May 12, 20241 yr Many of you have loud voices on here and quit frankly I find some of your posts completely unnecessary. Very pleased to see that Israel received 12 and 10 points from many countries in the public vote and particularly pleased to see them scoring more points than Ireland and Portugal in the public vote. Other people's voices will be heard too. Ultimately though, Switzerland was my favourite track and im glad they won - so deserved and great for the LGBT community.
May 12, 20241 yr There's a clear geographical pattern to the Israeli televote with almost every Western European country giving Israël 12 Not a single Eastern European country gave them a 12. I don't have hard data to back this up but I imagine it's due to Eastern fash still having lingering anti-semitism which is no longer mainstream amongst conservatives here.

Many Eastern European countries recognise Palestine so it's not unusual to see them not giving I*rael 12 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International...te_of_Palestine
May 12, 20241 yr So you are seriously saying that NOT giving Israel a 12 is because of "lingering antisemitism"? Why should they have got one. Need to ask why all Western European countries did give Israel a 12? And I'd say right wing pro Zionist campaigns
May 12, 20241 yr Well at least they won't win, but a depressingly high amount there :/ Did not expect that at all for the UK, gosh :o I did. Song was SHITE!!! Who was gonna vote for it?! MASSIVE step down from Sam Ryder. Sliight improvement on Müller Lite On Talent, who benefited from.a few hosting pity points. But wow. Shame Ireland flopped :( Croatia was betger thsn Switzerland too. I was worrird Israel would win till thr 300 votes, as on my homepage cnn had sa piccture of her up on stage.
May 12, 20241 yr Irrlans not thr first artist song to flop and be paid dust vs shitty beige pop songs on this. Blanca Paloma had the same just one year ago.

I find the genocide of 40,000 Palestinians unnecessary personally :)
May 12, 20241 yr Need to ask why all Western European countries did give Israel a 12? And I'd say right wing pro Zionist campaigns If you actually believe this is the case for all of the people who voted for Israel,that they were influenced by right wing pro zionist campaigns then you truly are an offensive and ignorant person who needs to better educate themselves.
May 12, 20241 yr I find the genocide of 40,000 Palestinians unnecessary personally :) This isn't a political debate I want to get into on here. People are angry, I get it, but more hate isn't going to solve anything.

Umm I'm sure there is an irregularity with 15 countries (inc. RoTW) giving them 12 points with a fairly unremarkable song? :thinking: Last year that nation only received 4 12 points with an arguably stronger song so I don't know why you should start personally attacking people?? :???: There are also numerous tweets I saw today with MASSIVE advertisement all over different corners, even on billboards in NYC. That would surely influence votes?? Right-wing figures are VERY vocal about supporting Israel. Some of them (right-wing parties in France) even openly admitted to voting for Israel tonight.
May 12, 20241 yr If you actually believe this is the case for all of the people who voted for Israel,that they were influenced by right wing pro zionist campaigns then you truly are an offensive and ignorant person who needs to better educate themselves. Try again I didn't say ALL of the votes for Israel were from right wing pro Zionists but if you looked on Twitter there are dozens of figures such as I mentioned and Tommy Robinson himself telling their followers to do EXACTLY that. So there is invariably some correlation. And personal insults won't make a difference. Sorry! I could make aspersions about someone cheering on a country that has slaughtered over 30000 children and broken every International law possible. I certainly don't want your "Education" thank you very much.
May 12, 20241 yr I'm clocking out of this. Apologies for offense. I wish you love, peace and prosperity. X
May 12, 20241 yr I'm clocking out of this. Apologies for offense. I wish you love, peace and prosperity. X Same here. Acknowledge that it is a very sad situation all round with all this division (and looking at Twitter is probably the worse thing to do) and don't want to cause any harm. Take care and all blessings :) x

Most here seem to think everyone should agree with their opinion. Clearly Europe and the silent majority has spoken. Love that they got behind Israel. 15 sets of 12 points from Western Europe and loads of 10’s too. You’d think going by the media we are all pro Palestine and anti-Israel but clearly Israel has so much support and it’s fantastic to see. All these people wanting Israel chucked out and everyone else saying we want them to win. The EBU were clearly Right to let them compete. Wonder when all the calls to boycott the Olympics will start? My guess will be never.
