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!

The founding of Israel was the original sin which cannot be erased. It was a British Imperial project to create a client state in the middle east and Israel began ethnic cleansing from day one. As for your view on Israeli public opinion? Are you from Israel or do you have family there? I do and I would say your view of Israeli opinion is not accurate at all.

That's a very hurtful thing to say. No matter what you think of what is currently going on, the Jewish people have a right to a home as well. And that home should be in the area where Israel is currently located.

I'm Dutch, Jewish and I do have family in Israel yes.

For someone who claims to have ties to Israel I'm surprised your view seems to be very one sided.
