The organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest have said that the abuse and harassment of contestants over Israel’s inclusion is “unacceptable and totally unfair”.

Ireland’s entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest, Bambie Thug, has been told to have the courage of their convictions and boycott the event in protest over the inclusion of Israel.
