“October Rain,” a song that refers to the October 7 attacks in Israel, is reportedly in contention to become Eden Golan’s Eurovision 2024 song.
That’s according to Eran Swissa, a journalist at Israel Hayom. He has a track record for breaking Eurovision-related news in his country.
He explained that the song’s producers have threatened to pull the song because of disagreements about dividing royalties.
“The chosen song was written by Avi Ohayon and Keren Peles and at the request of the [broadcasting] corporation,” he writes. “Stav Beger joined work on it only after it was written.”
Mr. Berger wants to be listed as one of the song’s producers, while Mr. Ohayon wants him to have a lesser title, which would result in smaller royalties.
“If the sides do not reach an agreement, Ohayon has threatened to withdraw the song he submitted.”
The song is mostly in English except for two lines in Hebrew.
The broadcaster won’t confirm any of the information. Responding to Israel Hayom they said: “We will not deal with such queries and publications until it is announced what the song that represents Israel is.”
October Rain: Can Israel send a politically-loaded song to Eurovision?
The news that songwriters are fighting hasn’t been the main point of discussion among international fans. Instead the focus has been on the political nature of the song title.
Fans have pointed out that the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest expressly forbid political content. That was the reason Georgia’s Eurovision 2009 entry “I Don’t Want to Put In” was banned. And that’s also why, more recently, Belarus’s 2021 entry was disqualified before Belarus was excluded from the contest.
Eurovision lost all its credibility a long time ago, but allowing Israhell to enter the contest, while committing a genocide in Palestine, with a song called "October Rain" is a new low, even for them.#BanIsraelFromEurovision @Eurovision @EBU_HQ https://t.co/7gQxzZglnX

October Rain. They're planning on sending a song with a title OCTOBER RAIN. This is so on the nose it's insane. EBU should veto this, if they have the last remains of common sense left… #Eurovision ??https://t.co/KZQUMzf07O

yikes… anyway #BanIsraelFromEurovision https://t.co/MkKx3bnQ8L
— Oliver Adams ? (@adamsOliver_) February 19, 2024
At the same time, however, others point out that political content has been allowed in the near past. Music is born of the times and reflects the feelings of those who perform it.
Ukraine’s 2016 entry, for instance, recounted the forced deportation of Crimean Tatars under Josef Stalin. That Jamala chose to sing this in the years after Russia invaded Crimea gave the song a distinct political flavour. And then there were the opening lyrics: “When strangers are coming, they come to your house, they kill you all and say, ‘We’re not guilty.'”
Jamala always maintained the song was “personal” and not political…even if the title “1944” pointed to very specific events (and atrocities). She was allowed to compete — and she won.
So Israel is going to send non-political song called “October rain”.. uhm… we are kind of flabbergasted now…??? #Eurovision #Israel
— ESC AZERBAIJAN ?? (@12xal) February 19, 2024
unfortunately i doubt october rain would be banned by the EBU and they will probably use 1944 as an excuse and far-fetched comparison, claiming that eden is just singing about a "personal story"
— kjet ?????? (@VlSlONARYDREAM) February 19, 2024
To discuss the issue a bit more objectively and compare it to 1944, it would be necessary to see which lines exactly are being perceived as “political al” rather than the expression of a subjective experience? You can’t allow it in one case and not allow it in another case without a very clear concrete comperative analysis. To fair, the eurovision is unfortunaly getting farer and farer to be a unpolitical. The only political purpose should be to be the peace project for which it was founded after WW2, which would include to understand each other. From what I am… Read more »
Why include that stupid tweet from “Alice on strike”? I have no respect for people who call my country “Isra-hell”
Ynet has reported that EBU is considering to disqualify Israel if they do not replace this song with another one. KAN also stated that they will not replace it, even if their participation would be in jeopardy.
KAN & any other broadcaster in Israel needs to be banned for life. Disgustingly obscene behaviour.
Yes. If things stand as they are, I don’t think it’s gonna end in good terms between EBU and KAN.
Looks like a Georgia 2009 could happen:
https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/byuuedxnt
Welp. Imagine being the EBU, defending KAN tooth and nail for months in the middle of one of the biggest sh*tstorms of its existence, only for KAN themselves to decide to not help their own case.
Will Eden be physically assaulted, possibly murdered in Malmo? The chances are very high. Best she stay in her Kibbutz on the Ga*za border.
I am wondering that this aggressive comment has even been allowed..
well, israel posts get the most attention and comments, there
is no such thing bad advertising so we thank you all in advance, please continue(:
hey sister, dont start crying again when even more ugly boogiemen will jump over your fences.
But hey yeah, you might use that wining ESC24!!
Its amazing isnt it>?
