Some people in Iceland disagree with participation in 2019 because of Israel!

Re: ICELAND 2019
won't be the last country to have some sort of protest in participating next year in my opinion. it is what it is at the end of the day if people feel that strongly against competing they have every right to express their opinions, i just hope it doesn't have a massive impact on the number of participat

Re: ICELAND 2019
This is one my main issues with the whole thing (apart from the whole undeliberately suporting Hamas and Netanyahu), whe aren't sure how much of the signatures are valid or if they are even Icelandic, I'm 100% sure that a big percentage of them are from other countries because the petition was shared widely on BDS websites.

Re: ICELAND 2019
If RÚV is honestly going to take this seriously, then they are a weak broadcaster that are not only on the wrong side of history and facts, they show that they are also naive and easily manipulated. Iceland is a small country, so it's a good "market" for the BDS movement to manipulate signatures on and make it look like a "large portion of society", wheres in fact it might very well come from abroad and being duplicates of signatures
Also, RÚV like any other broadcaster knows the rule of the game, they know that the probability of Country A winning is always there and that means that the country could host, and then act like this just shows a disrespect towards the whole ESC concept and if they actually go through with this stupidity, EBU should sanction them with a 3 year ban imo

Re: ICELAND 2019
This is horrible news from Iceland. If this happen Iceland will miss a lot of my respect and everyone who talked about politics could just look at Iceland. I just hope RUV see this signatures and see if all of them is true and all of them is people over 18 years old.
Eurovision is about Music and every country who boikott this event should get a ban or fine if that is the reason why them withdraw.
Lucky enough Norway will take part. Even if some idiots trying to boikott this event. We still going to take part. Because most People understand that this is a song contest and not a politics contest.

This thread is not the place to discuss the Israel/Palestine conflict. Yes, you may discuss the petition and its effect specifically in relation to the contest, but do not go on tangents into politics. Consider this a general warning.

If Iceland do pull out, I will gain massive respect for them for sticking to their principles. It would be sad to see them go, but I doubt they'll be the only withdrawing country this season.

Re: ICELAND 2019
I don't have respect for them. If you go, you can show to the world what's going wrong in nations. Also it's still a party you are missing. If you host things, you have to open things up, that's why we all should go, even if you have an anti Israel feeling. (I don't have an opinion about that really) I'm not sure if this is political or not though. But I think everything is politics, so whatever.
