Israel will be allowed to participate in Eurovision 2026. This comes after a vote was held at the EBU’s General Assembly on Thursday 4 December over the new rules that organisers had proposed for the contest.
Leaked images of the voting results show that 738 votes were cast in favour of accepting the rule changes and not moving forward with a separate vote on Israel’s participation at the contest.
Of the 1122 votes cast, 264 voted against the measure and 120 abstained.
Countries immediately withdraw
Following the vote, four countries have already confirmed they will withdraw from next year’s contest in Vienna over Israel’s ongoing presence.
They are the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain.
Statement from Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS
AVROTROS has decided not to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026. This decision follows a careful and extensive deliberation process in which we consulted a broad range of stakeholders: from the Israeli ambassador to Amnesty International, from the EBU to several European public broadcasters, as well as our own Association Council, Works Council, Supervisory Board, and the many thousands of Eurovision fans who reached out to us. After weighing all perspectives, AVROTROS concludes that, under the current circumstances, participation cannot be reconciled with the public values that are fundamental to our organisation. This decision was taken in close coordination with the Dutch Public Broadcasting (NPO), which respects and supports the conclusions we have drawn.
Review of the Process
On 12 September 2025, AVROTROS noted that the severe humanitarian suffering in Gaza, the restrictions on press freedom, and the political interference surrounding the most recent edition of the Eurovision Song Contest were incompatible with the values we stand for. In that context, AVROTROS concluded that participation by the Israeli broadcaster KAN in this year could no longer be aligned with our responsibilities as a public broadcaster. Reliability, independence, and humanity are our guiding principles.
EBU Response and Developments
The EBU has acknowledged that political interference occurred during the previous edition and has announced additional measures to prevent a recurrence. However, these measures do not alter what happened during the last contest. Today, the General Assembly decided that Israel will be allowed to participate in 2026. At the same time, the meeting made clear that concerns about the neutrality and apolitical character of the Eurovision Song Contest remain significant among several European public broadcasters.
Conclusion
What unfolded over the past year, including the infringement of universal values such as humanity, press freedom, but also the political interference that occurred during the previous edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, crossed a boundary for us. That remains decisive for AVROTROS, regardless of the steps taken since. Additionally, the situation in Gaza remains extremely fragile and deeply concerning. At this moment, it is simply too early to speak of a substantial, stable improvement that would allow us to participate in the Song Contest in a way that aligns with our values.
Statement from Taco Zimmerman, General Director of AVROTROS
“This has not been an easy decision, nor one taken lightly. The Eurovision Song Contest is of great importance to us. Culture unites, but not at any price. What has happened over the past year has tested the limits of what we can uphold. Universal values such as humanity and press freedom have been seriously compromised, and for us, these values are non-negotiable. As a public broadcaster, we have a responsibility to remain true to our core values, even when that is difficult or sensitive.”

Statement from Irish broadcaster RTÉ
“Following today’s EBU Winter General Assembly in Geneva at which Israel’s participation in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest was confirmed, RTÉ’s position remains unchanged. RTÉ will not participate in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, nor will RTÉ broadcast the competition.
“RTÉ feels that Ireland’s participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there, which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk. RTÉ remains deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza during the conflict and the continued denial of access to international journalists to the territory.”
Statement from Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO
RTV Slovenia Board Chairwoman Natalija Gorščak said at the General Assembly:
“Our journalists were not and still are not allowed to enter Gaza, where more than 200 journalists were killed. Last year we saw that the Israeli performance was political. Don’t forget that we banned a similar performance by a Russian singer in Ukraine. In 2016, we opened Pandora’s box in Stockholm when a political song won, and since then we have been fighting against politics at Eurovision.
“We are all trapped. We are hostages of the political interests of the Israeli government.”
“For the third year in a row, the public has demanded that we say no to the participation of any country that attacks another country. We must follow European standards for peace and understanding. Eurovision has been a place for joy and happiness from the very beginning, performers and audiences were united by music, and it should remain that way.”
“Our message is: we will not participate in the ESC if Israel is there. On behalf of the 20,000 children who died in Gaza.”
Statement from Spanish broadcaster RTVE
RTVE has announced Spain’s withdrawal from the Eurovision Song Contest following the votes held today in Geneva at the 95th EBU General Assembly, which resulted in Israel remaining in the European music competition. The RTVE Board of Directors agreed last September that Spain would withdraw from Eurovision if Israel participated.
