May 10, 2024May 10 Author btw y'all should spend all your votes (if you can) to IRELAND!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: #CROWNTHEWITCH
May 10, 2024May 10 CROWN THE WITCH!!! This might end up being very political. I am seeing more and more people saying online, vote Ireland. She supports Palestine and will protest if she wins. Then others in same comment secrions are saying no, vote Israel. This might just be online noise on a few youtune videos though, rather than a sign of big political votes for both? Also, where isSan Marino!?!?
May 10, 2024May 10 Switzerland for the win! Seems mad to me that Sweden are performing first As SVT is the host, they had to draw Sweden's position at random.
May 10, 2024May 10 I have no idea how accurate this all is bc I'm reading it through ATRL and Twitter but Joost apparently hasn't shown up to rehearsals and the EBU have said they're investigating an incident :thinking: @1788921052401217561 also Italy have put out a statement saying the leaked televote was 'incomplete' [link], but that could just be them saving face? This is all so messy and I just hope this doesn't all lead to an Israel win because that will be the end of my interest in this whole contest tbh.
May 10, 2024May 10 Author Joost did show up in the flag parade but he deleted everything Eurovision-related.
May 10, 2024May 10 I really don't think Israel should be competing, with an active controbersial war going on. Gaza was walled off and nor considered psrt of Isrsel, so to enter it is invading. Russia got banned for its invasion too. It's impossible to separate politics from the song when it's something like this.
May 10, 2024May 10 I think the best thing is not to vote at all and provide income to the Eurovision coffers when Israel will win anyway. When twitter is full of posts like Yesterday I hated the ultra woke political Eurovision Song Contest but today I'm advising you to vote against the UK entry who hates 🇬🇧 and show support to Israel 🇮🇱 who's entry was subject to a racist hate mob. then why play their game? There's no way that they won't win. It will be akin to a ghastly white supremacy event (I mean EBU happy enough to expel when the victims are white but not when Arab) with the genocidal state crowned in glory. :puke2: Eurovision should have thrown them out but have decided not to and so best to boycott. I'm personally not boycotting the show on TV as it coincides with a gathering of people not seen for ages but def won't be voting. Spend the money instead giving to Palestinian aid charities.
May 10, 2024May 10 I was plannong on voting for Ireland tbh. The witch is pro Palestine too, so it is telling the EBU we aren't happy with s vountry embroiled in an invasion being alloeed to perform. It's mesnt to be a song, not political, contest.
May 10, 2024May 10 It just baffles me honestly. If Russia had been allowed to participate in 2022, would they have garnered the same mass support that Israel is unfathomably getting? Of course you would have the odd contrarians who would have supported them but I highly doubt to anywhere near the degree that we’re seeing with Israel. But naturally, to us ‘Western’ countries, Russia is the big bad guy and Israel is our (puppet) friend.

Over the years countries have been penalised due to their involvement in wars (it’s happened to the UK) yet now it seems Europe is applauding it? Go to war/invade another country and win Eurovision? Don’t think I can stomach seeing Israel party and parading around if they win and I’ve watched the show since I was 10.
May 10, 2024May 10 I know the Eurovision has always been politicized but I miss the days when it wasn't politicized to the point it overshadows the music and the joy of the event. I'll always be excited about it but I'm not gonna lie, there's a rain cloud over tomorrow night for me and that's such a massive shame.
May 10, 2024May 10 To kick Russia out and not Israel is crazy hypocrisy at least Russia is actually in Europe, so you have to blame the cowardice of the organisers for the mess. Both should be treated the same
May 10, 2024May 10 A win for Israel is just bad all round and will do Eurovision no favours. I really hope Israel dont win as its sends out a very wrong message.
May 11, 2024May 11 Ugh Israel has an amazing slot. I can't believe it's in contention to win, I thought the world was against them right now or at least ashamed of them! Unfortunately Ukraine, my winner pick, is going to struggle from #2. Ireland has a good slot but can they actually pick up momentum so late? It should do well with juries though for the technical difficulty.
May 11, 2024May 11 @1789017563814342728 And we should believe that Israel getting 12 points from every country will be legit? Sure Jan Edited May 11, 2024May 11 by Sour Candy