If you joke on the death innocent civilians, what is your joke on whats happening in g@za? Just wondering…but we jews are not animals like you the jihadists so i will let you tell the joke about g@za but be creative…
I NEVER joked about any single mortal victim on either one of the camps.!!
You turn everything we say not being in your own favour full of hate and disregard on others with a other opinion.
I dont desire hearing jokes of you.
keep this hatred to our own innercircle please.
They got such wild takes it’s actually embarrassing…
So many anti-s@mites in the comments. disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
People defending Israel’s genoc!de on the Palest!nians should be ashamed of themselves.
Did you learn about that term on TikTok?
‘Anti-semites’ is a word that I see doing some serious heavy lifting in these comment sections.
Never surprises me to see Israeli’s trying anything they can to accuse people of something whilst painting themselves to be victims. Clever tactics, but it doesn’t take away the truth that Israel have been prevalent in the death and destruction of many innocent people for at least the past 50 years.
So yes, keep throwing about that fashionable term ‘anti-semite’. It makes you look desperate. Lol
It’s ok, the masks are off. You can just say you hate jews, as you said it’s very fashionable right now.
Didnt they teach to read on school??
Probably not as you keep on hammering your oneliner mantra.
Without ever considerating what others try to explain.
“you just h@te all the Jews”
Look to yourselfs pumpkins.
Of Course “Izrael” Will Be Alowed Just Like Ukraine . Its No Rules For This Countrys And Eurowision Its A Joke Now
You need to seriously start reviewing some of these comments.
They opened the article for opinion. And it’s people making their opinion he known.
Vote me down all you want but that is the truth, why make an article about the topic with open comments for everyone to just act nonchalant about the whole fiasco.
It is fascist to prohibit the free opinions of others while we demand the right to murder. This has already been seen in past history.
couldnt agree more.
You have to be a special type of pathetic to send a political song to try and get a win in Eurovision. DISGUSTING.
When it’s Ukraine it’s okay but when it’s Israel then it’s not okay?
I know you are anti-Semitic, but I at least expected you to try to be less obvious.
Because Ukraine isn’t attacking Moscow, they are just defending their territory from Russia. YOU on the other hand are targeting Palestinian civilians (who are not associated with the terrorists H@mas) from G/aza. This isn’t just a form of ethnic cleansing, but also islamophobia.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/26/europe/russia-destroys-ukrainian-drones-moscow-intl/index.html
Ukrainian droned in Moscow ^
If you think Israel is just targeting civilians, then I’m sorry, the propaganda reached to you.
H@mas is doing everything in their power to hurt more civilians so they can blame Israel.
I didn’t like it when Ukraine did it but in Ukraines defence, they sent a song in an abstract way based on some events that happened 70 years ago, This is clearly a song about something that happened only months ago and its a lot more pointed, and I certainly don’t like it seeing as Israel are committing the most atrocious collective punishment imaginable. I am not anti Semitic at all, I would defend any Jewish person who I see being attacked simply for being jewish, I do not however support a government nor supporters of that government who are… Read more »
Wise Words.
Thank you.
I have to agree, both this and Iceland’s antic just make things around ESC awkward
At least there are some counter arguments also on the ESC platform from a participation EBU member.
And rightly so.
Wipping thousands innocent civilians off the earth does make ESC24 a bit awkward isnt it??
Noooo, its not gonna destroy my eurovision 2024 experience.
They are just Collateral damage. They started it first and well our tv stated the following………………………
Every heard about George Orwells Animal farm??
Voila there you have it. Live on screen. 24/7
DISGUSTING.
Shame on you.
#3minutesblank.
We know what Iceland are doing for sure. Why this year sending a Palestinian guy? However, the song he is singing at least is a normal non political song.
Ok but the funniest outcome of all of this would be if the EBU did all of that, defending Israel’s participation, and they just belarussed themselves anyway.
I hope that will be the case!
Its the hanging fruit in the basket news on the ESC24 right now.
Just waiting for the official confirmation of EBU or KAN.
Hope all eurovision websites are getting less toxic in the comment sections if this will be made official?
The misery and wars arent over as of yet , only lets celebrate ESC24 in somewhat positive manner!!
They are literally taking the piss in exactly the way we always knew they would if they were allowed to participate. Disgusting.
“ exactly the way WE always knew “
Who is “we”?
Decent human beings who oppose Israel’s far right propaganda and w4r cr1mes?
Since when antisemitis become” decent” ? you taking about propaganda?
i ask some here and refuse to answer I hope you will Does Israel have a right to self-defense?
Who started a cruel brutal and barbaric war against civilians on 7/10/23?it was Israel? Who violated the ceasefire in early December?
And finally
Do you recognize Israel’s right to exist in its sovereign territory?
Definitely not you Benjamin supporter
Never voted for him ( Benjamin Netanyahu)
People here are so dumb.