The withdrawal from the Festival also means that RTVE will not broadcast the Eurovision 2026 final , which will be held in Vienna (Austria) on May 16, nor the previous semi-finals of the contest, which will take place on the 12th and 14th.
RTVE, along with seven other countries, has formally requested a secret ballot at the Assembly. The EBU presidency has denied RTVE’s request for a specific vote on Israel’s participation. This decision increases RTVE’s distrust of the festival’s organization and confirms the political pressure surrounding it.
In his address to the General Assembly prior to the vote, RTVE Secretary General Alfonso Morales explained that the Corporation “recognizes and values” the measures adopted by the EBU and the Reference Group to defend the core principles and values of the Eurovision Song Contest. “However, we consider these measures insufficient ,” he stated.
“We would like to express our serious doubts about the participation of Israeli broadcaster KAN in Eurovision 2026. The situation in Gaza, despite the ceasefire and the approval of the peace process, and Israel’s use of the contest for political purposes, make it increasingly difficult to maintain Eurovision as a neutral cultural event ,” he remarked.
The head of the Corporation also expressed concern about the manipulation of the vote in recent editions and the lack of sanctions in this regard. “We shouldn’t accept double standards. Neutrality and transparency are a shared objective to guarantee a truthful result that respects the audience and the citizens,” he stated.
For this reason, RTVE has demanded a secret ballot for all votes scheduled today in the General Assembly, both planned and unplanned, in relation to the Eurovision Song Contest.
It has also requested a vote on the possible temporary suspension of KAN’s participation for a minimum period of one year , with the option of a subsequent review at the end of this period, and has indicated that if it is not approved, RTVE will not be able to participate in this edition.
He emphasized that the leadership of the EBU and Eurovision “is causing one of the greatest internal tensions in the organization’s history .” “We firmly believe that this situation should never have been allowed to develop,” he stressed.
The Secretary General of RTVE added that the issue of sanctions against Israel for its continued non-compliance with the Eurovision Song Contest rules should have been addressed at an executive level and not by bringing the conflict to the Assembly, in order to avoid the tense situation between the different members.
Finally, Alfonso Morales pointed out that RTVE maintains this position “out of respect and deep concern for the complicated situation we find ourselves in and with the hope that we will be able to move forward and remain united in the EBU.”

Any chance we can kick out Serbia for sitting on two chairs and participating in Intervision?
Iceland added. I guess the big 5 has a new meaning now. Spain is still part of them though
Iceland has STOOD UP! Congratulations Iceland and Icelanders.
Let’s support them and the artists from all the other courageous boycotting countries by supporting their artists on streaming services.
And there goes Iceland!
Iceland announces they are out.
Well done Iceland ! Just pulled out and at least another 5 to go imo
Quite correct. Another 5 change their mind (maybe 6), and the contest instantly becomes a ONE-DAY event! The fiasco that follows will be absolutely impossible to sugarcoat, and the EBU will have only themselves to blame.
Thank you Iceland for taking the stance what is right for this competition .
If there is one word that the EBU can be described with, it’s “Ignorance”
I can’t wait to see more countries leaving esc .. people seems bothersome all over Europe.. .
So many hateful comments. Anyone who comes in and reads here would think this is the majority. But the reality is undoubtedly different.
Eurovision voters reflect the general population, not just Eurovision fans and certainly not just the commenters on this site. Please understand — you are the minority. A minority with a false sense of being the majority. But still, a minority.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Poll after poll shows that the general public isn’t overly enthusiastic about Israel’s participation either. Of course there’s people with a different opinion, and they’re a very dedicated voting bloc getting Israel these huge televote results, but that’s not indicative of the mood among the public at large.
The voters who bragged about not watching the contest but still giving the maximum points to a song that didn’t chart anywhere? What an odd thing to believe.
I agree. Whole issue with hating everything about Israel is just a trend.
MOST people want to have Eurovision. Want to have fun. Want to listen to some music. Whant to cheer up for their favs. And a minority…. those booers and haters (who don’t get the idea of a SONG contest that was created with sense, passion and has been developed long before most of them were born) they can stay at home. No problem for me. Less fun for them.
