    They're not gonna change anything until the viewership quits, plain and simple.

    This.

    And sadly there's a vast majority of European viewers of the ESC that are totally fine with Israel's actions. After all... it's over there to some brown people. Eww. Keep them away from Europe.

    In the Netherlands one of the state channels organized the eurovision and did the broadcasting. They were the ones that decided on the boycott.

    Now one of the other channels announced they will go the broadcast. Which is so stupid, because it completely misses the point.

    Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia had threatened to boycott Eurovision if Israel remained in the competition

    That's the real answer, it's a fucking music contest, if that's too important for countries to boycott over this, then fuck those countries for their implicit support of ongoing genocide

    I guess they made a choice. We'll see what the consequences will be and how they handle them

    Read the article. They didn't vote on Israel paricipation. They only voted on new rules to prevent televote stuffing.

    Shame on the EBU. I guess I’ll see if they learn their lesson in 2027.