We wouldn’t have to tolerate these dumb comments if Israel was banned.
These endless arguments between zionists and Palestin*an supporters lead nowhere. Eurovision has never been this divided, ever. Banning Israel is the only solution.
A few questions for you and I would be happy if you could answer them:
Does Israel have a right to self-defense?
Who started a cruel, cruel and barbaric war against civilians on 7/10/23? Were you Israel? Who violated the ceasefire in early December?
And finally
Do you recognize Israel’s right to exist in its sovereign territory?
Killing thousands and thousands of children and leaving rest without homes and to starve…. well i don’t know about you, but for me thats not how selfdefence looks like.
THIS!!!
I Answer For Him .
1. No Because They Attack First . I Question For You : Did Your Favourite NATO Have A Right To “Self Defend” Against Serbia , Afganistan , Iraq , Syria … ??
2. The War Started Long Ago
3. Who Colonize Palestine Land And Are Imperialist Evil Empire ??
4. No
1 Israel attacked first on 7/10/23? Are you sure? Maybe you should think again?
2- Is Israel the one that violated the ceasefire? Maybe you should consult with Anthony Blinken, the US Secretary of Defense, maybe he can help you if you are having trouble.
3- Israel is not imperialist, it is a sovereign country that most countries of the world recognize, including Arab countries such as Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco, and even the Palestinians recognized its sovereignty in the Oslo Accords.
4- Finally your anti-Semitism is revealed.
Palestine doesn’t even participate in the competition so it’s not unfair to ban Israel…
259 comments claiming to understand a song based on the title of the song without hearing the song and without knowing what the words are – sounds ridiculous to me.
Tell me what was Galasy Zmesta’s “Song About Hares”, their 2nd song for ESC 2021.
there are commentors that use the word gen@cide as a fact for whats happening in g@za while even the international court of justice rejected this claim…lol, so are you exactly? just wondering, actually i do know who you are(: wont help you….israel will win the war and eurovision
If Israel wins ESC24, they have at least enough space in the flattened distict G area building the biggest ESC Arena ever.
Its a pity tho that nobody will show up in 2025 except Belarus and Azerbijan.
lol
A day not laughed is a day not lived isnt it??
Great you guys have such a refined sense of cold and deadly humor.
Sure you will win ESC24. OFC……………………………hahahahaha
Owe im sorrry being sarcastic now!!
lol…
I’m just so tired and disappointed.
I’m disappointed in the EBU for not taking a stance against Israel or its broadcaster, I’m tired of the constant debates with Zionists and I’m disappointed that my favorite event of the year will be corrupted by whatever propaganda Israel sends.
Eurovision this year doesn’t feel as exciting. This is a time to be united through music, but it feels like the most divisive year to date. Ban Israel now.
You’re disappointed your music contest will be corrupted because we’re there?
Our holiday was corrupted because a ge0nicdal organization invaded our country and m@ssacred us horribly.
So I’m sorry you feel like you won’t enjoy Eurovision this much, but some of us are trying to get rid of a literal threat on their lives, you whiny baby.
Also, if you believe Jews deserve a country, you’re a zionist as well.
If not, you’re antisemitic.
Decide which one you are.
Why are you so adamant in entering a competition where no one wants you there? Who is going to vote for Israel?
First of all, speak for yourself.
Secondly, we’ve been competing for 50 years and we have no reason to quit now.
Believe it or not, Israel shares the same values as the west and we believe in the values of Eurovision.
I don’t know what makes people so vocal about Israel and not against other countries committing actual atrocities, but that’s a different discussion.
Only Israel wants Israel in the competition. We are Russia was banned, because you are a western created entity Israel has been allowed to commit g3n0c1de without punishment. The hypocrisy is obvious.
Russia is an imperialistic terrorist state, Israel is not.
Isaerli AI technology weapon sales went up drasticly after the start of the counterattacks in oct ’23.
Once again, according to the official definition of gen0cide, Israel is not committing it, but we will leave it to the ICJ to decide.
Once again as well, speak for yourself.
Israel was attacked and has the right to defend itself, not even Israel violated the cease fire at the beginning of December.
Who was responsible for the Oslo accords failing? Who was assassinated by WHO and who was the person who committed the act connected to?
would be happy if you tell me who really violated the Oslo agreements? Maybe it’s better if you start with who Yasser Arafat hid in the car, how long did he arrive in Judea and Samaria after he signed the agreement, which clearly proves his intention?
The gen0cidal organization is Israel. The country is literally facing trial at The International Criminal Court for gen0cide. I’d go further and say Israel is a terr0rist state. Both the Government and the population who keeps voting for these psychopathic leaders.
Attempts at silencing the majority by calling us antisemitic no longer works. We don’t care. The gloves are off.
hi hitler how are you?