So that Italian broadcaster’s board was just full of sh*t, as they voted to keep Israel. Lmao, hypocrites. First they say they’d be against and then this happens.
FYI, they were only 3 counsellors from the left parties and Five Star Movement, not the majority of the board. RAI is under influence and control of the italian government. President and general director have been selected by this quasi-fascist government. And Israel delivers weapons and intelligence/security software not only to Italy but to other countries (Germany, etc). Here you are the picture.
Looks like Martin Osterdahl won’t be the last Martin we boo off the executive board.
What a total mess this once beautiful contest is
The article misses the crucial point – what exact question was pit to the vote. And it was:
“Are you for these measures and do not want decisions to be made about the participation of individual countries, or are you against these measures and want decisions to be made about the participation of individual countries?”
So, by putting these two questions into one (one technical and one political) EBU clearly showed what the desired outcome of the vote was. So yes, EBU is very much to blame for this outcome, not individual broadcasters only.
What a mess, thank you Israel for destroing a once so beautiful contest.
Ok Are all the Countries listed as withdrawing because of Israel’s participation in Eurovision going to now withdraw from other competitions that Israel competes in? For example Football World Cup, European Cup, Olympic Games World Athletics just to name a few high profile competitions? No! Or i see Eurovision was just an easy target then. It must be very dizzy up there taking the moral high ground.
You do realise that there are stark differences between Eurovision and let’s say, the sporting events you’re comparing it to. Israel cannot use the Football World Cup or Athletics as a method of currying favour. They cannot man1pulat3 those results to skew them in their favour. They can’t easily use that platform to sow their prOpa9anda. None of the events mentioned allow them the same platform that Eurovision does to man1pulat3 the masses. This is why they won’t let eurovision go. They can’t do that at a football match or an international athletics competition. The ESC is about stories, experiences,… Read more »
So next time Israel is drawn into the same group of one of the currently mentioned 4 will they refuse to play against them and therefore forfeit the game and the points due to the war. They all mention the conflict as their main criteria for withdrawing!

This will be the easiest boycott I’ve ever taken part in — and that says a lot, considering I used to be obsessed with Eurovision. But the truth is, the EBU has completely ruined the contest. Their actions and behavior over the past few years have made it impossible for me to enjoy it anymore.
Says a lot about the EBU if the most devoted fans are alienated and choose to boycott (you and myself included if something extraordinary doesn’t occur). Hope rational people will be able to return to the contest someday!
EBU alienating eurofans (me included) reminds me a lot of FMF doing the same with football in Mexico
Will a boycott entail not paying attention to the contest at all this year and not commenting on this site as well?
Hopefully, as this so-called “devoted fans” like to mess and spread negativity precisely when the contest maintains its inclusive and peaceful spirit, including the stuff above which you wisely reacted to. Let’s hope.
You also supported the blatant voting manipulation because eit was done by a certain country and the bullying of contestants in 2024 I remember
The EBU doesn’t own Wiwibloggs, and we have every right to express our opinions on any matter. As for Eurovision — no, I won’t be watching, nor will I spend a single cent on televotes that support the EBU.
Poland decided to make reassess its participation. On Monday TVP may announce to join the boycott
It’s very very very unlikely that they will withdraw over Israel but would be very welcome if they did.
They are not. Poland is staying. Sorry to disappoint you.
I just saw somewhere that Poland confirmed participation. Not surprised, but still disappointed.
the only decent decision for all of us is BOYCOTT!
I praise the rational, non-partisan, non-political approach to this correct decision. I do believe these ‘managers’ in the broadcasters have gone with their emotions and possibly(?) their own motives. and not upheld their professional responsibilities, sorry. Just my opinion. And as for the blameless, innocent citizens of Israel who have had absolutely ZERO part to play in world events, from my perspective, you are welcome, appreciated and deserve to be entertained with the rest of Europe for one night in unison with everyone else. You are welcome. As for the countries that have, ironically, poitically stormed out of an apolitical… Read more »
As someone wrote there is a huge disconnect between the EBU representatives and how the public feel. Polls in the UK indicate 69% to 82% believe the BBC should not take part if Israel is present. There are similar results in the Nordic countries.
But there is another disconnect in how the publics voted for Israel last year, including the publics in these countries that are withdrawing.
