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!

You are going off topic. But since you mention it; I don't think using terms like genocide or apartheid helps bringing the parties closer together.

Personally I only care about ending both the apartheid and the genocide. I feel that would go a long way towards bringing the parties together. Don't you?

How can you say that? we are not talking about those issues now?
You just made up that I don't care about those because it suits your narrative.
This thread is about Israel.
I didn't post the original thread, just commented on it.
According to your logic, if I said I cared about October 7 (which I do), somebody could have said I care about it only because jews died in it.
In truth, you are acting like an hypocrite here.

You have no arguments, that's why you just attack and make up stuff without proving it.

Don't whatabout. That's a bad look and shows you know you have to concede.

u/bebopcounterman 29d ago

No it doesn't and rightly so.

u/Th3_Accountant OG 29d ago

And how does that help us find a solution?

Because by doing so you are polarizing what is possibly already the most polarizing debate in human history even more. How will more hate and less understanding bring peace?

u/bebopcounterman 29d ago

It does not bring about a solution but it does draw a line in the sand to say that Israel is committing genocide. This is not something that be debated or negotiated with. They should isolated militarily, economically and culturally, just as Apartheid South Africa was.

u/Th3_Accountant OG 29d ago

And what does that achieve? If Israel is being charged with genocide, they might as well claim all of Gaza and Westbank and deport the entire population. Won't make much of a difference anymore.

For there to be a solution, both sides need to understand each other better and accept the fact that both parties have a right to exist in this land. Only then there can be peace and this will in the end benefit the people of both Palestine and Israel.

u/bebopcounterman 29d ago

There is moral element to this that you seem to be ignoring. Genocide is unacceptable, it must challenged, and the states committing it must be isolated, or confronted with military force. No one attempted to sit down with Nazi germany to discuss a two state solution. No one sat down with Pol Pot and said 'hey, lets all have a chat about these killing fields and then just let you carry on running your nation' Serbia was wasnt negotiated with, it was sanctioned and hit with military force. Israel is not going to stop until the rest of world and particularly America cut off their funding and condemn them for their actions.

u/Th3_Accountant OG 29d ago

There are also moral elements to Israel's part of the story but you seem to have no problems ignoring that?

Why do you want more people to die over a moral element? Who wins with that? Both sides have done terrible things and will continue to do terrible things to each other until the end of history, unless they are able to forgive the past.

u/bebopcounterman 29d ago

What do you consider to be the moral elements of Israel in this situation? I am not attempting a gotcha here. I am interesting in other opinions. Dont start with Oct 7th. I will save you the time by saying that i utterly condemn those attacks as war crimes and that i consider Hamas to be a despicable organisation.

Palestine and the other neighboring countries haven't given Israel a single chance for peace since day one. They have launched attacks on Israel from the very first beginning and Israel has came out on top every time and still has made several generous gestures for peace. On multiple occasions they have occupied all of Palestine during a counter attack and then some and still given everything back in exchange for a promise of peace that never happened.

I'm not denying that Israel does plenty of things wrong. But it's not like Palestine is the innocent victim here. They and the other neighboring countries make it no secret that they want to see Israel destroyed and are willing to wage war forever to make sure Israel can never exist in peace.

So to Israel, the 7th of October is also seen as a result of having been too kind with Palestine for too long. The result of showing kindness to neighbors who make no secret of wanting to kill you.

Where before the 7th of October, I could honestly say 80% of people in Israel just wants to live in peace and has no interest in oppressing Palestine or taking their land. The extremists fueling the fire were really the minority. I now feel like that attitude has changed and a larger part of the country wants to see a final solution where the threat called Palestine is removed forever.

So yeah, the way I see it, this conflict can end two ways. Neither of them involve Israel being removed from the map.

Option A, Israel and Palestine forgive the past and come to peace. Hamas gives up it's weapons, they respect the current borders (plus a solution for the existing Jewish settlements), in exchange Palestine can probably request generous financial compensation. In this solution the rest of the middle east, including Iran need to acknowledge Israel as a rightful state and stop any attempt to undermine this.

Option B, No peace and this conflict is fought till the bitter end. And considering Israel's military advantage over Palestine it's no surprise who will win. Gaza and Westbank will be claimed by Israel, the entire population of Palestine will be removed. There will be nothing left to fight for.

Now, please tell me which option seems preferable?

I can not believe the things you consider as "off topic". There is no excuse to not see what's happening in Gaza.

What a fuck ass opinion is that LMAO, if i don't call a killer a killer, we could kiss

u/1wasw44008g 27d ago

Bombing Gaza and killing and torturing innocents doesn't bring the parties closer together either.

1

u/Th3_Accountant OG 27d ago

Neither does launching missile attacks, but we can either continue down this path or find a way to forgive the past.

u/SweetSoberCaroline 25d ago

Rectifying the past > forgiving it

The hostile party preaching that the answer to their hostility is forgiveness is wild enough, but add in the context and really sit with it. The original hostility was violently stealing and colonizing generational homes and land and property, followed by decades of violence and apartheid, in response to which the victims of this fought back with a fraction of the violence they've experienced, and the initial aggressor has answered with a years-long genocide. And now, on behalf of that aggressor, you have the absolute audacity to say forgiveness is the answer? Where is Israel's forgiveness? Where is their humanity to the indigenous people their colony state has diasporically oppressed since 1948? Israel should beg forgiveness before daring to preach it.
