The big are the big five because if the financial power they put into it and the UK is known to spend millions on it

It's hard to believe that people still watch this sh!te in this day and age. It was sh!te when it was in it's prime in the 70s and 80s

I read an interesting article this morning... One in twenty people in the UK, that's about three million people, do not believe the Holocaust happened. And 8% think it did happen, but it has been over-exaggerated. Couple this with the fact that Jews are the most abused minority in the UK per head of capita. Any of these cultural icons got anything to say about that, I wonder...? I predict their answer, along with a lot of other people, would be... yeah, but... Israel.

Oh God, no I didn't. I'd forgotten about it until right now. Do I recall Rachel Weiss is in it?

Yeah it's really good. Bizarre though, I actually never knew people tried to say it never happened/was not that bad until I watched that movie :skull:

I wouldn't strip Israel of Eurovision but I think it's fair to criticise them having it. Israel does tend to get a free pass when it comes to the west and the outlook presented often favours Israel although they have done terrible things.

they won eurovision fair and square last year, so they have the rights of hosting it this year

the other times when israel hosted eurovision in 1979 and 1999 UK did participate without complaining, this goes for all the other countries who complained they participated without any complaints towards israel in those contests which were held in Jerusalem, and this one is further away from the warzone, more so Tel Aviv is popular for tourists every year

I hope they do as Netta robbed the Greek goddess Eleni of her rightful win