If the last two competitions were fair and square, the runner up in the results would also have radio play and be up there on the charts. Their campaign was to make sure they got votes from people who don’t care about the competition. They voted for politics. A credit card could also make you a voter, and that is also something that could affect the votes as well as the 20 vote limit. If the results were fair, then there wouldn’t need to be rule changes. They pinpoint what this certain country did when they high jacked the contest.… Read more »
We all know that Israel organized those votes by government sponsored and organized campaigns, calling upon people all over the world who support Israel to vote multiple times for Israel in Eurovision.
I am Spanish and I feel very sad and ashamed of our government and the people in charge currently of the public broadcasting company RTVE. They are acting in a political and disappointing way. Honestly, I felt that there were much more reasons to withdraw in 2023 after Chanel was robbed of a victory because of the sympathy televote towards Ukraine, rather than now pushing Eurovision to disqualify Israel just because our current government is deeply anti-semite and left/communist. Israel should stay at Eurovision, as well Ukraine was allowed to stay, Azerbaijan, Armenia and other countries with conflicts. In addition;… Read more »
Simple question then: if the televote was genuine, why isn’t the song anywhere in your charts???
You gave Israel the highest televote because that vote was rigged love
Well, without those sympathy votes, the UK would have won, not Chanel.
There’s currently a petition for UK to withdraw going around its at nearly 25k signatures so clearly the public want BBC to withdraw how they listen before it’s too late
I see they exist, though I only see a few hundred signatures on each so far.
Even if it had millions of signatures, the government will say it’s the BBC’s decision, and they’d be right. We went through this already back in 2013 when a petition to the government was rejected on those grounds.
Lithuania should withdraw as well, after performing 2 years in a row after Israel is not fun, past 2 years people in the arenas were booing Israel and it was not fun to perform for the country that has nothing to do with genocide shame on EBU and LRT. Maybe if more countries withdrawn they would reconsider this nonsense…
You’ve all made your choices. Now you’ll have to live with the consequences.
Eurovision’s Leadership Chose Control Over Democracy The European Broadcasting Union’s handling of the debate over Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2026 should trouble anyone who cares about transparency in major cultural institutions. The controversy that erupted this week is not only about the outcome itself. It is about how that outcome was engineered. Broadcasters expected a direct, unambiguous vote on whether Israel should be allowed to compete. Instead, they were presented with a procedural puzzle designed to ensure that such a vote would never actually happen. The EBU tied the Israel decision to an entirely separate vote on revising the contest’s… Read more »
I hope people wil be boycotting eurovision. Thanks Israel for destroying the contest.
Have TVE (Spain), AVROTROS (Netherlands), RTÉ (Ireland) and RTVSLO (Slovenia) criticised Azerbaijan for what they did in Armenia? Have they asked for it to be kicked out of Eurovision? This is daylight hypocrisy. Are the fans are happy to go along with this hypocrisy.
Have you criticised Israel or do you know do whataboutery when Israel is being criticised?
Dont be here preaching hypocrisy when you are very much guilty of it yourself.
if they won’t even kick out israel with everything they’ve done, there’s absolutely no hope they’d ever punish azerbaijan lmao
Amazing how many are acting surprised.
We knew damn well this would be the end result.
Respect to all who showed integrity.
This is what the Portuguese national finalist Marquise said about their decision to boycott Israel:“We hope this year’s Festival will promote diversity, give visibility to Portugal’s music and encourage those who work for it.We also clarify that our participation does not imply any commitment or involvement in Eurovision.Our participation in the Festival will not be complicit with the genocide of the Palestinian people.”
I hope more national final acts of participitating countries follow suit.
Sadly it is possible that everyone in Festival da Canção could say no to Eurovision, which would effectively mean Portugal would send a shorter version of John Cage 4’ 33’’ to the contest
So, even if a vote on ISR participation went ahead the majority would’ve voted to keep them anyway. Why are people moaning at the EBU and not countries’ individual delegations and broadcasters?
There has never been a voting on its participation. There was only a voting on cosmetic rule changes which most rational people would agree with. It was a sneaky dismissive PR tactic.
People are so hate filled they become angry when others dont share their hate.
