“Interesting” is a perspective. Something that one might find interesting, another finds absolutely boring. As a post author, I do find it interesting, since it’s extremely rare that someone gets disqualified from the event. Especially since they refused to do that of Israel who are being investigated by ICC for genocide, yet they booted Netherlands for mere probability of the police investigation.

Unless I missed something major here, I don’t think the Israeli contestant was personally involved in genocide, and certainly as not involved in genocide on the set of the show, whereas the Dutch contestant was allegedly involved in backstage on-set misconduct, so that seems completely reasonable?

No, it isn’t.
