The Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Malmö, Sweden on May 11, 2024. #eurovision #eurovision2024 #esc #esc2024

No, it shouldn't. If Russia is banned for their crimes, there shouldn't be double standards for Israel. Of course, in the West our governments would never have double standards about something as serious as the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, to say nothing of war crimes on a massive scale. 🙄

Sorry but Duncan wasn’t a Fin, he’s Dutch.

[erina]

If russia got banned why they allowed?

[lindab.]

Russia attacked Ukraine and Hamas attacked Israel . See how Russia and Israel are different 🙄

You put Duncan Lawrence by the flag of Finland, but he is Dutch! 😅😂❤

Cultural boycotting...reminds me of German, 1933.

The ESC commitee said that the Contest isn't political. Ok cool so where is Russia 2024 if its not political?! And no i'am not for Russia but it isn't fair!

It was already strange that an Asian country participated in the European Song Contest, but now that that country is also publicly committing Genocide, it is more than undesirable that they still participate in something that strives for fraternization

Russia attacked Ukrain.
Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and its fighting back, defending itself.
2 different things.
💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱

When the UN couldn’t convict Israel for war crimes
And the International Court of Justice couldn’t convict Israel for war crimes
Maybe it’s because there is no war crime from Israels side;)

Sweden does not want Israel in Eurovision; 23200 Swedes have signed their names saying they want Israel to be excluded from the competition!

[YairLes]

The whole competition is about politics

[ImmortalRimas]

No none-European countries should be allowed full stop because guess what they are not European. I’m sure someone here will explain it to me but I never understood why countries such as Australia & Isreal were the exception in the first place

[mslbybj]

Why is Israel allowing humanitarian support to the Palestinian and they don't allow the red cross even to visit the Israeli hostages? How unhuman can the Palestinians be?

[london]

Russia started their war, Israel didn't!

[jellederonde]

Israel is in my opinion allowed. The broadcast is following the rules. So lets talk about facts and not emotion.

[vincelemaire]

People of Europe spoke loud and clear: 323 points for Israel! 🎉

❤️🇨🇭❤️💙🇮🇱💙

[Esclover]

Yes, they 100% should be able to participate.

[isabellatidd]

No, Israel shouldn’t be allowed to participate

[Ironbanner]

Israel is not a European country, and by allowing them to participate in European competitions, you are kind of admitting that they are a 'European' country in Asia, making it a colony.

Also if Australia and Israel can participate, why cant countries like India or Korea? Hmmmm
