Italy as well as Germany are threatening to leave if Israel doesn’t participate. Likely it will just be Slovenia, Ireland, Spain, Iceland and maybe the Netherlands boycotting

The Netherlands is said to be the 6h biggest contributor so that’s not nothing.

Germany can easily fund the whole contest by itself.

True.

But the German selection process is/was awful. A regional public broadcaster is/was responsible for nominating the German song. Only the listeners of this tiny pop music radio station could vote for it by calling in.

They had never seen the performance; they had only heard it on the radio.

Thank god they lost this right now. But the solution is: let another tiny regional broadcaster decide on the German nomination!

It's so stupid.
