These statements seem coordinated

I see rumours about 4 or 5 extra countries ready to make statements

So we now have Iceland, Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and The Netherlands. I wonder who's next

This is EXACTLY what is needed. The only way we'll see any action against Israel is people actually pulling out, not just "ifs and maybes".

KEEP IT COMING, I say.

We all KNEW this would eventually happen, if the EBC didn't act. And it didn't. It turned a blind eye to Israel's BLATANT cheating - buoyed on by the right - "it's not cheatin, the dong was ... fine/good". They've killed it.

ebu is indifferent about countries withdrawing

No mention of Israel's cheating again!

Spain has now officially confirmed that they are OUT if Israel participates a

a year too late but great to see broadcasters actually threatening to pull out over this now

Two of the six biggest financial contributors withdrawing surely makes this impossible for the EBU now.

And I think if Germany were to actually pull out over Israel’s disqualification, they’d probably have said by now and all we’ve had is speculation from an Israeli source about it.

Germany won’t pull out. too lucrative a nights ratings for so little money.

They’ll never support the ban tho. They are FAR too scared about being accused of antisemitism by the Israelis. They will do literally anything possible to ignore Israeli war crimes if it means they can avoid accusations of „oh so things haven’t changed since 1945“

As part of your application to citizenship here in Germany you have to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and that you uphold Germanys special historical responsibility post WW2 to never again (except Israel of course, they can do a genocide but no one else can)

So when the votes are cast they are unpersuadable

Yeah my friends have been mentioning this ridiculous thing when they applied for citizenship here. I’ll have to do the same thing in a year when I’m eligible.

I can only confirm that hell will freeze over before Germany withdraws from this.
