Slow clap. Wow that’s so brave of them.
It’s so sad this is necessary. While there have been some wars going on (e.g. Balkan), Europe had some very calm decades. This rule didn’t exist because it wasn’t really necessary to have it to begin with.
2 years of ongoing genocide by Israel, continuing low intensity post-ceasefire, and only now does Eurovision start waking up.
And they don’t even bar participation. They just bar hosting, for reasons of security of the participants musicians and audience.
What a fucking moral disgrace, this European „institution“ continues to be.
>Five countries — Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Iceland — boycotted the 2026 contest in Vienna
At least that growing boycott seems to start having an effect.
Israel is save. Only war, not genocide.
what about genocidal countries?
What about banning countries that is an apartheid state?
Why not just ban Israel and let Ukraine stay lol.
This organization has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down too many times for me to ever give it another second of view time. So nobody cares about what new rules you want to add to your irrelevant little show.
How about banning them entirely
The rumors I heard was that Israel was actually quite content with 2nd place because they didn’t want to go through the logistical nightmare of hosting
An unsolution – their ass is burning that Israel might finally win due to half-legit, half-not reasons, so instead of solving that, they pat themselves on the back by solving „Israel soon will be hosting and the backlash might be even bigger“ problem instead.
How about banning countries who are invading their neighbours?
Eurovision is getting jerked by Israel year after year, proving every time that the alleged influence is not just an hoax.
Get Israel out of the competition forever and you’ll get a no stop appreciation from any single fucking European country for the next 50y ffs.
Inb4 “We arent at war, we are just
1. Doing a Military operation
2. Under attack
3. Humanitarian mission
4. Doing genocide
5. War of self defence so you banning us is antisemitism
6. Practicing our religion
How about banning countries that are not in Europe at all?
In other words, Eurovision bans Ukraine from hosting since Russia is not at war (special operation still)
Everything but dealing with the core of the problem
The real news is not that, it’s that if a country at war ends up winning, the actual hosting country is not required to host „on behalf of that country“ (although they are free to do so). The most practical consequence is that if, for example, Israel or Ukraine end up winning, and Germany ends up hosting, the German broadcaster has no obligation to include the broadcaster of the winning country in the organisation of the event, or make any special concessions or references to the past winning country (although I imagine the winning singer would of course be invited to perform).
A sensible decision for once.
