Paul Oscar is a supporter of boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 on the grounds it 's being held in Israel . Speaking of the issue on Icelandic radio station Rás 1 on 5th of February he made remarks about Jewish people infiltrating European countries and thus making it hard for them to condemn Israeli policies : “ The reason why the rest of Europe has been virtually silent is that Jews have woven themselves into the fabric of Europe in a very sly way for a very long time . It is not at all hip and cool to be pro-Palestine in Britain , ” he said , saying at the interview ’s conclusion : “ The tragedy is that Jews learned nothing from the Holocaust . Instead , they have taken up the exact same policy of their worst enemy . ” He later apologized and retracted his statement . “ I made judgements and generalisations about Jewish people . … I take full responsibility for these words , take back my remarks about Jewish people , they are wrong and hurtful . I will take responsibility in actions , from this point forward , and will never again speak ill of the Jewish people , wherever in the world they may live . ”
