  1. Assuming before I read it that Debra Messing and Mayin Bialik are on it.

    Update: Of course they are.

  2. Groundbreaking-Duck on

    What I want to know is which celebrities signed the previous letters that haven’t signed this one.

  3. VioletLovesRowlet on

    Funny that Sharon Osbourne is saying “Artists and culture are being dragged into the angry, misinformed politics of the moment” when she is happy to support Reform and Israel.

  4. Broad-Radish-7895 on

    the stark difference between “stop murdering children” and “stop attempting to exclude me from your parties”

  5. Interesting Boy George is on the list seeing as he is a songwriter for San Marino’s entry (let’s just say the odds are not in its favour…)

    I’m not watching for the first time since 2016 due to this and the atrocious backstage culture the past two series and if things continue I doubt I’ll ever go back

  6. Nice-Cow-7606 on

    Sure, whatever. Let’s invite Russia back while we’re at it.

    Also there are many non-genocide related reasons to ban Israel from Eurovision.

  7. Next-Math-3110 on

    “Music is a place for unity not division.” Tell that to the fucking apartheid state.

    Edit:typo

    I only watched Eurovision for the first time a few years ago and got semi into watching it with the wife. It’s insane that they let one of the main five original countries drop out just to support Israel instead.

    They added Ukraine to show solidarity due to Russia’s attacks on them, yet they also include Israel who is doing the same or far worse to Palestine and other middle-east countries.

    Absolutely deplorable.

    Even after all the atrocities Israel has committed in Gaza/Pali and continues to commit there plus Lebanon…including, wiping off children in schools in Iran?!

    Insanity that they’re still standing in support for Israel 🤢

  10. I don’t think there’s one celebrity on there I have a preconceived positive feeling about anyways.

  11. Boy George holding a male escort prisoner by handcuffing him to a radiator makes perfect sense now

  12. GentlewomenNeverTell on

    Have they signed an open letter pleading with Israel to stop the genocide?

  14. My moral compass points in whatever direction is the opposite of Gene Simmons. This was a useful compass calibration, looks like it’s still working fine.

  15. BookishHobbit on

    Why do the Americans care about Eurovision? Haven’t they ruined enough lately?
