    Funny how Russia got banned pretty much immediately for way less and on top of that Ukraine’s garbage song ended up winning out of pity. Eurovision has always been a sham and I refuse to watch it.

    Despite disagreeing with the position of the EBU, which sought to disqualify the two songs [“October Rain” and “Dance Forever”] submitted by Israel to the Contest on the grounds that they “carry a political character”, KAN adopted the advice of the country’s president, Yitzhak Herzog, who turned to the our Board of Directors and asked to make the necessary adjustments, which would allow Israel to compete on the Eurovision stage. The President of the country emphasized that precisely at a time when our haters seek to push and boycott the State of Israel from every platform – Israel must raise its voice and hold head high and raise its flag in every world forum, especially this year.

    Ffs did nazi Germany perform at Eurovision too during the Holocaust

    Sad. Loved watching it but not this year I guess 🤷 (yes I’m aware they participated previously)

      I’ll watch but probably won’t vote for any of the songs out of protest.

        Still having a debate with my gf to watch it or not. Maybe watch it but skip Israel’s part or something.

          If you’re going to watch it, watch a way that isn’t tracked by Eurovision. Their viewership should have a dip. (Also if you find a good untracked pirate stream, please share…)

            Yup, don’t watch on YouTube. This goes for the songs as well. Don’t stream them from the official Eurovision account

          Everybody boycots in their own way. I’ve stopped interacting with Eurovision on social media unless it’s to criticize it.
