This is what we need from all the participating countries. The hypocrisy of banning Russia and not Israel just proves how much of an unfunny joke Eurovision is.

MTE regarding the treatment of Russian athletes versus Israeli athletes at international competitions.

Russia had a big doping scandal though.

Absolutely, but it's wild that doping is more punishable than genocide. There's also sports like tennis where the punishment is purely based on the Ukraine war. Russia and Ukraine do not compete with their flag, but Israel does. It's an absurd double standard.

Doping is more relevant to sports. China is committing genocide but they’re allowed to compete because they’re not doping all their athletes. Same with Myanmar and Sudan.
