#Eurovision has been taken over by #Israel

It is not necessary for them to win. It is only necessary for them to be there, get their message across, and play the victim.

@Geri yep. It's always been political but the last two years have just had this massive dark cloud over it and has sucked the fun out of it all. I've missed it but I'm not watching it now.

@Geri I saw your other post about it and just read it. I did hear that they were doing a mass advertising push on YouTube, but didn't know it was the Israeli government behind it.

@Geri @ellieraejaye I hadn’t but I’m not surprised. Hubby ranted about Israel’s propaganda campaigns and turned off Israel’s sound when they were on tv.
Interesting that Israel was booed in the Eurovision stadium but not on the night. IMO everyone should have just been silent and turned their backs every time including during the finals.

@DarkMatterZine @ellieraejaye two people, holding a large #Palestinian flag rushed the stage but were jumped on by security. Sound of boos was filtered out by broadcaster xx
