My wife floated the idea of a watch party for this but nobody wanted to come because they’re all boycotting it due to Israel being allowed in. I understand Eurovision’s angle that they’re not political but surely genocide should be recognised.
I’m going to tune in to watch Israel as the broadcaster’s said they won’t block the booing. I expect it’ll get blocked in Israel though.
Israel might even win actually, since they’re still allowed to vote up to 10 times and everyone’s boycotting it. That’ll be a fucking nightmare for Eurovision.
They got through the semis, which I was surprised about. The song was better than some in that batch, but my favourite (Estonia) failed to make it through.
I keep seeing reports that they might boot Israel into Eurovision Asia. I have mixed feelings about that. Whilst they are technically off the European continent, they are more European than the list of countries competing in the first Eurovision Asia, and I'm not sure the participants of that will be keen on them either. You also then have to kick out or justify the inclusion of Azerbaijan etc, who have (as far as I know) done no wrong.
Hopefully they won't win. If they do I suspect they won't be allowed to host due to ongoing war. Will anyone want to host for them if that happens? Maybe the EBU will conveniently find evidence of vote manipulation and nullify the win (if they do, hopefully for everybody's sake they will find it before they announce the results) - they've already given them a formal warning about this. As you say; fucking nightmare.
