They banned Russia for war crimes but not Israel. Nothing about what they ban is consistent or makes sense unless their goal is appealing to right wing fascism.

Tbf the only reason they banned the Russian broadcasters was because a big number of other EBU members were threatening with boycott if Russians were allowed to compete. Which didnt happen with Israel, where only a handful of members wanted to see them banned.

And it's pretty easy to see why it is illogical - because you have 56+ broadcasters on the deciding table, between which key personnel can change regularly.

kinda like how they go after kneecap for criticizing a country more than they do actually arresting a war criminal