If a person stands trial for something, does it mean they’re guilty? I didn’t know you think everyone’s guilty right away, how awful.
We could spend all day discussing the official definition of gen0cide and I could prove you it’s not the reality right now, but you wouldn’t listen anyway.
I feel sorry for you. Spend less time on TikTok.
Also, we don’t use antisemitism because it’s the easy choise – but because it’s true, occasionaly.
If you close your eyes and look away when antisemitism shows up, you will just be a partner for the next victim.
Antizionist does not equal antisemitic.
The European people don’t want your ”country” at Eurovision.
It’s that simple.
Zionism is about the right of Jews to have their own country in their homeland like every other nation in the world.
If you accept all BUT the Jewish state, it does make you an antisemite, sorry.
Zionism is a colonial project. Israel is a settler state.
The Israeli government is disgusting, illegal settlers are disgusting, and extremist nationalist Israelis are disgusting. It’s their actions I hate, not their faith.
Criticism of Israel’s genoc*de of the Palestinian nation is not antisemitic.
The EBU or us weren’t involved in October 7th. So why don’t you do us all a favour and stop shoving it down our throats?
I’m sorry, have you had enough hearing about the m@assacre we’ve been through?
Next time we’ll just stay quiet about it and just die or something.
No one “deserves” an ethnostate and no one should work towards building an ethnostate.
My comment being downvoted, out of context, looks like only nazis use this site and only they would get mad at me stating simple facts like “Ethnostates are bad”. This would be hilarious if this botting and blind fanaticism wasn’t so sad that people don’t realize they’re wrongfully angry about something like this.
People have the right to have a country for their group, and so do the Jewish people.
If you ask me, so do the Palestinians, obviously.
So what are you trying to say exactly?
Ever heard about ‘Apartheid’??
Finally that construct failed to excist.
I am seriously debating sitting this one out if things continue this way. Which to a fan is hurtful, but not nearly as hurtful as the horrors that are being committed with total impunity.
Wise words.
Im with you.
And I will listen soon the songs of Musti and Baby Lasgana being released 2day.
As i do with all the countries participating on ESC editions.
Thats a big joy and source of entertainment and irritation ofc.
But that is what make the cake so delicious.
Year after year in the end of winter begining spring.
EUROVISION time……………………
This year a have a bad taste in my mouth from the cake.
Some souls dont even have rotten cake feeding themselfs, their children, family or friends.

ESC 2024, “Een Beetje”
Idk who needs to hear this but not voting for Israel will not free Palestine, saying Israel should not participate will not free Palestine, sending hate towards Eden will not free Palestine, boycotting Eurovision will not free Palestine, and speculating over the political meaning of a song will also not free Palestine. Enjoying filling yourself with hate while doing absolutely nothing effective.
Lol do you enjoy 30000 children and women being murdered, with more to come soon with the Rafah attack?
Yeah and out of 30000 there are not even 1 h@m@s ter*rist right? Israel is fighting ghosts tbat never die, correct? You are so dumb gosh…

what exactly you do,
Antisemiti propaganda?
Aye but not voting for Israel will help them not win. And that’s a win in my eyes.
And letting Israel participate will let them spread whatever view of the world they believe is right even if it’s a lie. Sorry. It’s not fair people responsible for tens of thousands of murders is in any way justified as a reaction.
Well done Brazil for their true comments about Israel. Time the west grew a backbone and send the right message to the world.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz took the Brazilian ambassador to Israel to the Yesh Vashem Hall, which is an official statutory institution for commemorating the Holocaust in Israel, located above the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem, in the western part of Mount Herzl. , where Brazil received a sharp rebuke for the outrageous comparison of the president of Brazil, many in Brazil were outraged by this debunked and outrageous comparison.
Why, because the holocaust was committed against Jews, doesn’t mean it is something you are doing now? Is Israel immune to the atrocities it is committing somehow, because its a creation of the west?
War is an ugly thing, but not every war can be called gen0cide.
You people should really stop making this huge term so cheap.
You are calling the death of 28.000+ souls and the inmense human suffering of aprox 2.000.000 humans cheap? This is exactly what a regime in the 30’s in Europe did, when you where the victems in droves. May God have merci on theit Souls. Isnt this called The Stockholm syndrom??

I’m not saying anything cheap about the war, but using the term gen0cide about a regular war is indeed cheap. When you see a real one, you’ll know it for sure, and it’s just not this war.

Thanks fellow Human in sharing the good energy amongst us in these dire times.
It appears today in the online media that theres a dispute going on between EBU and KAN.
So lets wait and see what the official confirmation will be.
And even if Eden cant carry their vlague on the ESC24 stage.
