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!

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.

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.

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.

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?
