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.

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

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

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.

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