So incredibly sad. Our beloved annual event is falling apart. I predict viewing numbers will tank and the trust will be tarnished for good. I disagree though that Israel is being punished for politicising the contest because Netanyahu supported their entry via his social media. If all of presidents and PMs have done it, we would have a contest on a larger scale, hence more exciting. But this won’t happen any time soon after a bunch of loyal countries withdrew.
I don’t think that more countries will withdraw. The nordics, Iceland included, won’t have the courage to do so. Salvador Sobral want Portugal to not participate but i don’t see this happening.
in a lot of cases there is a disconnect between what the governments/broadcasters of countries want and what the people want. a few years ago the top three artists in vibir all refused to go to eurovision forcing Ukraine to drop out, we may still see similar pressure next year from artists. Albeit now with financial penalties for withdrawing late.
How wrong you were. Iceland out. Who to follow?
Austria must decide now !
Will they continue and damage this more !-
as we all seen EBU broke the rulls –
competition can’t be named Eurovision in 2026
if Austria go ahead they must contact with Spanish and Dutch broadcasters to make sure –
Eurovision is still the brand for this competition- not EBU
I think we will have the same number of participants this year as last.
3 in so far, 4 out.
Canada and Kazakhstan both at the door waiting to be let in. So depending on how Iceland responds actually 2026 could have 1 more than 2025 did
I was hoping the BBC would withdraw.
I’ve decided to not follow the contest during this season for the first time in many years. I’ll check back for 2027.
Bbc supported Israel in the vote. Even i was surprised (pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless)
I’m still going to follow Benidorm Fest!
The more I think about the terrible decision handed down by EBU, the more FUBAR that decision becomes. Today I am thinking about the acts that want to go to Eurovision. They are in an awful position of having to decide whether they will participate or not. Most entering the national contests are unknown to known only in their country (mainly). What should be a chance to fulfill their dreams of introducing themselves and their music to a multi-national audience has now turned into a nightmare. If they participate, they aren’t going to being doing interviews about how they got… Read more »
I want everyone understand the principles of Eurovision was made back 70 years!
“European Unity: To bring countries together after WWII through a fun, non-political cultural event, fostering a sense of shared European identity.”
EBU in this generation broke that rulle
It’s not anymore Eurovision- it’s money making show – so after 2 founding nations pull out Netherlands and Spain- next years competition should be rebranded-
To keep legacy of true Eurovision!!!
One founding nation. Spain didn’t join until 1961, five years after the first contest.
exactly, it was supposed to heal after a horrible period of war, not actively allow aggressive states to use it as a propaganda tool
Who would even want to participate.. there will always be a smell of genocide when you participate this year
There’s a smell of antisemitism from the jury every year, but antisemite can’t smell his own stench. However- there is lots of love from the people of Europe, the true music and culture people who won’t brong politics to the eurovision. Join them, have some love in your heart and your life will be better.
A lot of drama in this discussion – but i think it should be said clearly that this discussion is even not about supporting or not supporting Israel, it’s even not about situation in Gaza. It’s about misbehaviour and systematic breach of Eurovision rules by Israeli KAN delegation – manipulating the voting, huge governmental campaign supporting their rekresentatives (which is not allowed), political songs and very rude behaviour of Israeli Delegation (like mocking other delegations – Joost Klein, Baby Thing etc) as well as Completely unacceptable calls of Israeli commentators not to vote for certain countries! Not mentioning about the… Read more »
Blaming Jews and the only Jewish state in the world (the only democratic state in the whole Middle East) is surely antisemitism.
Can’t post it here it check out Martin Rowson’s cartoon in The Guardian today. Netanyahu holding the Israeli flag over the smouldering remains of Eurovision…
Yeah I saw it.
I think we need to start an emotional support group for the Eurovision fan base.
The Guardian is a far-left, ultra woke publication.
You say that like it’s a bad thing… or true…
According to a growing number of reports from various Eurovision fan sites and Broadcasters’ social media accounts, Monaco is set to announce its return by December 10th.
COME ON ICELAND, withdraw on Wednesday!
NO they have to send Hatari
And UK should send Kneecap with Bambie Thug
If you know kneecap at all, you would know that they would NEVER represent the UK.
LOL THIS
Why UK…?
no, i hope they participate
Who takes the bet? I bet all the Money I will clearly NOT spend voting this year on.. Monday. On Monday they change their mind and Israel withdraws… Israel coming makes the bad buzz.. If Enough money to compensate the Spanish (and others) bills, then you’ll see Israel. If not =on Monday they have Israel withdraw. Nothing but account balance.
