next year; after the gaza riviera has broken ground.

First Spain, and now Ireland. I don't even know what goes on at Eurovision, but let's hope the momentum on this keeps going.

Well done Ireland! This is a statement more countries should follow

Israel isn't in Europe, so why is it in Eurovision in the first place?

Isrel is not even remotely in Europe anyway, and they for damn sure do not share european values on much of anything. They never should have been allowed to compete in the first place.

There should be a "pariah vision" where the cunt countries all compete for who is most nationalistic. I might even watch that.

RTÉ feels that Ireland’s participation would be unconscionable given the ongoing and appalling loss of lives in Gaza. RTÉ is also deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza, and the denial of access to international journalists to the territory, and the plight of the remaining hostages.”

I’m pleasantly surprised. I’ve seen RTÉ and TG4 employees promote the Eurovision when it was held in Israel (around 2019 I think). It was on their personal accounts too which bothered me most. Well done to them for this.

Edit: Update; the Dutch broadcaster has adopted the same position as RTÉ https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2025/0912/1533135-the-netherlands-joins-rte-in-israel-eurovision-warning/