I dont think our israeli ESC trolls will leave our ESC pages online.
Lets wait and see.
See you in may, dont forget to bring the israeli flag…
owe, yeah I saw those toiletpaper thing online with exactly the same print.
Awesome idea.
And I will tell you that… Israel will not be banned no matter what.. cause RC and moroccanoil are in control by jews and Israelis.. so save your words and voice.. it means nothing… thank you!
This sounds kind of antisemitic ….
Like the majority of the media that pedals pro-Israel propaganda. Now there’s a surprise!
heee pumpkin, do you have the same speechwriter as the leader of R ussia?
The song is going to be “please goyim, support our song and pretend for three minutes Israel doesn’t hate you and see you as beasts”
i trust israeli writers to pass the message while still passing the EBU test, israeli lawyer checked the lyrics and approved them, israelis know how to do the job….now wait until the winning song of eurovision is out…no one can be better than eden golan in this contest because its Eden, 1 of a billion singer, thats the only reason, and the song of course, keren+avi+stav begger – Toy writer and producer, this must be a winning song
You are so delusional that its not even funny
Will see on the final, when eden will amaze everyone, we are talking here on adele, byonce level here..watch and learn…you dont get it yet but you will, Eden is a world wide star in the making
She only chooses the wrong country representing considering the current geopolitical situation Im afraid.
BEYONCE LEVEL LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No seriously, Eden is nowhere near her pls this comparison just sent me into orbit.
I’m howling!
I am even more excited to hear that song.. love the title! Totally “in your face” move to the haters and I’m here for it!
Yeah, as it should…but eden and the song will be that amazing without connection to anything…Eden is a star
hahahaha, OMG.
See the haters being delusional. Haters gonna hate.
Voila, here you are my pumpkins.
Its really becoming a FREAKshow what you are doing!!
Unbelievable.
“X Israeli pop star, 1 of a billion singer, thats the only reason” you people say this for every representative each year come on now get a new copypasta already.
Also, the rabbithole about her family all being based in Russia until 2022 and then they left to Israel while her family still does their business in Russia is a little interesting… She even tried to represent Russia in JESC in the 2010’s…
The same was said about Noa Kirel last year and surprise surprise, despite throwing EVERYTHING at the song and performance, they STILL didn’t win LOL.
This year there is so much more disdain for Israel that she is going to tank. And I can’t wait! I’ve already screenshotted these comments to come back to just to die of laughter at your delusions!
Please hear me out, this is a personal opinion, so please don’t start accusing me of being antisemitic because, before you do, I want to clarify that I am Jewish. I agree Israel has the right to participate, like every year. However, I think this year they should not use the contest as a propaganda platform for whitewashing, pink washing, or dragging Europe into this dreadful conflict. If Israel proceeds to the final this year, it should be based on the public vote and support for the song, not on Israel’s stance in the conflict. However, my concern is with… Read more »
Israel is allowed to sing about their painful moments and it’s not propaganda.
Moreover, you don’t want Israel to drag Europe into this conflict – the reality is that European countries are dragging themselves into it, thinking they are all experts without living with a threat right next door.
I’m mostly surprised by Finnish people, who do live next to a threat.
I don’t want them to wake up only after they’re attacked.
I disagree with you, very much considering this as propaganda and it doesn’t really have a place any more in a democratic Europe. It’s old school, but unfortunately, it still exists not just in Israel. Europe will make their decision in May and we will see. if Israel fails to qualify then a strong message will be made by Europe. You never know until May this may very well change. Another thing is the singer representing Israel is also Russian and has performed in an occupied Crimea. This is not going to go down well either in some countries. Just… Read more »
You blame us being utterly clueless about your countries situation concerning threats.

Sure.
“Rain” is the name of a prayer for rain recited on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret at October.
In addition to that, the month of October is already winter. It rains in winter…

And i lije tge downgrades of the haters, they know its gonna be amazing and tgey eat their heart…lol

Yeah, haters gonna hate!!
With Love from Russia my pumpkins.
Take the blue pill, owe no wait the RED one…………………………..
So what have the haters of Israel achieved so far? Absolutely nothing. 🙂
1. Israel will participate in Eurovision
2. Israel up in odds
3. Meanwhile, no contestant has withdrawn from the competition because of Israel
4. Haters of Israel down in odds
Thank you.. Next!
no contestant will withdrawn , hate us is good for PR., its magic..
“Hates” meaning here “people with a basic sense of decency and disgust at massive collective punishment campaign meted out against innocent children” – history will judge Isreal harshly for this.
