Polish singer Justyna Steczkowska, who twice represented Poland at Eurovision (1995 and 2025), sparked a new scandal around Israel at the contest. On Instagram, she promoted the book "The Palestine Laboratory" by Jewish-Australian author Antony Loewenstein, which won the Walkley Prize. The book claims that Israel uses its control over Judea, Samaria, and Gaza to develop and test weapons on Palestinians. Steczkowska urged her followers to read the book to "open their eyes." Previously, she stated she would not return to Eurovision as long as Israel participates. The article presents this as a new "attack" on Israel, using emotionally charged language in the headline, but the body maintains a neutral retelling of events.
