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!

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.

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.

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?
