When Israel’s contestant in the Eurovision appeared on stage in Vienna on Tuesday night, a lone voice shouted ‘stop, stop the genocide.’ The Israeli contestant kept singing and nothing stopped.

On Free State today we look at why the Eurovision became a key part of Israel’s propaganda war.

We examine the money that was spent ensuring Israel’s entries got votes and we ask why. 

We also look at some of the less notable Irish entries over the years and Joe tries out his own power ballad.
