EuroZionvisionIsrael always gets a billion votes at the contest and almost wins, but this huge success doesn’t replicate on the streaming platforms where are far away in any charts
I’m guessing it’s one of those:
-
All music streaming platforms in the world are colluding to report less listening to those songs, because of some anti-israel agenda
-
Eurovision public votes are allowing votes from millions of bots, because of some pro-israel agenda
Not necessarily bots, but astroturfing, yes.
The Israeli government spends a lot of time and money on targeted ads and campaigning to get people to vote for their song. Not just in Israel, either, these are Israeli embassy accounts:
If there’s opposition to Israel in the voting, the votes are split across 24 other entries, whereas the support for Israel is for a single entry. It’s not really nefarious, just detracts from the quality of the performances.
Or 3 the boycott is significant so the far right are a significant part of the audience.

Well Finlands religious nutters and MAGA-style right wing Elon Musk fan boys were certainly provoked to vote for Israel… again.
Song was not that special and we ended up giving Israel 12 points… again.
As usual we’re in the news for all the wrong reasons.
I didn’t even know it was on
i’ve never even heard of eurovision. i mean what even is a euro vision

Does anyone care?
Eurovision is cooked.
I don’t watch eurovison, honestly I only ever hear about winners like this, and frankly this song is a banger (a bangaranga even) and the choreography is sick.
I watched it on Youtube since well, people were talking about it, and honestly I’m not gonna get this song out of my head for days.
Not outside Sam. He generally seems to be pretty chill, awesome guy.
Wow. That. Hmm.
I’m glad he seems to be having fun. Really, that’s what matters.
The only thing I watched of the contest
Sure, and Israel came in second.
PLAY JA JA DING DONG!
Didn’t ABBA come to fame from a Eurovision win?
I don’t see how that impacts the meme.
I was just asking.
It’s all just pop garbage anyways.
Is Israel even in europe?Eurovision has entries from the members of the European Broadcasting Union, which started out Europe-centric but now has members from other places too - notably Israel, Morocco, and Australia.
To be honest I would rather see only European countries. Adding these countries and especially the controversial Israel doesn’t help Europe to unite.
I also don’t really like the over the top way the festival is presented, it looks very fake and glamorous to me. I don’t associate myself with the fake and glamorous
