EBU: Israel can normally participate in Eurovision 2024!
With its statement to Aftonbladet, the EBU confirms and clarifies without any doubt that Israel will normally participate in Eurovision 2024, since the country’s public television meets all the conditions.
The EBU’s statement comes after a series of similar statements from various public broadcasters. It is emphasized that the members of the EBU consider that the Israeli public television KAN meets all the conditions for participation in the upcoming contest.
The Eurovision Song Contest is a competition between public broadcasters from across Europe and the Middle East that are members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). It’s a competition for broadcasters – not governments – and the Israeli broadcaster has been participating for 50 years. Eurovision is an apolitical event that unites audiences around the world through music.
What the EBU follows in essence is what happens in all major events, sporting and non-sporting, where Israeli representatives normally participate.
The above not only confirms everything we know about Israel’s certain participation in Eurovision 2024, but also leaves no doubt about it. Any calls for a boycott are meaningless.
Stay tuned to Eurovisionfun for all the updates!

This article is a thinly veiled attempt at propaganda for a colonial state engaged in genocide. Shame on you. It is the moral imperative of any decent person to boycott those complicit in genocide. What possible reason could there be to deny and discourage that, except for the most virulent ignorance and/or hate?
colonial state ? Israel is not at all the sovereign in Gaza nor in Area A in the West Bank, those Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have their own police, parliament, court, tax offices, etc. The last time there were elections in Gaza it was in 2007 and they won 65% of the votes that Hamas’s treaty is annihilation State of Israel. Hamas has since canceled the elections in Gaza.
have never heard of such a genocide that Israel distributes leaflets two weeks before the ground attack for the residents of Gaza to move to the southern area in Rafah near the Egyptian border so that it will not be harmed, it even took over Hamas television to send a message to the residents of Gaza to move south so that it will not be harmed, Israel allows daily admission Trucks with humanitarian equipment such as: water, food, medicine, clothes, etc. This does not sound like genocide.
Even Israel allowed a humanitarian route along Saleh al-Din in Gaza for a few hours every day so that the civilian population could escape, do you know who hurt them? Hamas fired at the population in Gaza and even confiscated their car keys so they wouldn’t run away to use it as a human shield after Hamas committed war crimes and crimes against humanity against Israeli civilians including:
Is that for real? Not only has Israel kidnapped and imprisoned thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank without charge, they have also murdered hundreds, destroyed infrastructure and bulldozed thousands of homes. They have colonised and annexed much of the WB and it is under Israeli military rule.
Gaza is a prison camp as publicly stated by the then British prime minister now foreign secretary David Cameron. It controls all entry & exit, the border with Egypt, the sea, air, imports & exports, taxation & economy. Now it has committed genocide with a Palestinian child being murdered every 7 minutes.
Ban this colonial Apartheid regime from Eurovision. If you can ban Russia who hasn’t killed 1/4 of the numbers Israel has in 3 months then you have an obligation to do the same.
Civilised people of the world are horrified by this regime who’s ministers are openly calling for genocide.
If Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, why does it endanger its soldiers? Why do you need a military maneuver? After all, according to foreign publications, Israel has
A nuclear weapon, she can drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza and eliminate all of Gaza in less than 5 minutes without risking a single hair from a soldier’s head? And why is Israel bringing humanitarian equipment into Gaza if it is committing genocide? I simply have not heard in any war that the country that was attacked and is defending itself against a terrorist organization is the one that takes care of bringing humanitarian equipment to the side that attacked it in the first place.
Is your response genuine? Israel cannot arrest anyone it wants if he is not suspected of sabotage. Israel is not the sovereign in Gaza and until 7/10/23 they could live as they want, they also have a common border with Egypt, not to mention tunnels to Egypt. How do you think they have a zoo in Gaza? Did you know there is a zoo in Gaza? Where did the lions come from? The tigers? the monkeys? There is a siege there, isn’t there?

There is a difference between those who fight for liberation and those who fight for destruction. There is a difference between someone who kicked you under the table because you pissed him off, and someone who chases you with a knife to slaughter you. Get up to hit you, wake up to hit him. Rises to kill you, kill him first
The United States did not carry out carpet bombing in Baghdad nor in Basra. But it did carry out carpet bombings in Mosul and Raqqa, which were taken over by ISIS. Why not in Baghdad as well as in Mosul? Because the size of the threat is the strength of the reaction. In Baghdad there was minimal destruction because the fighting was against a regular army, or what was left of it. In Mosul, the fight was against a much smaller terrorist organization, but an organization whose vulnerability was bad, a murderous organization, an organization that had already committed genocide against the Jews, an organization that threatened to take over the world.
When it comes to the conflict between Israel and Hamas – Israel’s justifications for hitting Hamas hard are much more grounded than the justifications the United States and its allies had for fighting terrorism in general, and fighting ISIS in particular. Because Hamas officials and spokesmen have repeatedly declared that the goal is the destruction of the State of Israel, the extermination of Jews and the conquest of the entire world.
