WATCH: The Vienna Café that Refused to Boycott Israel at Eurovision

The Vienna café that refused to boycott Israel at Eurovision. After most Vienna venues refused to host Israel’s Eurovision delegation, a non-Jewish Austrian couple opened their café as an unofficial Israeli embassy, declaring it a public stand against rising antisemitism in Europe.

As part of a local initiative in Austria, cafés were invited to host different Eurovision delegations. But when it came to Israel’s delegation, no café initially agreed to participate.

That’s when the local Jewish community stepped in — and Lisa and Johannes answered the call.
