“Since Eurovision doesn’t take steps to remove ... a genocidal, violent country that causes wars from its festival, it’s very good that Spain withdraws.” After Eurovision allowed Israel to partake in the contest, Spaniards say they support their country’s boycott of the event.

“Israel views Eurovision as an opportunity to spread propaganda and whitewash its crimes in Gaza. The idea that it's a ‘non-political’ event is complete nonsense.” I spoke about the shameful refusal to ban Israel from Eurovision.

"For years Israel has always used Eurovision as a platform for propaganda." Residents of Basel, Switzerland — the host city for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest — have called on organisers to ban Israel from this year’s competition, as protesters took to the opening parade demanding action. Many carried Palestinian flags and banners, urging authorities at Eurovision and the European Broadcasting Union to take a moral stand. The calls reflect growing international outrage over Israel’s ongoing atrocities on Gaza and its long record of human rights violations against Palestinians — actions many argue make its inclusion in a contest celebrating unity and peace deeply inappropriate. Over 70 former Eurovision contestants have signed an open letter demanding that Israel and its national broadcaster, KAN, be barred from participating. Israel’s presence at Eurovision has long been controversial, not only due to its geographical location outside Europe but also because of its systemic abuses and occupation, which critics say stand in stark contrast to the values the contest claims to represent.

🇪🇸🇮🇪🇸🇮🇳🇱🇮🇸 Spain has joined Ireland, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and Iceland in announcing they will boycott the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna if Israel is allowed to participate. Spain is the first of Eurovision’s “Big Five” to take this step. The decision was approved by state broadcaster RTVE after Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun urged a pullout over Israel’s war on Gaza. Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS said it “can no longer justify Israel’s participation given the severe human suffering in Gaza.” For the most recent contest, held in Basel, Switzerland in May 2025, and in 2024, the Israeli government ran a paid campaign on Google and social media urging Eurovision voters to back its entry – including step-by-step instructions to maximize votes – sparking criticism that it undermined the spirit of the competition.

The BBC is reportedly considering boycotting next year’s Eurovision Song Contest if Israel is allowed to participate. Stephen Silverman, Director of Investigations & Enforcement at Campaign Against Antisemitism, told TalkTV that this exposes the broadcaster’s entrenched anti-Israel bias, a bias that too often spills into antisemitism. Eurovision is meant to unite nations through music, not punish the world’s only Jewish state. After Israel nearly won last year’s contest in a landslide public vote, the BBC appears willing to side with a small minority of European countries threatening to boycott, prioritising virtue signalling over fairness, public opinion and the true spirit of the competition. Watch the full interview with Stephen Silverman on TalkTV.
