“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.

“Celebrated musicians including Massive Attack, Kneecap, Brian Eno, Sigur Rós, Nadine Shah, and many more have signed an open letter calling for a boycott of the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel’s participation.”
CORROBORATED
Three independent web search results explicitly name Massive Attack, Kneecap, Brian Eno, Sigur Rós, and Nadine Shah as signatories of an open letter calling for a boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel's participation. This is further supported by the Wikipedia entry for 'No Music for Genocide'.
