    They can't ban Israel, that would be "political" (banning Russia was a no-brainer tho)

        You get to be part of eurovision if you are in Europe or doing ethnic cleansing. Them's the rules.

      pedant mode to say it's not called Eurovision because it's for Europe, Eurovision is the name of the television network (hence Israel/Azerbaijan/Australia)

      calling it the Channel Six Song Contest would be the same thing

      We have this discussion every year It’s because of the tv network they’re on. aus-delenda-est is an occasional contestant and 🇱🇧🇲🇦 have been on it to.

        Yeah, but it's not like they've historically been a part of EBU. They are the newest member, only joining in 2017.

        edit: only sorta true

        iirc there was some posturing about kicking out britain after brexit though

        edit: i looked it up and i think it was actually just right wing tabloids trying to claim that the big scary EU was trying to bully britain over it leaving but it was basically invented out of thin air

      The only principled boycott America has ever participated in, even accidently.

    I'm calling from now that Israel will win with a very emotional, musically bland song about "terrorists" and hostages

      Their song is about October 7 but they've been asked to tone down the lyrics and while originally saying they would refuse they've now agreed to do it. They'll engage in genocide but don't even have the spine to stand up to spineless Europe.

      Alternatively:

      • A German love song to "Israel"
      • Someone from the Reddit belt with an upbeat song about slaying the Russian orcs
      • A terf islander singing about how she wants a man who is not woke

    This will be the easiest boycott ever, Eurovision is terrible and I have never cared.

    I used to love Eurovision but over the last three years, as I slowly turned into the Joker, I just can't be bothered with it anymore

      Oh, I thought Ukraine was supposed to win until the war was over. I don't pay attention to it
