More than 70 previous participants of Eurovision have called on the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to ban Israel’s Kan public broadcaster from the song contest.
The participants, who include contestants, songwriters and lyricists, accused Israel’s Kan broadcaster of being complicit in Israeli genocide against Palestinians.
“Kan is complicit in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza and the decades-long regime of apartheid and military occupation against the entire Palestinian people,” the participants wrote in a joint letter.

The Dutch contestant tried last year, didn't work out well for them.

Yeah because they were alone. If half the countries do it then it will have an effect that cant be hidden or falsified easily.

We can't normalize genocide. This Zionist PR stunt needs to be kicked out
