Israel won't be getting any votes from me. I also don't think they should be taking part. Not considered what's going on.

So disrespect to other singers/nations and now violence

if only Israel didn't take part, we wouldn't have this drama, but that self centered Eden Golan woman only thinking about her own fame, very disrespectful, if anything of disrespect, not thinking about people dying in her country but thinking about her career and EBU are guilty thinking about MoroccanOil sponsor money above anything else

Nicky you were all with Isreal yesterday and were telling victims to ****** off. Pick a side!

song wise it is a good song, but they shouldn't have taken part


i gave them a 9.0 last night, for the song


but not that i approve of their participation, i myself don't bring politics into giving scores, i judge the songs in a fair and square way

[Nicky91]

Netherlands and Greece we stand united against the nasty beloved EBU pet Israel, all for the sake of MoroccanOil


how much bribe money are Israel paying EBU then with that sponsor deal, 7 million or 8 million?

I'm thinking my votes will likely go to Croatia and Estonia.
My mind may change on the night .

Oh gosh, I was just hoping for a good contest and enjoying the songs.

I know the voting is often political or based on reputations of Countries.
The contest itself shouldn't be overshadowed by this controversy.

I may yet even bring in Ireland for votes.
I love Ireland the Country and theirs is so different to the others .

I'll judge them again on the night because my mind has changed before in past Eurovisions.
Just hope the clouds of controversial issues get cleared away.

I guess major events now like Eurovision will be targets for protests, demonstrations and tensions which is just really bad in my view.

Not anymore

They are now out of tonight

[Crimson Dynamo]

Croatia and Israel for me

the 2 best songs

[joeysteele]

The whole organisers of the ESC must be panicking.

Because should Israel win this and there's been all this controversy because of Israel competing.
Which honestly to me is ridiculous there should be any controversy about Israel competing.
They've full rights to do so.

However were they to win, how the organisers will feel at the prospect of the contest in Israel next year.
With the prospect of the conflict still going on for some time possibly.
How many Nations would go to Israel.

It will be rigged so that Israel wont win

I hate to say it but that thought crossed my mind too.

I think it’s the other way around. They haven’t given Israel any warning about mocking the NL singers dead parents or trying to start fights with other countries and mocking the other countries in a TikTok video but others have been told off for many things they have done to the Israel singers crew. It should be a two way system

Go on x and see the clips that’s been posted. They show to be filming joost when he asked them not to do it. It’s very rude

Absolutely, they’re doing everything in their power to protect the Israeli delegation, very clear favouritism going on, suppression of press and expression ‘united by music’ unless you stand against mass murder, then you can shut up and deal with it face consequences

[Oliver_W]

I hope Israel does win just to piss protesters off tbh.

And no, I haven't heard a single song from this year's Eurovision, not even ours

[Vanessa]

Croatia has a nice pimp slot.

[joeysteele]

What a mess for this contest this year.
All this at this late stage too.

Yes, it's all getting too political. It's meant to be a fun night.
