Iceland threatens to pull out of Eurovision if Israel competes

  1. So… I guess nobody watched the movie “Eurovision” to truly understand the gravity of the situation…

  2. Iceland is just so far away from the rest of the world that they’ve lost grasp on reality.

  3. Iceland: “Screw your Eurovision, I’ll make my own Eurovision, with blackjack and hookers…and volcanoes.

  4. Oh no, what will we ever do, how will we ever recover from not seeing Iceland’s song? Oh well, anyways,

  5. Misleading headline from the Jerusalem Post. Iceland has done no such thing. An association of Icelandic composers /musicians has requested the Icelandic authorities withdraw, given that Israel won’t be banned by the only authority that could wield such power, the European Broadcasting Union.

  6. Iceland doesn’t officially. Some of their songwriters do

  7. It’s sadly a politically motivated show, not who performs the best. It was no coincidence that they gave the win to Ukraine last year.

  8. If no one has pulled out of Eurovision because it sucks balls I doubt they’ll do it because of this

  9. Oh no, how will we ever cope without the participation and co-operation of *checks notes* ‘Ice Land’

    What an intolerable and devastating loss this will be for all of us 🙄

  10. I know, whataboutism. But what about Aserbaidschan, what they did to Nagorno-Karabakh is fine with them? Because no Jews had been involved, or the media barely covered it?

  11. Eurovision is bullshit anyway. Participants need to be from certain groups to win and not based on the performance itself. Voting also a joke. Countries voting for neighbors and neighbors returning the favor 😂

  12. Countries Iceland has had no problem allowing to compete in Eurovision:

    * Turkey (a belligerent semi-dictatorship repeatedly vetoing NATO membership for Sweden)
    * Azerbaijan (who just ethnically cleansed the Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh)
    * Hungary (run by a fascist dictator increasingly favouring Russia and disrupting European unity)
    * Belarus (A pro-Russian oligarchic dictatorship aiding Putin against Ukraine)

    Countries Iceland has a problem allowing to compete in Eurovision:

    * Israel (the world’s only Jewish state, currently engaged in a retaliatory war against an Islamist death-cult who are hell-bent on enacting another Holocaust of the Jews)

  13. This is not true, it was a statement released by some songwriters in Iceland. The broadcaster, RUV hasn’t made any statement….

  14. > Be Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation

    > Air in Hebrew, Arabic and Yiddish

    > Have Jews, Arabs, Circassians, and Druze people as Board Members

    > Continuously oppose ruling government’s anti democratic policies

    > Face threat of liquidation from ruling government

    > Ruling government cuts your funding

    > Country faces terror attacks

    > Somehow manages to participate in Eurovision despite low funding and stagnant economy

    > Some Icelanders who have nothing to do with Israel/Palestine protest your removal from Eurovision

  15. I mean, it makes sense. Eurovision banned Russia when they started their invasion/genocide, so Israel should follow suit. But they won’t because Israel sucks up a lot more – Russia has always been kinda negative toward Eurovision.
