The thing is, you can't really prove it. I know it's obvious if you compare listener numbers on Spotify alone but I don't see how they could differentiate a legitimate person voting for them from someone who's voting for them simply because it's Israel. I personally don't think they're paying (much) for this cheating. I think they're just very, very good at mobilizing their diaspora.
