"It shouldn't be put on poor Bambi Thug's shoulders to make this decision, it should be coming from the EBU." Singer and actor Steve Wall is calling on Ireland to boycott the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in protest at Israel's participation. #rtept | RTÉ News

@rtenews Will they be calling for all the Irish athletes, who’ve trained for years, to boycott the Olympics? Nah!

@rtenews Is Steve going to give Bambie a platform of 200 odd million some other way? No? Didn't think so...

@rtenews What? A satanist weirdo representing Ireland......oh OK..

@rtenews She said "If I wasn't in the Eurovision, she would boycott it". Anyone want to explain to me how that works.

@rtenews Couldn't care less whether she goes or not.What I do care about is @rte expending money on something the vast majority of the country has little interest in.

@rtenews The organising committee and host country should have already shut the door on Israel’s participation, shouldn’t be down individual countries like Ireland to make a stand and it should certainly not be down to an individual artist to to pull out as a token response

@rtenews Boycott? Will you also advocate boycotting the Olympics and the European Football championship? Didn't think so!

@rtenews I'd say she will get to boycott the second round

@rtenews Ireland isn't going to win anyway. We won in the past through ability and charm but Ireland's recent offers into Eurovision are only cuckoldry to foreign powers.

@rtenews Are there people who honestly believe if @Bambiethug doesn’t perform a song in the Eurovision that Netanyahu will suddenly decide to stop carpet bombing Gaza? Russia’s expulsion sure deterred them, didn’t it? oh wait…
