Are you telling me an international pop contest is just another extension of propaganda?! I don't believe it. Shocked. Gobsmacked.
At least we still have the Olympics.

Its activist propaganda. The ESC is definitely a measure of the worlds support of Israel.
Fake votes for a fake country
Ever since the Italian semifinal vote was leaked this has kind-of been clear. I thought they bought sim cards or something, but I guess it's just the power of targetted advertising to people who probably didn't watch Eurovision Song Contest, and only voted to own the Muslims/Greta Thunberg.
Israel got >50% of Italian votes in the semis, which doesn't make sense because Ukraine only got 25% out of symptathy the year Russia fully invaded.
Israel won the most votes in too many countries compared to song popularity. They won the most public votes in Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Rest of World.
They also won the 2nd most votes in Ireland which doesn't make sense either.
I don't think you have to rig shit in Germany for that to happen, the country just is like that
I had a bot account randomly message me on telegram to ask for my solidarity with israel and vote for them in the esc.
So they definitely tried.
Plenty of the Eurovision songs were in the Spotify top 100 the last few days, the Israeli song was nowhere to be seen.
Can't wait to see Obama's personal playlist for 2024
And they still lost the popular vote to Croatia lol
Plenty of right wing political commentators have been using this as an "Israel right" platform. So this is amusing.
You would think isreal would try to avoid constantly being caught trying to manipulate media to control narratives.
