    Sorry, you can’t keep politics aside when Israel is competing.

    I hope they get nul points though.

    The biggest problem of racist libs pretending they are just following rules is that they can’t claim they are just separating politics from the event. Because they broke all those rules to ban Russia.

    I just watched Israel’s entry, ‘Hurricaine’ by Eden Golan. I realize this is a low bar for Eurovision, but wow is that a shit song.

    The video has some hilarious dancing though. I don’t think it was supposed to be funny, but it’s definitely funny.

    If you must: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJYn09tuPw4 (It’s Eurovision’s YouTube channel if you’re worried about generating revenue for an Israeli company.)

    Edit: Croatia has a song named Rim Tim Tagi Dim by a guy who goes by Baby Lasagna and it’s really funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTBrVNZtnys

      Did the dancers not get to hear the bpm of the song they were dancing to? And then ballet… What an overproduced collage of disaster.

      Worrying about what Muslims might do while Israel is committing a genocide sounds like somewhat misplaced priorities.

          I don’t “have” to worry about such things because I don’t bother worrying about things that haven’t happened and that I have no evidence will happen.

          “There are lots of extremists here” doesn’t mean “one of them is going to bomb Eurovision.”

        No, we need to be able to keep two thoughts in our heads at the same time or we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Terror and oppression is terrible regardless of what the purpetrator and the victim are called.
