I feel it would be 200+ points at most. There is a significant number of countries that recognise Palestine and there is a sizeable number of people that support Palestine.

QUOTE(Crown_The_Witch. @ 11th May 2024, 12:16 PM)  I think the same, if Israel win, Eurovision is doomed next year as I couldn't see beyond 10 countries entering. And regardless of the outcome I think this year will certainly damage the contest - maybe not in viewing figures etc but certainly artists thinking twice if it’s the right career choice, the online hatred is louder each year against participants. Olly’s recent insta story about tonight he almost looks sad, it’s as if he’s like WTF have I become wrapped up in. |

This year needed to be a last year to stop Israel winning in that a clear runaway, if the betting is any way on track Croatia, Switzerland and Ireland are some of main contenders with all 3 so dufferent that will get votes from very different audiences and due to such a split it leaves to easier for Israel to win.
I'm still hoping that voters see sense and don't crown Israel the winner. |

I didn't actually WANT to boycott but I find this extremely depressing and embarrassing, thinking of watching the performances but then when it's fully Dark I'll grab my headtorch and go look for the aurora which I missed last night!

There is a significant number of countries that recognise Palestine and there is a sizeable number of people that support Palestine. But it will be Israel vs. others, Israel doesn't need majority to get 12 pts from each country, quite the opposite, they just need bunch of coordinated people who vote for them. |

The Italian televote leak worries me in that was it the same from other countries that Israels televote was so high.
Maybe I'm totally naive but I'd be very surprised if Israel pick up much televotes from Ireland which I know counts for little as Ireland for a while now have been very anti Israel and very vocal about it. |

There is a significant number of countries that recognise Palestine and there is a sizeable number of people that support Palestine. I agree, I just can’t see it. Again to compare to Ukraine, they actually had a contemporary song that stood out and would have done well anyway, and then people were more sympathetic in a widespread way for Ukraine. Obviously that makes no difference in some ways as you can’t vote negatively, but I don’t think it will be the case that every country will vote as the Italy leak did. Italy is a horrendously racist country and very right wing so it’s not a huge surprise that they would go for Italy. I think she will do decent on the jury but not a massive score, and probably win the televote, an absolute lock for top 3 anyway. I think that could equate a win as I’m not sure Rim Tim Tagi Dim will exactly lap up the jury, but I don’t think it will be a 400+ televote landslide for Israel. I do think Europapa not being in contention will help Rim Tim Tagi Dim, as much as it’s under such a dark cloud. |

I missed last years and never got round to watching it. A shame as I used to love Eurovision. Definitely not watching this years after they've disqualified the Dutch contestant for no good reason.

I think it's good news in terms of less splitting the vote. Croatia or Israel are winning it's as simple as that

I have a friend in the dress rehearsal now who says (unsurprisingly) that the atmosphere is weird. I just hope it doesn’t get to the point where people going tonight will be worried about their safety.

I'm hoping Ireland or Ukraine can squeak it if not Croatia. (Which I stll think could be a false flag fave like Kaarija last year)
Also hoping nobody protest-interrupts Israels performance because that will only help their televote in sympathy. |
