Yeah, I think you're right.Wasn't there a year when it was a 0 as a score. Think it was full public then

They got a lot of points in all the televotes. You only need a concerted effort by Israel supporters to make it happen. Nobody else is organizing like that to vote for Croatia or Switzerland.It did? There's no fecking way. There's definitely some chicanery at foot. VPNs and botfarms?

Note: Should the country banned from this sweepstake win the competition, the 2nd place will win the sweepstake.
Where do you see this?
Surely not. That’s mental.
Apparently so, showed it on RTEIt did? There's no fecking way. There's definitely some chicanery at foot. VPNs and botfarms?
Better on second hearing definitely. Lad can sing tooIt's a very good song to be fair
Russia got thrown out for their war in Ukraine, while Israel gets to stay in while genociding Gaza.
People are correctly pointing out the hypocrisy of the EBU, and also wishing the genocidal maniac country does poorly.
No they should not, and neither should Russia have got banned, that was a farcical decision.Well they should have been banned like Russia was so there's that.
NW London and Golders Green were on speed dial tonightFeck you, UK. 12 points to Israel.
You're wrongNo they should not, and neither should Russia.
Actually the opposite.No they should not, and neither should Russia.
I heard an argument about why they shouldn't. And it was quite compelling at the time. But I forgot it tbh.Well they should have been banned like Russia was so there's that.
I think each individual broadcaster shows theirs (they have to I think?)Apparently so, showed it on RTE
Yes, Switzerland was a good song, well performed. Croatia should have won, but that's Eurovision. Finland should have won, etc. It is what it is.Not worth getting worked up by it. Imagine what the score would have been had there been a Palestinian participant. At least a proper contestant won.
Very trueNot worth getting worked up by it. Imagine what the score would have been had there been a Palestinian participant. At least a proper contestant won.
Erm.... On a Saturday? I doubt the Hassidic community are breaking the Sabbath for that.NW London and Golders Green were on speed dial tonight
You're in the minority here with that opinion.No they should not, and neither should Russia have got banned, that was a farcical decision.
That's actually hilarious, the Israel lobby is weaker in Norway than we feared. I was about to comment on Sweden getting 10 points, but then I remembered they were literally Norwegians.I think each individual broadcaster shows theirs (they have to I think?)
Here's the Norwegian one:
Massive boycott. People who would usually vote didn't.Ireland televote gave 10 to Israel. How?
Based on what exactly?No they should not, and neither should Russia have got banned, that was a farcical decision.
He might be the only person in here with that opinion. I haven't seen anyone else suggest Russia should be allowed in Eurovision. It's unconscionable.You're in the minority here with that opinion.
Yeah indeed. Same table, different results of course (I only remember Israel with 10 - not sure of any others)I think each individual broadcaster shows theirs (they have to I think?)
Here's the Norwegian one:
You're wrong
Ah yes, the whims of collective punishment due to geopolitics extending all the way to .... song competitions, that the average competitor has no way, shape or form or influencing.Actually the opposite.
He's got weird opinions.He might be the only person in here with that opinion. I haven't seen anyone else suggest Russia should be allowed in Eurovision. It's unconscionable.
Absolute rubbish, it was the right thing to do.No they should not, and neither should Russia have got banned, that was a farcical decision.
Absolute ignorance.The past three months has been very depressing for me culminating with the consulate services ban, especially since i'm starting to doubt if we're any better than the ones we claim are the evil ones.
That’s good enough for me!I heard an argument about why they shouldn't. And it was quite compelling at the time. But I forgot it tbh.
This was my problem with the boycott. I felt it was counter-productive for the very reason that Israel would get more votes.Massive boycott. People who would usually vote didn't.
They clearly didn't count my vote. Rigged.Waited 4 hours to see Uk get feck all public votes
Remember when the Zimbabwean government dismissed their FA leaders for accusations of corruption and sexual abuse, and the entire country was suspended by FIFA? That's what you want to clamp down on, not waging a massive war and threatening to use nuclear weapons every five minutes.Absolute ignorance.
If you understood for just a single second what the Ukrainian government has decided to do to its peoples in the past few months, you wouldn't be saying that.Absolute ignorance.
I don't agree with your opinion but even If I did I'm not sure innocent bystander theory applies. It was a political song before it got changed, the whole campaign was to 'support Israel' and she's talked about joining the IDF.Ah yes, the whims of collective punishment due to geopolitics extending all the way to .... song competitions, that the average competitor has no way, shape or form or influencing.
