Eurovision Song Contest 2026

All I see is Nazis making fun of us, nothing at all to be embarrassed about. Being Israeli on the other hand? Jesus that's an embarrassment no amount of commenting on reddit will wash off

Fair play RTE, the only decision that could be made.

Sadely all true, Ireland's history is definitely more pro fascist than pro Jew. We also took in a bunch of Nazi's after WW2.

I said this elsewhere but it's kind of apt here as well.

Ireland between this controversy about renaming a park just because people want to eradicate all traces of Jewishness from this country and the Eurovision fiasco, has proven itself yet again to be the most anti semitic country in Europe. The hold the Islamic terrorist/Hamas loving and anti Israel and anti semitic far left lunatics have on this country is terrifying. May god bless the people of Israel and the Jewish people as they face levels of hatred directed at them (under the guise of social justice and care for humanity) that hasn't been seen since the days of Nazi Germany.

October 7th 2023 was the day of the biggest mass slaughter of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The world and Ireland in particular responded to this by escalating and increasing their hatred of Jews. What a disgrace and what a disgusting shambles of a country we are.

If Israel drop their weapons then they and the Jews will be wiped out. If the Arabs ever drop there weapons then there will be peace. Very true and wise words those were indeed from Golda Meir.

Fair play. You've managed to make an utter tit of yourself on two threads with just one comment. Impressive.

Conveniently sweeping under the carpet the decades of absolute oppression Palestine has lived under because of Israel. Nothing started on October 7th, simply the lid coming off the pressure cooker in a very violent way. Your naivety and absolute lack of knowledge is amazing but not unexpected. I supposed you think Ireland just exploded in a fight for independence out of nowhere as well, those poor brits oppressing the country for 800 years had nothing to do with it.

You are an israeli simp and if you do live in Ireland please book yourself a ticket to Tel Aviv and get the **** out of here. Limp wristed ill informed clown ****.

Mod - warned re personal abuse.

It’s 2 years late but it’s better than never doing it. Fair play RTÉ.

The Nordics and Baltics have been hugely disappointing on this. They were the ones who we credit for helping to kick Russia out - never forget, after the Ukrainian invasion, the EBU was perfectly fine with Russia competing in 2022 - but they've been passive on the Israel question. They've obviously decided that if an aggressor can't hurt them, they're not bothered about it.

We'll probably never compete in the contest again.

What a pity.

Ireland isn’t anti Jews. It’s anti actions of the Israeli government and IDF. Not all Jews are Zionis.

I see the pro-Gencoide crowd have found the thread…

😂 never heard of Operation Paperclip? I’d recommend you take a peak, then let us know what you think of Americas history in comparison.

I totally disagree. It was not a war it was a genocide and it was all started by Isreal. Isreal conned Hamas into doing what they did so they could do what they did wipe out Gaza and kill hundreds of thosands of Palastinians. A war is when both sides have a chance of winning. That was never the case between Hamaa and Isreal. Yes Hamaa done something they should not have done but what Isreal done next was way worse. That went way overboard. There was no need for the amount of destruction or killings to happen that Isreal carried out so yes Isreal is guilty of Genocide and of human rights violations. Natinyawho needs to be held accountability and the rest of his government too.

I suspect this is the case for two reasons, firstly there'll be some bad blood there now between some broadcasters and the EBU but more importantly RTE will bank some annual savings on it.

The latter will keep us out I think.
