Interestingly the jury vote for Israel doubled compared to last year from 60 to 123, the televote went down from 297 to 220. In the televote this year only 6 countries gave 12 points to Israel, last year it was 13 countries.
The booing was extreme during Israel's performance in the first semi-final, you could hear some people chanting "stop the war and genocide" or something like that for almost the entire performance, the booing during the final was tame in comparison.
