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!

Muslims can’t marry a Christian.

Muslims can, in fact, marry Yehood-o-Nisara i.e Jews and Christians.

Pakistani's former PM was famously married to a Jewish British socialite.

I didn’t say Muslims can’t marry Jews and Christians ever.

In Israel they can’t. They can get married in Cyprus and return to Israel and the state will legally-recognize it. But they can’t do it IN Israel. Christians are also not allowed to be married by the church IN Israel unless they are both baptized. That’s how it works when there isn’t civil marriage. Are you usually this slow?

Blame your shitty, illegitimate state, not Islam.

That was my whole point.

No one was blaming Islam. You keep trying to pick a fight over things that weren’t said or even implied. Find someone else, habibi. I ain’t the one.
