A place for all fans of the Eurovision Song Contest :D
Rules:
- No discrimination. This explicitely includes racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism. Don't be a jerk.
- Please be nice, friendly and welcoming. Criticism and discussions and okay, but don't hate on people for their opinions.
- Relevance to the Eurovision Song Contest. This space is made for the ESC, so all posts should be at least somewhat related to it.
Rules may be added or changed if necessary.

There are talks that Israel is very likely to win
I am telling you guys... if they do, the Eurovision can no longer say it is not political
I won't watch the show this year, partly because of Israel and partly because of how Finland was replaced with Sweden last year.
If they do (I doubt it but they'll do very well) then Eurovision will have to decide whether they can host the competition in a country that has repeatedly broken the international rule of law, shut down press outlets it doesn't like, illegally occupied land from a neighbouring country, and is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of children.
Probably....
The leaked votes from Italy shows that Israel got 40% of the audience votes. So while jury is absolutely bullshit, the issue is that the audience is also very much political.
