Enjoy whatever’s on ITV and give yourself a righteous pat on the back

I wonder whether the Israeli govt will be quaking in their boots when they hear you won't be switching on the telly

What if you're an easterner?

Every boycott of Israel however insignificant it seems sends a message, stop the genocide , let aid and food in.

Brotherhood of Man should compete again, we might win.

What has humanity become, we are so racist we don’t care about millions of people being starved??

OK, thanks.

Sadly, not possible - as their lead singer died. (Martin Lee) Last year.

No! What a pity! I think Bucks Fizz are still all with us?

I think so! Yes.

Ok. Bucks Fizz it is.

This. ^ Perfomative nonsense spouted by people who will do nothing in real life to help anyone they claim to support.

Agree, they killed every aboriginal on Tasmania.
I’m going to watch the results, only bit I enjoy. But this year I’m going to vote for Israel.

😘

Of course Israel is allowed to compete !

Have you read the background of the singer...

How brave of her !!!

I have watched her auditions on Youtube, and she is a very good singer !!!

I hope she wins, but I know she won't.

Isreal came 5th out of 25 countries in Eurovision last year (2024,) showing that not everyone is against them.

Well, only if you don't count cultural genocide...

No.
