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?

I can't boycott it because I have never watched it since the days of Pearl and Teddy Carr

How long have you been opposed to the state of Israel? How long have you cared about their inclusion in Eurovision?

Interesting fact: Pearl and Teddy were both 98 when they died!

Boycotting it would just be performative so no I will not be boycotting it

I love eurovison

Absolutely!

No way. Happy to watch Eurovision and listen to all the songs.

To reiterate, I have absolutely nothing against the woman representing Israel and agree that she’s very brave. I’m also aware that no one cares I’m boycotting it, I just wanted to see if anyone else was also boycotting it.

I'll vote for Israel if they do a Hebrew version of "My Lovely Horse".

With children being starved to death by the IDF, the least I can do is boycott Eurovision.

I said they aren't currently committing a genocide.

I don't understand why Israel has ever been in Eurovision. It's supposed to be a European competition.

Yes, I heard you.

No, it's not, it's anyone in the EBU. Just mostly Europeans

See my previous post

I’m boycotting it based on the fact that I have ears.

I love the nonsense and will carry on loving the nonsense. In all honesty I need silliness in my life more than ever so I hope everyone goes for full ridiculous songs this year. No long sad ballads.

There is no genocide. Even Hamas quietly accepts most of the deaths are combatants. And see my previous post. Are you currently pressuring Egypt into opening their borders? Or is it just the Jews who should?

Have you seen some of the Gazan restaurants on socials?

Eh? What's the difference with last year? Israel was allowed to compete then too.

Personally I find it a bit weird for Israel to compete, as they are not on the European continent. But I suppose the same could be said about Australia.

I usually enjoy Eurovision, will definitely be boycotting. Israel is committing genocide. Contrary to popular belief, Israel started this war with Palestine

Boycotted? I will be voting for them!

I am not watching that political rubbish, neither memorable songs nor winners, weird contest

We are boycotting, we did last year too, it’s a tiny gesture to show solidarity with the children being forcibly starved to death.

Makes me a bit sad as I loved watching it with my mum as a kid and I would love to watch it with my daughter but they need to be consistent- they kicked out Russia for war crimes they need to kick out Israel too!
