Yeah, I think you're right.
Music Eurovision 2024
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
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.

Note: Should the country banned from this sweepstake win the competition, the 2nd place will win the sweepstake.
Next year is our year.
Better on second hearing definitely. Lad can sing too
Somewhere this evening Weaste is approving of Nemo being the winner and showing the dress love.
No they should not, and neither should Russia have got banned, that was a farcical decision.
NW London and Golders Green were on speed dial tonight
You're wrong
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.
Actually the opposite.
Allowing the yanks to vote was a mistake.
Will Switzerland throw a good show? Feel like they’re pretty strait laced but maybe a preconception?
@HookedOnAPhelan … 52 weeks to go. Seems a long time but remember, that girl will be 18 then.

I heard an argument about why they shouldn't. And it was quite compelling at the time. But I forgot it tbh.
Didn’t he break trophy? It looked so
I think each individual broadcaster shows theirs (they have to I think?)
Here's the Norwegian one:
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.
Very true
Erm.... On a Saturday? I doubt the Hassidic community are breaking the Sabbath for that.
No, this was done by the white, older conservative voters who view Israel as a white, European state standing up to the savage threat of Islam.
Waited 4 hours to see Uk get feck all public votes
You're in the minority here with that opinion.
UK televote gave 12 points to Israel. feck this horrible little island.
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.
Based on what exactly?
Should a supposedly apolitical competition allow a country actively engaged in a genocide participate? If so, why?
Nemo was easily the most talented out there and I usually like when the best guy wins
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.
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:
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.
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.
He's got weird opinions.
Absolute rubbish, it was the right thing to do.
Absolute ignorance.
That’s good enough for me!
From the videos posted I liked the Armenian song a lot more than Swiss, Croatia or France.
This was my problem with the boycott. I felt it was counter-productive for the very reason that Israel would get more votes.
They clearly didn't count my vote. Rigged.
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.
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.
It's exactly what Russia has been doing to it own peoples (sans the invasion).
It's soul destroying.
And then this whole mentality of "Russians are our enemy" shit that the new military leadership has instilled everywhere, it's actually horrible. We've completely ignored the human factor of this. Ukrainians living abroad are getting encouragement to "fight the Russians everywhere"
This is not good, it's not moral and we're sinking to their level.
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.
You'll see the reaction is for them to claim support now, which I think proves they shouldn't have participated. This isn't banning random sports people, a public vote is far too easily misused for platforming.
