Far-Left MP Zarah Sultana demands full UK Eurovision boycott after Israel reaches Saturday’s grand final Zarah Sultana Labour MP for Coventry South and co-founder of Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party immediately posted “Boycott Eurovision” on X after Noam Bettan qualified from Tuesday’s semi-final. She repeated her December demand, insisting the UK must follow Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Iceland and refuse “business as usual” with Israel, which she called a “genocidal apartheid state.” Israel’s entrant performed “Michelle” amid loud boos and anti-Israel chants from parts of the Vienna crowd. Sultana’s call comes as the EBU insists the contest remains strictly apolitical and after last year’s runner-up finish for Israel’s Yuval Raphael. Boy George, who performed for San Marino, hit back: “It’s pretty black and white for me – I’ve been friends with Jewish people since I was 16. I’m not going to turn on my friends over something like this.”
