@geomannie Complaint to the BBC. Alt text too short, so first paragraph here; I understand the BBC has backed the decision to allow Israel to compete in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. It is unclear how this position matches the BBC’s Object, Mission and Public Purposes.

In 2022, Russia was banned from competing in the Contest and the BBC did not express a public view on the situation that I am aware of. Now in 2025 the BBC is reported as outright supporting opposition to a similar matter in relation to Israel. It is unclear how these differing approaches, in what appear to be similar factual situations, accord with the BBC's mission to remain impartial. It certainly looks like bias in favour of Israel. This stated position does not serve all audiences and will actively distance and upset significant numbers of us. I hope this is made clear from this correspondence. Finally, there does not appear to me to be any public interest in the BBC playing an active part in this matter. The BBC taking an active position simply undermines the legitimacy, reputation, and percieved quality of the BBCs output. The BBC should remain impartial and not be seen to be suppotive of a country accused of committing war crimes by the International Criminal Court.

In view of the atrocities that have been, and are still being, carried out against the people of Gaza, the BBC must disassociate itself from the event. My view is that the BBC and the UK should withdraw from the competition to ensure we are not tacitly supporting extrajudicial killings of innocent adults and children. At the very least, the BBC should have remained impartial and not expressed a view at all, in line with it's Mission and Public Purpose.

@Lazarou Except that’s not what this is about. I expect this crap from Reform, but from the Greens - disappointing.
