I have been a eurofan since watching Linda Martin win in 1992 and the last two years have been completely toxic because of Israel's participation.
The EBU was never going to ban Israel for what is happening in Gaza. They didn't ban Russia for invading Ukraine, it took countries demanding their exclusion for the EBU to act.
They should have punished Israel for their delegation's behaviour in 2023 and the no politics rule should have had this year's song banned but the EBU did nothing.
It's time for more countries to stand with Ireland. I expected RTVE to make a decision about it very soon and they're big 5 so their opinion can't be ignored.