Lol…you are so clueless, its really funny…and the fact that you think that you know what you are talking about is even funnier…the fact that you dont even mention october 7 says where are you coming from…for people like israel sent the winning song october rain, in your face
people with a sense of decency don’t kidnaped one year baby old…snd you support them , so dont give me tips ..
history as always will judge the white Europeans for the hate of jews…
What it boils down to is the fact that the EBU need to man up and create an enforceable rule on people using war, atrocities and political events as subject matter for songs at Eurovision. There are many, many other subjects that people can use for inspiration, it’s literally so cringe when people go for the obvious just to try to: A) Garner sympathy. B) Use their 3 minutes as a platform to broadcast propaganda. C) Bringing more danger to civilians by singing about their version of a tragedy which could trigger the opposition further in to a rage. That’s… Read more »
Eurovision has always been a mirror of ongoing events in Europe and beyond.
If Israelis want to express their pain, it’s ok. No one has to vote for it, there’s barely any sympathy with Israel anyway.
Israel is done being the weak country thats needs sympathy, just acknowledge our pain instead of trying to deny it, like many people do.
It was created as a way of bringing countries together….a form of unity despite all the boundaries and cultural differences. Its never been a ‘Mirror of what’s happening in Europe and beyond’. Thats just a BS excuse to infiltrate the contest with politics and propaganda, which is against the rules of the EBU. If they literally took charge and banned all references to war, politics and propaganda then it would be a much fairer and kinder place. Sadly the EBU are so vague, and choose to pander to the countries that they want to pander to. The rules simply need… Read more »

Who knows??
Dancing on the vulcano could be very hot!
Eden Golan performed in Crimea after the annexation so for that reason alone, she should rot in the semis.
yeah, you judge a kid that never decided for himself? shame on you
owe eden is a him??
Funny, your media didnt mention that.
OK, 2 extra points in the SF.Another non binary?
But Bambie has more expression imo.
So no one is allowed to perform there nowadays?
Let alone how there is no rule about it in Eurovision.
If there is no rule about performing in Crimea and then going to Eurovision but you still think she should be banned or stay in the semis, that’s plain dictatorship, where rules don’t matter.
Hey pumpkin!!
Thats a perfect catch22 you created here.
You folks are masters in doing that NON-stop!!
Sing a song!!
Spread love, peace, and the message to not vote for israel in May since Eden Golan is a Russian-Israeli singer who lived most of her life in Russia and ran away with her family from there not because of a sudden realization of what the regime is doing but fearing the war on her doorbell and being sanctioned from using all the goods the West can offer, including this contest. The EBU mafia did nothing to stop it; let’s make justice ourselves by leaving israel in the semi.
Eden moved to Russia because of her dad’s job and they came back to Israel because it’s their home. How can you call to spread love when you’re spreading hate? Do you really want to blame Eden when she was a child for Putin’s actions? Are you for real? Do you really think all Russians support Putin? Israel is a country full of Russians, along many other nationalities, because we are Jews, so there’s nothing wrong with her roots. She might be Russian, but she isn’t Putin. The hypocrisy is celebrating here with your comment. Also, going against Israel in… Read more »
Why do you even care what some random guy on the Internet is thinking (ever heard about free speech, eh?)? Let alone whether Israel will do well in Eurovision or not. I thought you had bigger problems, such as killing thousands of innocent children for the sake of some dozens of terrorists to be killed in the process. See, if there was no war in Europe, we’d probably buy your crap, but now more and more people in Europe realize you’re acting like a bunch of Nazis with Putlerist methods.
Well said Devito, i agree 100%
Why wouldn’t I care when people are spreading lies and hatred about me and my country after being attacked?
How would you feel if it were you?
You guys in Europe just forgot what wars are like, they are horrible and cruel.
The moment the next war in Europe will begin, don’t you dare to try and get sympathy from us, we will sit aside and just criticise you for defending yourselves.
You’re acting as if we are just targeting innocent people. Honey, that’s just twisting the reality.
Not everything you hear on TikTok is the truth.
I mean it’s one thing to not want to go against your country for whatever reason and I never expect that in advance from anyone because of the dangers it involves, but going as far as trying to deny that what is being done right now (and for nearly a century now) is wrong really blows my mind. With that position, you guys alone are making it hard for others to sympathise with you.
While at the same time, I have immense respect and solidarity for Israeli people who oppose the current actions, while fearing tremendous backlash from the government.
