    Public figures denounce calls to boycott Eurovision in Israel

    Public figures including entertainers Stephen Fry and Marina Avramovic, media personality Sharon Osbourne and promoter Scooter Braun are among more than 100 people who have signed a letter by the Creative Community for Peace, speaking out against calls for a boycott of next month's Eurovision song contest because it is being held in Tel Aviv.

    The letter states “While we all may have differing opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the best path to peace, we all agree that a cultural boycott is not the answer.”
