I wonder if the Israeli finale will just be the IOF executing Palestinian kids on a stage. That seems like it's reminiscent of their culture.

Bro you joke but I was thinking about buying a used phone and laptop and this thought literally went through my mind.

I’ve refused to watch or even listen to theirs, same as any others (I haven’t been able to escape my country’s one though, it’s on news and all), and I won’t watch the show for the very same reasons (Israel).
So I don’t know what it is, and hopefully won’t. Which also means this is exactly as plausible to me as anything else. And I would imagine anyone still choosing to watch the thing would be more than fine with that…
I can’t believe an entity like Eurovision lacks the spine to do the right thing, even with some big participant countries/artists/broadcasters pulling out or boycotting otherwise.
I genuinely liked the concept, it was a fun yearly tradition to watch with friends and drink and eat well and all.

Would you say the same thing about Palestinians because of Hamas or Russians because Putin or Americans because Trump?

Hamas is not a settler colonial force. The idf and israel are

Hear me out... The colonization of what is now the US was bad and I would absolutely say the same thing about the US and Russia has been ethnically clensing for far longer than Putin has been alive.

What a coincidence. The head sponsor of Eurovision 2026 is once again an Israeli company. And Israel keeps advancing.

In a perverse way, I kind of want them to win. I want the organisers to be forced to say the white part loud.

Well they have a tendency to murder the competition so it's easy for them to secure the qualification.
Edit: i just went and listened to them for 5 seconds and it's just trash, i don't know if their language is supposed to sound so "whiny" "biebery" whatever that bleeding heart crap is supposed to be called and drums sound like someone is hitting empty barrels, serious cash changed hands for this qualification...
