Cynthia Ní Mhurchú’s piece ('Call for a Eurovision boycott distracts from the wonderful achievements of Bambie Thug' — Irish Examiner, May 6) comparing calls for Bambie Thug to boycott Eurovision to Israel’s slaughter of more than 34,000 Palestinians was a simply disgraceful attempt to discredit entirely valid demands.
