Eurovision Host Won't Silence Boos for Israel

The Eurovision Song Contest is a big music competition where countries send singers to perform.

This year, there's a lot of controversy because Israel is participating.

Some countries, like Spain and Ireland, are boycotting the event because they disagree with Israel's actions in Gaza.

The host, Austria, has said they won't stop people from booing or showing the Palestinian flag during Israel's performance.

They want to show things as they are.

The contest will have fewer countries participating this year because of the boycotts.

It's a tricky situation because the event is usually about celebrating music and diversity, but now it's mixed up with politics.
