@cassioolivveira And be left without a final that millions would be watching #catchyourselfon

@WTA @PIF_en Does that mean if sabalenka doesn't defend the US open then she loses number 1

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@rolandgarros Arguably her run to the final was more impressive than Noskova's

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@EurovisionNewZ @ynet She chose to take part knowing full well how the general public felt. You can't have your cake and eat it

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@nicolelampert Is that your way of saying the settlements are acceptable?

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@sharrond62 It wasn't a lack of evidence. They said they reviewed all the evidence, and it didn't meet the threshold for a prosecution.

@MarkWilson1980 Why are people even engaging with this, he only posted it to get a reaction

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@Chemieunfall What a ridiculous thing to say. The fact you're trying to tie a terrorist attack with eurovision is simply insane.

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@1rorycowan Australia hasn’t been vocally critical of Israel yet has seen antisemitic attacks; Ireland has been far more critical and hasn’t. Antisemitism exists independently of Israel criticism, and opposing a state’s actions is not the same as hostility toward a people.

@estherzelda0514 Tell me you don't follow eurovision without telling me you dont follow eurovision

@PeaceIsExpensiv @nicolelampert Enoch Burke is a domestic employment court case and has nothing to do with Israel or eurovision.

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@PeaceIsExpensiv @nicolelampert Hamas is a terrorist organisation, not a culture. Ending violence means protecting civilians on all sides, not treating an entire population as something to be rooted out. Criticising tactics isn't propaganda. It's how accountability works.

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@PeaceIsExpensiv @nicolelampert Insults and hypotheticals about 'turning places to glass' aren't an argument. Criticising state actions isn't excusing violence - it's trying to stop more of it

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@JDane241476 @nicolelampert That's fine - but moral arguments don't become irrelevant just because they come from smaller countries

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@john_galt_il @nicolelampert Ireland criticises Israeli state actions through international law, the same way it criticises other governments. That's not the same as being lectured about your own identity by a former colonial power.

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@JDane241476 @nicolelampert Pointing out historical context isn't obsession - it's awareness. You don't have to care about Irish history, but dismissing it doesn't make it irrelevant

[Brian Madden @brianmadden2306]

@righty63 @nicolelampert I think they announced in September they would withdraw if Israel weren't excluded. So it's likely they held off on submissions until they knew what was happening. They could have also been doing an internal selection.

@HenMazzig She didn't write the song, it was written before she was even chosen as the singer.

@nicolelampert @TheSun In 2024, Luxembourg was represented by a jew of Israeli descent - why wasn't there uproar about that if jews are hated so much
