Celebrities Denounce Proposed Boycott of Eurovision in Israel
(Guardian-UK) Laura Snapes - Public figures including Stephen Fry, Sharon Osbourne, Marina Abramovic and pop mogul Scooter Braun have signed a letter speaking out against a proposed boycott of this year's Eurovision song contest, to be held in Tel Aviv in May. Their letter states: "We believe the cultural boycott movement is an affront to both Palestinians and Israelis who are working to advance peace through compromise, exchange, and mutual recognition. While we all may have differing opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the best path to peace, we all agree that a cultural boycott is not the answer."
