  1. Israel is not in Europe, so they shouldn't be playing in European football either.Even if Paul McCartney wrote the song it would get nil points from pro Palestinian countries

  4. Calling art apolitical is utterly nonsensical. And anyone who wants to claim that Eurovision is separate from politics can have no objection to Russia being permitted to participate. And yet it is not, for good reason

  6. This whole thing is about politics. Funny how skynews hasn't reported on the death threats received by the Israeli singer or how she has to stay within the hotel for her safety.

    Clearly shows Jews still aren't safe in Europe almost 80 years after the end of the Second World War.

    But this is a common thing from skynews seeing as they have failed to inform their audience about other disturbing news in the UK.

  9. I honestly don't understand why Israel is coming. She should have made a nice video clip, saying that out of respect for the innocent people in Gaza that are suffering but dont have a voice on Eurovision she's not coming and also not to endanger all the contesters and public.

  10. Surely an excellent opportunity for LGBTQABCXYZ for Plasticine to show their solidarity without getting their flag poles shoved up their rear ends.

  17. Israel is not a part of Europe. As it is included, so should Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria. These are Middle Eastern countries, the same as Israel geographically.

  26. Israel isn't here as a political act? The country in the middle east taking part in a competition involving European nations? Also, ignore the fact the Israeli contestant directly mentioned Oct 7th in her original song lyrics. Yup, definitely no politics here.

    If Israel is allowed to participate then so should Palestine.

  34. Report the real news Sky🇬🇧 A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was stabbed to death in north London.
    The "shocking attack" took place at around 11.50am on Thursday, in Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware.
    Officers from the Metropolitan Police, London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance all
    attended but the woman died at the scene.
    Police believe the woman was aged in her 60s.
