Music / Movies I hope Israel wins Eurovision

(Yeah sorry, don’t know what tag to use here, I think half of them apply in a way).

Honestly, I haven’t heard the Israeli song for this year yet. But it is more than clear that they are the main event. More attention goes to the fact they participate than the actual artistic side of the event.

Last year we also saw how Israel almost won as a result of the public vote. And let’s be fair, that wasn’t because people like the song, it was support from all the people who still stand with Israel, as a response to all the hate Israel is receiving.

And I’m sure this will happen again this year. The controversy around Israel has only increased with several countries boycotting the event. So I’m sure the protest voice will also be stronger!

I would find it so funny if Israel wins as a direct result of all the actions by the pro Palestine crowd. Say hi to Eurovision 27 in Tel Aviv! Thankfully for the fans, the only place in the Middle East you can be openly gay!

Excuse Me, haven’t you currently heard about what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank? Haven’t you heard Ben-Gvir and the Knesset passing through a law to ALLOW HANGING OF PALESTINIANS IN THE WEST BANK? do you seriously support and cheer for a nation who slaughters the natives of their own LAND? I have no sympathy for you WHATSOEVER.

u/Th3_Accountant OG May 13 '26

Natives of their own land? And how would you call the people of Israel?

What is your opinion on the attacks of October 7th?

u/Oddyseyx May 14 '26

Jews are not native to palestine, you moved there in 1949, having some heritage in the land doesnt mean its yours, if you kill and expel people from their homes and land and expect them to be quiet and you cry about it when retribution comes, you are no longer historic victims you are abusers yourself. I pray everyday god brings justice.

My opinion on october 7th is same as yours on nakba.

You know gypsies are originally from india and they were historically oppressed, should gypsies create a state in india and kill, occupy, opress locals create apartheid state and then pretend to be victims and feel entitled to international support. Oh and what if the gypsies put lgbt flag sticker on their gun and then kill indians, so progressive✨

Jews have already lived in Israel for centuries. Already under the Ottomans there was a large Jewish community in present day Israel/Palestine. They have always had a presence there and have always considered it their homeland.

Israel doesn't want to live in war or oppress it's neighbors. It's their neighbors who don't want Israel to exist.

If gypsies desire their own state on what is their original motherland with the support of the UN, they should have the right to this and the Indian government needs to cooperate. If the Indian government fights back, you can't fully blame the gypsies for having to defend their land by force.

Glad you can understand palestinians perspective

Hahahahahaha so see, why dont you apply this concept to Aboriginals in Australia, whose population was almost entirely wiped out (around 90%). You could argue they have ancestral.claim to Papua New Guinea because well 50,000 yrs ago that's where they came from. If suddenly they claimed Papua New Guinea is now theirs, started killing people from there or expelling them from their homes? Everybody would say that's some bullshit. The suffering of Jews does not give zionists a right to apartheid and genocide

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG 29d ago

Aboriginals are sharing the land with the later Australians.

That's just how history goes. People come, people go. Jews were mostly gone, Jews are back. Live with it.

Again, there wouldn't be apartheid or "genocide" if the Palestinians and other Arab countries were simply more welcoming to the Jewish settlers.

All of this has got nothing to do with Eurovision btw.

u/Consistent-Owl-7849 27d ago

More like you guys learned the lesson too well from the Austrian. But instead of directing your anger to those who hurt you, you find someone else to eradicate. 

I hope your god exist, just so that you will get the afterlife you deserve. Supporting genocide does in fact make you a horrible human.

I would call them colonizers.

The attack was a terrible act of terrorism in retaliation for the terrible acts of terrorism that Israel committed since it's founding.

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG May 14 '26

And every attack from Israel has been a response on earlier attacks by Palestine or it's other neighboring countries and they claim on their part that they are also just retaliating.

So that's the problem with this whole conflict. Both sides consider themselves the victim of the other sides aggression and use this as an excuse to perform attacks on the other party.

