After the European Broadcast Union (#EBU) decided not to put the participation of #Israel to #Eurovision 2026 to the votes, #BoycottEurovision is finally becoming a thing.

Boycotting countries so far:

• Ireland
• Spain
• Netherlands
• Slovenia

To be decided:

• Belgium
• Iceland

Eurovision took a brave stance to support the rights of LGBTQ+ minorities in times when they were still denied in their own home countries.

They also took a brave stance by excluding Russia from the festival after it attacked Ukraine.

But they’re failing to take a clear stance against this #genocide, proving their partisanship in the minorities that they decide to support and the aggressors they decide to condemn.

Hence it’s everybody’s duty to ensure that Eurovision 2026 will be about the Israeli music act alone, with no audiences to watch and cheer for them.

Would love to see my country do that

Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands to boycott Eurovision because Israel is in.

“Germany, a major Eurovision backer, had signalled it would not take part if Israel was barred.”

Fucking yes… finally! Thank you, Ireland, Spain, and Netherlands!

“Ireland will not participate in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest, and it will not be broadcast on RTÉ, after organiser the European Broadcasting Union confirmed today that Israel will be allowed to take part … Spain’s national broadcaster RTVE and the Netherlands’ AvroTros also announced that they would boycott the contest.”

Maybe we should rename it to the Genocidevision Song Contest?

Now… any more European countries with a backbone?

Just came across some TikToks of Spanish people making "end of an era" compilations of their contribution to #Eurovision, since the Spanish broadcaster reaffirmed they will not participate as long as Israel remains in the competition 🥹 I've been mourning the loss of this festival for the last 2 years as I refused to watch this libwashing of genocide, and it's nice to see entire countries (NL, PT, SI, IR, IS would also boycott) waving goodbye rather than turn a blind eye 👏

Three countries have pulled out of the Eurovision Song Contest after organizers opted not to vote on Israel's future participation, allowing it to take part in next year's event. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/05/world/countries-boycott-eurovision-over-israel/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #israel #eurovision #spain #ireland #netherlands #music
