Bambie Thug: I stand with anyone boycotting the Eurovision

There have been calls by the public and other Irish artists for Bambie Thug not to travel to Malmö, Sweden next month as a form of protest against Israel's inclusion.

Ireland's entry in this year's Eurovision is standing by their decision to participate in the competition despite calls for a boycott.

This year's contest has been mired in controversy since the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has allowed Israel to participate despite the ongoing violence in Palestine.