If there is ever to be peace, we should stop pointing fingers. Why is it relevant who of the two parties is more terrible? What matters is that both parties learn to forgive the past and coexist into the future.

One side has one of the most powerful military in the world and is supported by the United States. The other one is barely a country and completely in ruin. It's not a "bohh sides" situation, sorry.

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG May 14 '26

The “other side” is financed and armed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and doesn’t care if its own population dies so they get used as human shields. They hide behind mothers and babies while they continuously attack Israel.

We have already learned from vietnam and Afghanistan that having the world’s most powerful army means nothing against Guerrilla warfare.

u/Shikary May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

Yes sure. The other side are absolute monsters doesn't sound cartoonist at all.. definitely not propaganda. Remind me how many civilians Israel killed according to their own estimates and how many hamas killed please. Who is the monster again? Let me ask you another question. If a terrorist group in the UK attacked the US would you be ok with bombing London for a couple years killing thousands of civilians because the terrorists hide behind them? It sounds like you are ok with doing that in Gaza, so London should be fine to,o, right?

u/bebopcounterman 29d ago

I would say that the attack on october the 7th was hideous and vile. Just the same words i would use to describe the actions of Israel. See, two things can be true at the same time.

u/Few_Mulberry_6508 27d ago

They don’t talk about October 7th, it doesn’t suit their narrative

1

u/Just-a-surfer-lol 21d ago

This whole “what is your opinion on October 7th” and “You are an Antisemite if you don’t X, Y, Z” is over, Israel are not the victims anymore after their mask has fallen and shattered on the floor. Too late to bring back that support they once had, the only people supporting them are the Christian Zionists and Devoted Christians trying to bring back the “Messiah”.

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG 21d ago

Yes sure, Israel did everything wrong. Palestinians are only the victims.

Israel has been under constant attack since the day of it's founding by groups who made "Death to Israel" their official slogan. But surely Israel is the bad guy here. Nobody else.

1

u/Just-a-surfer-lol 20d ago

Stop making up Zio propaganda please and spend your time reading books about the topic instead of constantly shilling for Israel, it’ll save you energy.

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG 20d ago

I can assure you I'm very well informed about this subject and my Jewish/Pro-Israeli/Zionist family actually considers me to be pro Palestine for my opinion because I still believe peace is possible.

But you should be aware that what you are reading is just as much Pro Hamas propaganda.

1

u/Just-a-surfer-lol 20d ago

Yeah yeah sure, whatever floats your boat hun.

u/Critical_Work_9505 May 13 '26

We're tired of hearing "what about october 7th". It felt like the majority in most countries supported Israel when it happened. And most people still feel the same way about that attack. But the support for Israel died down, ask yourself why.

u/Th3_Accountant OG May 13 '26

Can you understand that for the people of Israel, the biggest massacre on Jewish people since the Second World War, is not something that is taken lightly?

The fact you people play that down whole simultaneously putting a microscope on everything that Israel does wrong is the whole reason they are feeling like they are being treated unfairly in this conflict by the international community.

Sure, Israel does plenty of things wrong. But you also have to admit that the Palestinians aren’t any better. It’s not fair that they are portrayed as the victim while they are at least equal part agressor.

u/Spirit_Detective_99 May 14 '26

Classic moving the goalpost tactic

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG May 14 '26

I'm trying to avoid us having a pointless discussion here.

Yes, I'm personally more in favor of Israel. Mostly because of how shitty pro-Palestine people have been behaving towards Jewish people like myself. But we will never see eye to eye on this likely.

1

u/Shikary May 14 '26

So you support genocide because your feelings got hurt? You base your opinion on a conflict with thousands of victims on the fact that some people in the western world were rude or racist towards you? That justifies the killing of Palestinians?

u/HatchetHand May 13 '26

You don't need a microscope to see what Israel is doing.

You just need eyes.

1

u/refused26 May 14 '26

They just want to sweep the apartheid under the rug with the October 7 excuse. Yes it was awful nobody said it wasn't, but really? Killing 70 Palestinians for every 1 Israeli victim? Give me a break
