00:00I think the UK should compete in it. I mean, I think we are a friend of Israel. You know, music is there to unite people. The original concept of the Eurovision Song Contest was about bringing people together who were previously being at war.
00:15So the other thing that shouldn't happen is confusing the people of Israel with the state of Israel or the government of Israel. And you can disagree with some of the actions the government of Israel has taken in Gaza, of course, without believing the whole state of Israel is to blame for that.
00:34The whole people, every person in Israel is to blame for that. And I think that's currently what you're in danger of doing by countries boycotting this particular contest.
