Question: What’s red and white and features a star inside a circle?

Answer: The sporting uniform of North Korean athletes. They have competed in 11 Olympics and brought home 63 medals so far – including six at the most recent Summer Games in Paris in 2024 – and amazingly, no pseudo-progressive meltdown or boycott went down.

With all due respect to Marshal Kim Jong Un, however, Iran has the edge in podium appearances – boasting a total of 88 Olympic medals to date, including 12 earned in Paris.

So it seems all is fair in international competition.

Except for Little Bad Israel taking part in Eurovision. That’s a red line for humanitarians.

The dustup over Israel’s participation is infuriating for its hypocrisy, its slanderousness, its moral inversion. The boycotters’ self-sacrificing stance is as genuine as a Pallywood newsreel.

But is staying in the contest worth it? Do we really........