What was the word again they said allowing continued Russian participation would bring at the time of banning…. Oh yes that’s it “bring the contest into disrepute” – well Israel has done just that if not great disrepute.
Didn’t the televoters from both the Netherlands and Spain both give Israel 12 points in May?
I guess the incessant advertising paid off
Rigging the vote. Read the independent EBU report.
The EBU didn’t find that Israel broke the existing rules (which will be modified for 2026). What was possibly jeopardized by the advertising campaigns and diaspora voting is the spirit of Eurovision. However, it applies as well to jury members ignoring Israel for political reasons (some of whom openly admitted doing it).
it might not have technically been against the rules at the time, but it definitely wasn’t in the spirit of the competition, and was definitely used as a propaganda tool by the Israeli government as evidence of support for the country and their actions.
Again scapegoating and blaming Jewish people and their only state. Nothing new under the sun!
do you see any other country resorting to Israel’s hideous tactics apart from maybe Azerbaijan 15 years ago?
Give me a break.
The televoters or the bots paid for by the Israeli government? At a rate of 20 votes per bot …. ?
Good day for Eurovision, the countries that mostly politicised the contest these past years are the ones that will spare us their talentless and miserable presence. I am sure though that they will come back crawling sooner or better.
There’s no reason to crawl or beg, we haven’t been ejected against our will, it’s called taking a stand, saying our presence in ESC is miserable is only childish.
and just like that, you made me ashamed to be portuguese, pqp.
Far better entries presented from the departing countries in recent years than the crybaby artwashing entries from Israel that didn’t make a dent commercially but somehow “won” televotes.
In this case Spain has taught a lesson to Nordics countries. I am Italian and shameful RAI has not done the same as RTVE.
Good that Italy doesn’t have a communist leader who is in power due to the Catalan separatists like that Sanchez crying baby
The “commie” made Spain the fastest growing advanced economy in the world for second year in a row. Something your beloved conservative “nationalists” never could.
But I don’t think any possibile winner would like to be involved in ESC26.
The Spanish TV representatives are hypocrites. I don’t see them condemning other genocides.
A correct, brave and wise decision was made!
All the hypocritical whiners who were the first to demand that their national governments act forcefully to protect them from hordes of terrorists if they were to attack them and their homes are now only punishing real Eurovision fans in their own countries by preventing them from a participating in a colorful celebration show of Europe and all neighboring regions.
real Eurovision fans don’t want their countries to participate darling, precisely because of what the contest has become thanks to Israel, and to a lesser extent Ukraine.
Who are you to tell?
read through the comments in this post and you’ll get the gist (if you wake up and smell the coffee)
oh well we still have the UK and Germany the 2 biggest funders
And we send such great music too! Mae, Olly, Remember … (no, forgot their name), James Nilman – bet the EBU will be happy to see us sending the cream of our talent again.
When they banned Joost Klein & Russia, they took a hardline decision.
But it is a different rule for Israel, in the words of pro-Palestinian Rachel Zegler
Russia attacked Ukraine unprovoked. Gaza attacked Israel (with HAMAS having an overwhelming support of the Gazan population), took Israeli toddlers as hostages, and the question is only about the proportionality of Israel’s response. How can you compare Russia to Israel? BTW, Ukraine supports Israel’s participation.
Israel killed tens of thousands innocent civilians as retaliation for a terrorist attack. They should only have gone after the terrorists, not commit genocide and destroy Gaza. They are very comparable to the Russians!
BTW @Konst, half us Israel IS Ukrainian …duhhh
Absolutely correct, all this shame talk of Israel yet they were attacked first and were defending themselves this is what happens unfortunately in war.The Gazan population were seen abusing the hostages too, don’t see much criticism here for the perpetrators of all this Hamas who cowardly hid amongst the population, not much care for their own people.
i’m sick of seeing this argument as though it was completely unprovoked because prior to 7 october palestine/gaza and israel lived in peace and harmony.
Yah because Moroccanoil isn’t a dutch or russian company. The netherlands and russia don’t spend billions of euros buying weapons from european countries. Anyone who thinks it’s not political is blind to the corruption.
