Indeed it’s not a 1 to 1 comparison. One country is ordered by the ICJ to stop committing a potential genocide, and the other isn’t.

Edit: added the word β€˜potential’ to more accurately represent the ICJ ruling.

It has been ordered to PREVENT a hypothetical genocie, not to stop "committing a genocide".

Israel has done enough bad shit that you don't need to lie to prove your point

Who is committing the hypothetical genocide?

Russia started a war of aggression so it makes sense they are banned from Eurovision till that has been resolved.

Israel is committing war crimes on a scale that is rare in modern history, so also a good reason to be banned.

And bringing up the oktober 7 attacks kinda sounds hollow after the response from Israel. Hammas killed 1.139 and Israel killed well over 25.000.
