Eurovision 2024 winner Nemo to return trophy in protest of Israel

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : After the win, Nemo told the BBC about the challenges they faced during the contest and their feeling that organisers didn't do enough to support participants who were caught up in the row over Israel's inclusion in 2024.
46% : In a statement posted to Instagram on Thursday, Nemo said they felt the European Broadcasting Union's (EBU) decision to allow Israel to still take part in the event no longer aligned with its core values.
38% : Five countries - Iceland, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands - have announced they will boycott next year's event because Israel has been allowed to compete.
34% : "Israel's continued participation, during what the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry has concluded to be a genocide, shows a clear conflict between those ideals and the decision made by the EBU," they said, referring to a report released in September.
32% : Israel has previously called the decision to keep it in the contest a "victory" over critics who had tried to silence it and spread hatred.
