RTE, Ireland’s national broadcaster, announced on Thursday that Ireland will not take part in next year’s Eurovision song contest if Israel is a contestant, due to its genocide in Gaza. RTE’s statement was welcomed by Irish pro-Palestine campaigners, who have long called for Israel to be excluded from Eurovision. It must be extended to an indefinite General Strike to completely and immediately stop all trade, military, financial and political support for Israel, in Ireland and the rest of the EU. Other countries must also take action to stop the war, and achieve an independent state of Palestine. Forward to workers’ governments to nationalise the economy and banks and to provide the necessities of life for workers in every country.
