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

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.

honestly, eurovision now goes to the country with beautiful music, yes i like hebrew songs a lot, such a beautiful language


cultural icons well from these people only vivienne westwood, peter gabriel come to mind as really famous, any of the others i don't really know that well

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
