Iceland shall get a ban from the next Eurovision Song Contest.

Reason

Anti-Semitism or Criticism towards Israel - that does not matter here! "This contest is not political and does not want to be.", so says the media all over Europe. "There is only love!", stated the Cypriot representative of this year. But what we have found in the night of Saturday May 18th, 2019 during the Grand Final was the complete opposite. While jury-points were announced the already dubious representatives from Iceland have risen the Palestine flag right in the heart of the Israeli capital Tel-Aviv, Two huge no gos: on the one hand they have pulled political matters into the contest and on the other hand that is not the way you behave as guest in a country that has serious issues with Palestine. No surprise this act has been honored with a huge "BOO!" on place (and certainly in front of the TV at home). The ban shall be a lecture in many ways for Iceland in future participation.

Thank you for your support
