Unironically even if you can’t/don’t want to actually socialise yet, just being outside and around other people is better than nothing. It lets you feel like a real person, like you’re part of the world.

This is a pretty common take in Eurovision discussion boards atm.
EBU doesn’t want the controversy of taking a stance on the I/P conflict, but most Eurovision fans are pro-Palestine and a lot are threatening to boycott if Israel does compete. And KAN (which is in charge of Israel’s entry) obv doesn’t want the humiliation of a guaranteed last place and potential harassment/security issues for the musician they send. Giving Israel the boot over the song (which, if you read the lyrics, is actually pretty subtle on what it’s referencing) is a win-win for everyone involved.
