A new poll suggests that 82% Of British people want Israel to be removed from the Eurovision Song Contest.
The country’s continued involvement with the Song Contest is the subject of controversy, with Russia having been removed following its invasion of Ukraine.
The poll was pieced together by Pablo O’Hana, and utilised a survey sample of 1093, done in a nationally representative manner.
A noted Eurovision fan himself, Pablo O’Hana adds: “Eurovision isn’t just about songs and staging – it’s about values. If Israel is permitted to compete, the people of Britain believe we should walk away. The BBC must find its backbone before walking into that meeting today.”
There should be an organized boycott of watching Eurovision and boycotting sponsors (if there isn’t already). Nothing has greater impact in a capitalistic society than hitting them in the pocketbook. Maybe give it a derisive nickname like “Erasurevision” or “Eurodivision” or something to highlight that Eurovision supporters support genocide.
the sponsor is Moroccan Oil. I doubt we are even aware of it is used in any of our supply chains.
Which, despite the name, is an Israeli company. I highly doubt Israel will get kicked out while MO is running the show.
