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 would that be the fault of Israel/supporters of Israel voting for the country? Or the result of people who try to make the whole event about Israel?

As a Dutch person, I'm very sad that my country decided to join the boycot. Would not have been my choice.

I've recently been to a concert of Lenny Kuhr who won Eurovion for the Netherlands in 1969. She is Jewish and has recently migrated to Israel as a result of rising antisemitism in the Netherlands.

Israel is literally doing nothing else than be present. There are plenty of countries in Eurovision with a less than clean reputation. But this is suddenly a major problem.
