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?

@aral The Norwegian state broadcaster has decided to be in favor of genocide. Or, as they call it: "we're not political".

@defaultmediatransmitter We’re not political… genocide is acceptable for us.
