the EBU doesn't care that they come off as callous hypocrites. but having individual countries withdraw from the contest? that's not only bad PR, it's also a loss of revenue

even just one country withdrawing as a direct protest against israel's participation is a big hit to the EBU. and there are already several countries i can realistically see withdrawing based on their previous reactions to israel hosting in 2019

also, for countries with a hardline pro-israel stance, pressure might be more effective if it's primarily be directed at the participating artist(s).

is it realistic, for instance, to get the BBC to withdraw from eurovision? no. but the individual artist...? with unrelenting, daily reminders that they're supporting a genocide? maybe.
