I really hope this works. I wanted to watch it this year in spite of Israel's presence but it became clear on the night that with the vote-rigging and the behind the scenes intimidating of other delegations, Israel see it as a propaganda tool. If another 5 threaten to pull out they won't have the numbers to run the semi-finals and that would have to force the EBU's hand, unfortunately we'll likely end up with some dumb compromise or no contest at all.

Perhaps like the "stateless" Russian delegation for the Olympics back then?
