"please don't be mean to contestants from countries that are committing Genocide"

Shouldn't she have been disqualified if her submission broke the rules. That would have been an easy out for the organisers. Now it will be a flash point. Probably a good thing to have some public shows of support for Palestine. However, given people, I don't doubt that there will also be antisemitism on display, not just criticism of Israel. Israel will use that to justify it's stance internally. However, it's clearly genocide and they should be ashamed.

This is the final Eurovision I'll ever watch. It's quite sad to see its community get so toxic.
