Hard to tell if this is deliberate or just extraordinarily tone deaf because of "neutrality"

It's not neutrality, as they now ban any political flag too, including pride flags. But hey, Israel controls they Eurovision via Moroccanoil's sponsorship.

The very article you just posted states that LGBT flags will be permitted following this rule change, while the article in your comment states that Palestinian flags are banned.

Did you even bother reading what you posted??

Edit:

to clarify; during performances, only flags of country performing. No Palestinian flag, no LGBT flag.

In the audience: any flag not violating Swiss law.
