10:36Now PlayingThreats of boycotts are swirling around the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, with Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Ireland making noises about withdrawing if Israel is allowed to participate due to its actions in Gaza.
Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence show discuss the distinction between boycotts, which are voluntary non-participation, and cancel culture, arguing that boycotts are a legitimate and peaceful form of protest. They note last year’s backlash when Israel’s entry was booed during both rehearsals and performances, predicting Eurovision may eventually drop Israel as participation becomes a liability.
The segment also highlights Israel’s government suspending funding for its own film academy after it awarded a prize to a Palestinian-themed film, underscoring the state’s resistance to any sympathetic portrayal of Palestinians.
