Sky News reports:

Eurovision is supposed to be a celebration of the unifying power of music. But for the past two years, it has attracted protests and fan boycotts over its inclusion of Israel amid the country's continued military action in Gaza.

In 2023, Israel was represented by Noa Kirel, her country's equivalent to Britney Spears. She came third with her song Unicorn.

She believes it would be unfair to punish the Israeli people for the actions of their government: "Voters understand that politics has no connection to this competition.

Quite. 

Er…but apparently it’s OK for the Eurovisionaries to ban Russia ‘indefinitely’ and to punish the Russian people.



In the face of this hypocritical nonsense it’s no wonder that Russia has resurrected its own Intervision contest and that Eurovision is fast becoming a Euromess of political double-think.
