Thank fuck it wasn't Israel

Based on Wiki it received the most 12 points from the viewers (12-13 countries). If it was not for the Jury they would come 1st place. I bet they spend a lot of money for this propaganda.

Doesn't help that it's easy to do extra voting and Israel is known for cyber operations.

Considering that it's an sms system is probably extremely easy for them to spoof in some extra vites with a small million euros to tip it in their favor when it comes to the audience vote.

It's not like there's transparency in the voting system, either. You could just change FinalScores.txt and bam, 2nd place for this year's whinging power ballad.