Bro, we don’t live in a dictatorship, many people here, myself included, have different kinds of criticisms about the government, no one is afraid and no one is being persecuted by the government. You don’t even know my opinions about the whole conflict, but you definitely assume you do. Israeli people are just done with the westplaining, when people think they know better than us. Any one of those 1200 on October 7th could have been me, so forgive me for fully supporting the war against H@mas. My hope for the future is a Palestinian state, because I’m done hearing… Read more »
No, your are speaking absolute garbage here. YOU, the zionist regime and its supporters. I think not all Israeli and Jewisch citiziens might agree with the current policies of the Regime. Those mass demonstrations against the Bibbi Regime in the 100K’s, over the last 6 months. Even before the oct23 attacks , 100 thousands took it to the israeli streets voicing their anger against those impending restriction of the Higher Court as Israel has no Constitution, in making the Regime has the principal rulling over new Laws. The only Democracy in the Middle East……………………?? I dont use Tik tok btw!!… Read more »
ask yourself the same question, why you care what random guy is replying to you ?
my guess you don’t have a life…you are lonely and full of hate.. sad
+100
As we say in israel, no brain no worries
And yet you’re there on the Internet, smartpants.
Ha, thats why you fols cant think about what your State is doing on behalf of your peoples!!??
I get now!!
Russia being banned and Israel not, are a technically a bit different issues. Considering sanctions, EBU and Russian TV would not be able to conduct business, while there are no sanctions against Israel.
Comparing Jamala, 1944 (and I am even not a fan of that song), and some potential song that references events that are still ongoing, is not really possible.
If Israel does send a song like that, it could very well backfire, considering overall sentiment to current events, therefore even if it is good could stay in semifinal as its televote only!
I just wanna talk about the voting really quick.
People who decide not to vote for Israel no matter what, will just vote to different countries, their votes will split.
People who decide to vote for Israel no matter what, will boost them significantly.
I don’t think it will be effective to not vote for Israel.
How do you know this is a political song? According to the name of the song? did you hear him?Did you read the lyrics?
I understand that the European Broadcasting Union approved the song
I read they used having a glitch in their systems.
Since ESC is not taking Israel’s role seriously and failing to acknowledge the ongoing conflict the same way they did with Russia, I hope we see our artists take a stance against this injustice. We will be watching how you use your platform to call out them.
Israel SHOULD not be allowed. And we should be more critical about how EBU portrays foreign political affairs. This isn’t about the individual, although I have nothing against her and her entry (unless it’s a piece of propaganda).
Since Israel is planning a Rafah offensive for March 10th, I think that event will be the catalyst for their eventual exclusion from the contest.
Isn’t it part of the strip? With H@mas people? With our hostages there? It’s not special…
I hope it ends quickly with as few as possible casualties of innocent people.
I don’t know where you get that date from, but it’s definitely coming soon
Ask your war cabinet member Benny Gantz regarding the deadline day.
I heard what he said, the main thing is not the date as to say they will begin the operation in Rafah that day.
The point of it is to make sure they know we will not stop because of Ramadan, because we still have hostages there and the threat of H@mas.
I’ll just remind you how they attacked us on a holiday, on Sabbath.
Revenge will not solve anything by suddenly becoming islamophobic and obliterate absolutely every inch of Rafah.
Another 100% catch22 here.
So you say you dont delay more att@cks because of Ramadan.
But boohhoo hooooo, how much so you screamed to the world you were attacked on one of your important days in your calendar………………??
May God have merci on all their Souls.
Are you kidding me with this ?Benny Gantz said what ?
And he gave an exact date when exactly to enter Rafah and he told you that? Benny Gantz does not decide things by himself, there is a security cabinet, he is just one of them.
He also told you what time they will enter the Rafah?
That’s? A? Lot? Of? Questions? For? Trying? To? Play? Dumb?
Wait!! lets play hide and seek.
Thats such a fun game at the picknick in the park!!
no reason to be surprised, alex cares only for jihadists that are killed
lol
Eden’s team is making such a wrong move here it’s actually a red flag. Imagine profiting from a terrorist attack and deliberately make a song out of it to compete in ESC. It doesn’t sound right to me. It’s actually offensive for the relatives of people who died on 7/10.
Yes. This, totally! It’s not respectable at all!
The people of Israel want to talk about it. The relatives of the victims wouldn’t feel comfortable if we sang about something casual during these tough times.
This is a national project this year, not quite Eden’s thing only
the Sound of Silence who have been the best option for all parties involved.
Jamala and Genealogy literally did the same thing and their song weren’t about themselves
I think they’ve seen the empathy piled on Ukraine in the ESC and they fancy the same treatment.
Unfortunately for Israel it isn’t warranted.
I feel for everyone caught up in this conflict on both sides. There is nothing more corrupt and blood thirsty than the government’s we empower. They’re the ones who draw us in to these situations. And I hope that Israel don’t try and capitalise off it as that would be tasteless.
I actually don’t really want Israel to send a political song to ESC but you can’t say they’re profiting from a terrorist attack here…
Just look at France 2015 that sent a song named “Don’t forget” just after the terrorist attacks.. They didn’t profited from that
Lol I mean do you not know Israel by now. Throw them out
It doesn’t sound right to you? It’s offensive for the relatives of people who died on 7/10?
