Cutting off their nose to spite their face. [IsraelTimes] The Rio Cinema in London has canceled what Variety magazine says is the city’s "biggest screening party" for next month’s Eurovision Song Contest, in protest of Israel being allowed to take part in the competition."We firmly believe that the Eurovision Song Conest has the power to bring people together across the world, and when its core values of inclusivity, equality and universality are upheld, it can be a genuine force for good," the venue writes in a post on X, formerly Twitter. It also notes that it will continue working with pro-Paleostinian nonprofits. Earlier this month, Eurovision organizers approved Israel’s revised song entry for this year’s contest after it disqualified an earlier version, securing the country’s spot in the competition amid a wave of boycott calls.
