Guardianistas and Eurovision

Someone over on lefty whinge-rag the Guardian we have an impassioned plea for the removal of Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest. Why? Because this year's entry is sung by a six year old clad in bacofoil? Becuase the world has never quite forgiven them for "I wanna be a polar bear"? Nope...

Last year, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, which determines who represents Israel, ruled that Israel Defense Forces service was a condition for performer eligibility:

Cue much hand wringing and anti-Israeli bile from the pinkos, plus the predictable ignorance of "They shouldn't be in it anyway, they are not in Europe" (hint to thickies: European Broadcast Union != European Union, Algeria and Egypt could enter if they liked.)

Go read it all.

And I'll be blogging the main event live on Saturday :-)
