The EBU have to address this at the show. More so if additional countries pull out. They can't just sweep this under the rug now.

Devastating news for Icelandic twink lovers everywhere. Great news for civilization
Canada just got in, it would be a gigachad move to immediately boycott
replies:
[Israeli public broadcaster] "A boycott may begin today with Israel, but no one knows where it will end or who else it may harm."
If that's what they're leading with, it shows how weak the rest of their defence is.
(also, am I being cynical, or is "who knows where it will end" meant to be lowkey invoking the you-know-what?)
I didn't realize we (Spain) withdrew. Either that was a while ago or they glossed it over on the news.
replies:
I'm not super familiar with Eurovision but is there a world where enough countries boycott that someone actually takes action or am I being naive?
replies:
I’m just listening to an interview with the head of the Icelandic National Broadcaster and their line is that this was “not a political decision” on their part, but because this programme item would no longer be the “joyful unifying event” that it has been and is supposed to be, so they’re not taking part. There is a bit of hand-washing going on, but they’re not really wrong either.
Is eurovision even that big of an event as like 2010s?
