No shade, but some of you are acting like he got up there and sang the Russian national anthem. This is a really famous song and a majority of people don’t know all the stuff about t.A.T.u. Like let’s chill ✌️✌️
@ESCVoyage But she had no problem participating in eurovision that promotes and encourages Israel's actions in Palestine and morality matters only when it's her homeland
🇮🇪 News: RTÉ Director-General Kevin Bakhurst says there is “no reason at the moment” to reverse RTÉ’s decision to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest.
Speaking on RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland, Bakhurst said "For us as a public service broadcaster, who believes in the importance of protecting journalists and believes in human rights, there's no reason at the moment to change our decision."
He did add that RTÉ will “review it in the coming months.” #Eurovision
I love Eurovision weekend but I've not watched a single minute this year because somethings matter a lot more. Fuck Israel, FREE PALESTINE.
The fact the competition would rather destroy itself than eject a cheating, genocidal, participant is insanely telling.
States committing genocide must not be welcome at Eurovision.
Russia and Belarus were rightly excluded after the invasion of Ukraine. But the atrocities inflicted against Palestinians are ignored.
Licence fee payers shouldn’t have to fund Israel's pinkwashing propaganda.
Sorry I don’t chime in nowadays but I need to point out how hilarious it is that RTP refused to withdraw despite all the calls to, two (2) artists in FdC saying they’d go to esc, one of them winning, and ending Portugal’s qualification streak. Karma served on a silver platter
During Eurovision tonight, I will be posting raising awareness of the situations in Palestine and Lebanon, including links to donate to related causes. 🇵🇸 🇱🇧
I would encourage others to do similar, or donate if you’re able, particularly around the time of Israel’s performance.
It feels so weird to not give a fuck about eurovision. For my entire life I loved this week so much. But i genuinely feel nothing now. No excitement, no hype, no joy. That genocidal state took something that brought us so much joy and connection and completely ruined it.
News 🇮🇪: RTÉ has confirmed it never received a full breakdown of the 2025 voting information from the EBU and its voting partner after requesting the data.
The broadcaster told RTÉ News it “had not received such a breakdown.”
RTÉ alongside several other broadcasters raised concerns about the voting system following the 2025 contest.

With numbers like these, any longshot recovery for Eurovision likely now doesn't just involve the removal of *that* country, but also the resignation of all senior figures within the EBU that saw these a year ago and deemed it at all acceptable.
