šŸ’Ø Abstract

After winning the Eurovision Song Contest, JJ (Johannes Pietsch) called for Israel's removal from the competition due to its actions in Gaza. Israel's representative, Yuval Raphael, finished second. JJ criticized the ban on Pride flags and plans to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. Protests against Israel's participation occurred, with some demonstrators attempting to disrupt the show. Spanish broadcaster RTVE was fined for displaying a pro-Palestine message.
