Sooooooo he defended himself and that was a huge red flag for the EBU?????

 

Anyone who's gotten in deep trouble for defending themselves know this all too well

There may still be a part of the story missing of course, but EBU has refused to give any information whatsoever, so for now we only have the AVROTROS statement to go on and that one tells the story of something that can barely even be called an incident.

 

DQ for that is utterly ridiculous.

Right, a few more details. AVROTROS offered several things to avoid a DQ, including Joost publicly apologizing, a talk between all parties involved (refused outright by the camera woman) and a joint statement with EBU. A small incident but even apologizing for that wasn't accepted.

🇺🇦🇮🇱 Ukraine has included Israeli singer Eden Golan on the "Peacemaker" list, which includes individuals considered enemies of Ukraine. The Israeli singer has lived in Russia and has also visited Crimea.

I'm sure we'll get a clearer picture of what happened in the coming weeks, but this is just sad regardless
