    Israel has been criticized by various international organizations, including the United Nations, for its treatment of Palestinians. There are reports of human rights violations documented by recognized organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. These allegations encompass a wide range of serious offenses that necessitate making political and cultural statements to achieve progress through diplomatic pressure.

    This should be enough to ban Israel.

    That this needs a petition is a joke.

        There are a lot of reasons, that issue is risking blowing up the entire contest. But it as long as some EBU members are so strongly positioned on both sides I don’t see a solution. A solution will start to be possible when one side gives in.
