RTÉ airs Father Ted episode instead of Eurovision final protesting Israel's participation

Ireland's national broadcaster RTÉ will air a 1996 Father Ted episode instead of the Eurovision final this week, protesting Israel's participation in the Austria-hosted contest. The satirical episode features characters performing "My Lovely Horse" and receiving zero points. Show creator Graham Linehan condemned the decision as "antisemitic harassment," demanding the broadcaster's director-general resign.
