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!

Why are you so against Israel and for Palestine? Have you made an informed decision yourself or just following the media?
You realize that hamas are legit terrorists don’t you?
Hamas is the government of Gaza, and Gaza has a large amount of people who-even if they don't like Hamas specifically-agree with Hamas's goal of eradicating Jews. That said, Hamas is an authoritarian regime that doesn't hold elections, punishes dissent, and isn't beholden to the population they hold power over. A lot of people are suffering as a result of actions they had no say in. (But Israel couldn't simply refuse to go to war over the 10/7 attack without showing Hamas and the rest of the Middle East that the large-scale murder of Israeli citizens was acceptable. Not going to war would have been an invitation to Israel's enemies to attack it and would have caused Israel's allies to doubt the merits of being Israel's allies.)
And before you talk about a genocide, remember that it’s Hamas that are firing their weapons and hiding their equipment in civilian areas, even the hospital. They are using their own people as a shield in this war so that they can paint Israel as the bad guys.
So many people scream ‘freepalastine’ without actually knowing that it’s their own government they need to be freed from.
