Claim 1: “Thousands of artists call on fans to boycott Eurovision over Israel”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm a boycott call, they specify the number of artists as '1,000-plus' or 'more than 1,100'. The claim states 'Thousands' (plural), which implies at least 2,000. The evidence provided indicates the number is closer to 1,100, making the term 'thousands' an exaggeration of the actual count reported in the sources.

CORROBORATED
