The EBU isn't apolitical they suspended Russia over their war of aggression, but it would indeed be unprecedented to bar a country from the ESC without it being suspended and Israel has been occupying Palestine pretty much since it was founded.

I will definitely be watching it, the audience reaction could get interesting during Israel's performance. The Haaretz had the good sense to call for a withdrawal from the ESC but the rightoids of course aren't listening.
