Musician Billy Bragg and journalist Josh Kaplan debate proposed Israeli Eurovision ban

The organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest are to vote next month on whether Israel can take part in the event.

Singer-songwriter Billy Bragg has been an outspoken critic of Israel’s actions in Gaza and has a long history of writing about social issues.

He discusses the proposals with the Jewish Chronicle journalist Josh Kaplan.
