Same as this year. I imagine it'll be the same with the other countries (Iceland, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain) who boycotted this year. However, as self-congratulatory as this "BREAKING: no change from last time" headline seems, I do think it's important to keep talking about the boycott at every excuse, since I feel like the UK might be persuaded to join in the boycott next year if the idea takes hold in the national discourse, and that would be significant.

    I agree. Continuing to talk about the ongoing boycott might motivate others to join. And this can also extend beyond Eurovision. Even everyday activities/consumption can try to steer away from Israeli products and those associated.

    Imo this is the only right thing to do especially considering Israel efforts to buy the competition - both by 'coincidently' bringing the main sponsors and spending money to get votes across the globe.

    Other broadcasters should not allow Israel to hijack the competition and use it as propaganda. Nobody should allow that ever, but most certainly not when a country is committing genocide. Shame on every broadcaster pulling the 'we dont want to make this political'-card.
