A place for all fans of the Eurovision Song Contest :D
Rules:
- No discrimination. This explicitely includes racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism. Don't be a jerk.
- Please be nice, friendly and welcoming. Criticism and discussions and okay, but don't hate on people for their opinions.
- Relevance to the Eurovision Song Contest. This space is made for the ESC, so all posts should be at least somewhat related to it.
Rules may be added or changed if necessary.

They should do this with all countries doing war crimes. They did it with Russia, they should do it with Isreal.
EBU insisted it would be political to kick out Israel but said no such thing about kicking out Russia
But the more practical reason: a bunch of member states threatened leaving over Russia's participation and haven't done so over Israel
