If Ireland and Spain are so "moral" by boycotting Eurovision, why don't they quit EVERY entity that Israel is a member of?

Ireland, Spain, and Slovenia are boycotting Eurovision because Israel is a participant. They believe that Israel is guilty of the most heinous crimes and their participation amounts to normalizing genocide.

But if that's the case, why stop at a meaningless song contest? They should - no, they must - boycott every organization in which Israel holds membership.

Israel competes in FIBA EuroBasket. So do Ireland and Spain. Israel plays in the Davis Cup alongside other European nations. Israel competes at the Chess Olympiad, where Israeli players regularly contend for top honors. Israel participates in the Olympics under the IOC, which — like the EBU — has considered the question and kept Israel in.

Then there is UEFA. Both Ireland and Spain are members. So is Israel. If they find it morally repugnant to share a stage with Israel at a singing competition, all the more so to share a pitch with Israeli clubs and national teams. By that standard, every Champions League broadcast, every Nations League fixture, every World Cup qualifying match involving a UEFA member is equally complicit. The should do the moral thing and quit UEFA. Otherwise, by their logic, they are baby killers.

But why stop at sports? Political organizations are, by the boycotters' own logic, far more directly implicated in Israel's supposed crimes. Ireland and Spain claim Israel deliberately targets hospitals — yet both remain members of the WHO, which has not expelled Israel and continues to treat it as a normal member state. The International Monetary Fund might do some important work, but nothing is more important than making a statement in support of "Palestine." Boycott the World Bank!

And then there is the UN itself. Israel has been a member for over 75 years. How can Spain and Ireland and Slovenia sit in the same General Assembly while there is a Zionist in the room? Don't they have any morals whatsoever? If they are principled then they must conclude that remaining in the UN is the equivalent as murdering babies and using their blood for matzah.

Oh, sorry, I jumped the gun on their planned accusations against Israel in 2028.
