Has RTÉ Crossed The Line With Eurovision Boycott? Episode 729

Ireland decided last year to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest because of Israel’s participation. RTÉ has also decided not to broadcast the hugely popular song contest.
A petition has now been set up by Graham Linehan, co-creator of Father Ted, demanding that RTÉ apologise and that the Director General resign over the decision. Linehan claims this is antisemitism and says RTÉ should not be getting involved in politics. Is he right?
Others agree with RTÉ and say Ireland should stand up against what it believes is wrong.
Where do you stand on this decision?
Are RTÉ overstepping the mark, or are they right to take a stand?
