Ireland will withdraw from the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if Israel is allowed to take part.

Spain, Iceland and Slovenia have also indicated they may not take part.

Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ, is funded (like the BBC) by a licence fee, payable by everybody owning a television set. And like the BBC, RTÉ is fairly well-stocked with the liberal-left products of Irish academe.

That's where the decision to withdraw comes from. Not from the Irish government (though it's probably in cahoots), and still less from the much despised licence-fee payers of the general public, who fund the greatly exaggerated salaries of this political caucus.

Imagine in the USA, if you were forced to pay a licence fee to fund PBS purely because you owned a television set, and PBS began taking overtly political decisions without troubling to ask your - or the government's - opinion on the matter?

If you see posts on social media praising or celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk or saying others should be murdered as well, capture them and send them to the FBI, Secret Service and DOJ.
Those evil souls should be DOXXed, and their employers notified. Treat them like the libtards have treated the conservatives for the last decade. See how they like being treated the same as they have treated others.
