Disclaimer that this is from an Israeli tabloid but it's quite a new story so hasn't been picked up elsewhere. I thought the other day that some awkward compromise is what the EBU will likely pursue and here we are. I don't think it's good enough to simply perform under a neutral flag, they need to be banned from the competition.

Tell them they can perform under the Palestinian flag 🤣

I mean, at this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they steal the flag after stealing the land and the cuisine.

I mean: if the artists would fly the Palestinian flag and shame Israel for what it is currently doing? I would celebrate that.

It's not happening, but it could be done right. If the artists had some moral compass and not supporting the current regime. Which probably would disqualifiy them as possible candidates.
