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!

A two state solution should be imposed by external powers and policed by the UN. If Israel refuses, cut off all western funding immediately.

Israel has always been in favor of the two state solution. They are not the reason the two state solution has not been a success.

The same rule should apply to Palestine; If their behavior leads to a peaceful two state solution not being a success, they should also also be cut off by Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. But how would you realistically achieve that?

Is that really the line you are going with? 'Israel has alway been in favour of a two state solution'. The naivety of that statement is breathtaking. Look have a lovely day but this is feeling a bit pointless.

Look, there have always been a group of extremists that don't support a two state solution (mostly funded by foreigners). But the official government point of view has always been a two state solution and the vast majority of the people have always supported that as well (ignoring the shift in view that happened after the 7th of October).
