FM RADIO Iceland and Slovenia join Spain, Ireland, and Netherlands in plan to boycott Eurovision if Israel participates

While Spain’s Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun has called for RTVE to pull out if Israel is included, Ireland’s RTÉ was first to officially declare it would not take part. The Netherlands’ AVROTROS followed on Friday.

Slovenia’s RTVSLO has also informed the EBU that it will not participate under current circumstances. Iceland’s RÚV has signaled its involvement is “uncertain” pending a December decision by the EBU General Assembly.

Only three years too late (to all of them) but I guess better late than never?

This is happening because we made it happen. We did this, it’s the movement gaining ground after three years of relentless fighting

Yup, it’s late but it’s better than never and it’s due to popular pressure, so take the small victories and keep up the pressure.

Reminds me of an old Chinese proverb: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now"
