"Frankly I think it's despicable that she [Yuval Raphael] should be targeted in this way. She should be a welcome person in the Eurovision Song Contest." Alan Shatter on Israel's participation in Eurovision. #TonightVMTV

@Alan__Shatter Has he talked about anything but Israel since leaving office?

Today, we remember Reyhaneh Jabbari, a 26-year-old Iranian woman EXECUTED for defending herself against RAPE. Imagine facing death simply for saying "No"! Western women, stand with us in amplifying Reyhaneh’s voice and all women in Iran who risk everything for their dignity and rights. #ReyhanehJabbari #WomanLifeFreedom

@Alan__Shatter Non-European countries shouldn’t be allowed participate in Eurovison, period. It’s supposed to be a showcase of the diversity of European cultures, not political whinging and complaining. If he’s that desperate he can move to the Middle East and establish DesertVision

@Alan__Shatter I'm giving Eurovision a miss this year, (and last year) like many others. A country openly committing genocide should have no part in modern society.

@Alan__Shatter Who cares what that psychotic genocide apologist thinks

@Alan__Shatter The Pariah state of Israel is not in the EU,therefore what's all the fuss about,no contest.

@Alan__Shatter Good man . I hope Ireland get right behind Israel like we did last year. Ireland gave Israel a massive 10 points last year... can we make it 12? Israel douze points🇮🇱

@Alan__Shatter Switched it off. Propaganda merchant.

@Alan__Shatter Well said,

Well said @Alan__Shatter It is concerning that a number of employees in RTE are trying to politicize this event. Thankfully RTE is in a minority here in pushing this agenda. It’s just unfortunate that the Irish public has to listen to this drama rather than focusing on the actual contest.

@Alan__Shatter Protect this man at all costs. An outstanding performance by him tonight. #TruthMatters
