@aral Yup, correct. Also not forget Turkey (carrying out genocide), Russia (same), and Palestine (started genocide, governing party even has genocide in their founding charter).

@aral "Historic fan of genocide" pisses me off a little

@aral

You forgot Austria, Germany, but worse

@aral Ireland is still trying to make up for WW2, good for them.

@aral all 5 are taking part at the Winter Olympics (competing directly against Israel in some events).

Wonder how these deal breaker decisions are made.

@aral I’m not sure NL deserves to be on the good side of the list. While the regular broadcaster decided not to do ESF this year, which is why we don’t have a participant, another broadcaster decided “millions of people” can’t be robbed of their fun, and ESF should be broadcasted live regardless of our particpation.

@aral You left out Hungary (it left Eurovision a while ago anyway for being too progressive for the right-wing government)

However, it belongs on an entirely separate ladder anyway, for inviting wanted war criminal Netanyahu not once but now twice

@aral Never Forget. NEVER FORGIVE
