Moving here as a bit more relevant.
There’s always been a bit of a “boycott Israel” faction for Eurovision. this year there is greater profile due to everything else.
I think the main difference between the Russia/ukraine situation & Israel/Gaza
- Russia invaded unprovoked an established sovereign state.
- Both Russia & Ukraine are members of the EBU
- Israel/Gaza situation was initiated by Hamas attacking Israel (including at music peace conference ironically)
- Gaza/Palastine is not an independent sovereign state
-Palestine is not a separate member of EBU
So it makes if a little tricker for the EBU to take action against a participating country without taking a political stance.
