Eurovision votes have NEVER been that unanimous across the board
I mean Ukraine 2022, just after the war began. 439 points from the public, 192 jury, 631 in total. By comparison Israel this year got “only” 297 points from the public, 60 jury, 357 in total. Last 2 years Israel was also 2nd and 5ft on the public votes. Last year it even had more public points than this year with 323.
This show can be very political on contemporary events.
Note: country residents cannot vote for their own country. I think this is to prevent more populated countries from winning each time. Maybe Israel have some advantage in this system since we cannot vote against. If Palestine had a candidate, the Ukraine scenario was possible. But since it has no representation, vote “against” Israel are just dilutes all over.
Israel literally bought ads globally to advise people on how to vote for their entry in the finale.
Not a random marketing company or the artists label or even their public broadcasting company. The actual country.
Shady as fuuuuuuck
What really? First time I’m seeing this.
