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
I was really distrubed about this until I realized Moroccanoil is an Israeli company. Follow the money.
ahh yes the well known European country of Israel...
I have always found it odd that Israel plays in UEFA European tournaments in football/soccer and yet Jordan, Lebanon, etc do not.
Although there are many complains to be had about the EBU, I feel like being inclusive outside of european borders shouldn't be one.
I'd love to see more countries join. Just not genocidal ones though.
So you want the Olympics of music, not the EUROvision
Your closed mindedness speaks for itself.
Just because something originated from one continent doesn't mean only people from said contient should enjoy it. It's not even an European Union competition, it came from Switzerland which was never part part of EU.
By your own logic only Greeks should participate in the OLYMPIC games. Olympe was in Ancient Greece. Mount Olympus is literary in Greece.
australia is really appreciating our inclusion! we’ve always participated a lot - from loads of watch parties all over the country, to australians representing countries, even australians organising various aspects (there are some aussies that work on various countries’ teams every year)… being included and able to participate fully is so nice!
I'm really grateful Australia joins each year.
"Hey you, it's me again, hey you": from down under with another banger.
As it has been done since the dawn of time ans as it shall be done. MOGA! MOGA! MOGA!
Make Olympics Greek Again!!!

I like the intro video of the Israel singer is about cutting trees, the visual of her song is literally a mass bombing scene. So naked.