A song that you never heard and you don’t know the lyrics and ‘affesive the relatives of who died? Did you talk with them and ask?
Yes bro I got them here on the phone line!!
I knew it! I knew Israel were planning to do a Ukraine and try and get sympathy votes! But it’s not gonna work this time because most of us have turned against them!
Israel should be ashamed of themselves for trying to puppeteer Eden into singing what is CLEARLY a political song just from the title. Why is Mr Osterdahl not banning them already? He is being paid by Israel.
Fr now, and it will get worse when they begin the Rafah ground offensive on 10th March. They’re losing more and more global support.
Even from a neutral stance you cant help but feel they’ll be overwhelmed in May. If they’re suffering so much, why spend so much money or send the effort to Eurovision in the first place?
Definitely this is happening Globally. Support from the west is decling for this war. Massive demonstrations against the massacres being commited in the ME. Governments and political leaders speaking up in public. Its about time isnt it? Enough is enough. ( yeah and was saying this after 9/11, and in 2003 Iraq or 2010 Libya etc etc. Anytime peoples are driven into death, misery and chaos I try to vent my anger online, or I made artworks, I didt do demonstrations of all kind, somethimes I donated money for the just cause.) What can we do more>? Asking eacother for… Read more »
Eden herself wants to talk about the horrible attack on Israelis on October 7th, no one is forcing her to do anything.
Since when is pain a political thing? Can’t talk about our pain? Shame on you.
Also, Israel have always said the song will talk about the war, so like, you didn’t really find something amazing justifying you saying “I knew it”…
Sympathy votes aren’t our thing, we just want our voice to be heard and acknowledge the attack, on a stage with many people trying to deny what happened.
Youre just not getting it! Acknowledge the attack on the news channels, not a light hearted entertainment show! This is not a platform for that. It was born out of peace and unity and was created with no political commentary in mind, yet countries feel like they have a right to hi-jack the competition to speak about the situations in their countries. Its not for that. And why are countries so hell bent on entering an entertainment show whilst wars rage in their countries where many civilians have died? I just cant understand this logic? Is there nothing better for… Read more »
If it’s a bop, the haters will all be secretly stanning. I hope it’s a great song!
By “haters” do you mean “people who are disgusted by a country actively pursing a massive campaign of collective punishment against innocent children participating in Eurovision”?
More like self-hating gays who only see this situation black or white and will blindly support the country where they would never be welcomed.
Your username is very accurate. Ukraine is not exactly nirvana for gay people either, yet no-one criticises us for supporting Ukraine. Do you think there are no LGBTQ+ victims within the almost 30,000 that Israel have massacred over the past couple of months?
A perfect example of only seeing things black or white right here: comparing this situation to Ukraine’s. Well done, Rory! And guess what, Ukraine supports Israel in this situation, not the Russia-backed t-words!
I’m comparing the reaction, no-one was criticising gay people or black people or Muslims etc. for supporting Ukraine, even though the country has extensive problems with racism and homophobia. So why do you suddenly use it as a weapon?
Probably because Russia’s problems with the same groups are FAR worse, so said minorities chose the lesser evil. In this case, it’s about blindly supporting a country that would k-word you if it could just based on your sexuality.
Or maybe, gay people don’t base all of their decisions off of the perception they have of a countries stance on LGBTQ issues. You are saying we should blindly support Israel’s mass collective punishment just because they have some better policies? Their bombs are killing queer p alestinians just as easily as straight ones.
Right, many of us base their decisions on lack of self-respect. Siding with Hama$… no words!
Well, in arab nations you literally can’t be a member of LGBTQ+, no one allows that.
*a Government chief
Thank you for seeing the truth
Calling this song a “bop” which is about a day where over a thousand people died is like dropping the letter G from the “Graveyard” sign.
The fact you merely mention the words ‘government’ and ‘backing’ shows how much of a brainwashed sheep you really are.
It’s because of the government’s that the civilians have been drawn in to this situation in the first place. The greed, the pig-headedness, the self entitlement, and the power hungry. The fact you think that they are somehow your saviours means that you earned your username.
Perhaps open your eyes and literally see things holistically before being drawn in to something as treacherous as this situation.
They should be banned from Eurovision and not be able to send their propaganda song!
Have you heard the song? Because you clearly seem to already know what it’s about…
If it’s just a song about the Israeli pain of October 7th, is it still propaganda?
If so, we can also call the Palestinian pain propaganda, right?
But it’s not – pain is just pain, and it’s everywhere.
If you can’t sympathise with Israeli pain, you just don’t care about Israelis.
If you can’t see why a song with that tile would be a
bad taste while Palestine people still suffer from ongoing geno.cide,
then thats a You problem
I’m not a huge fan of the title, but the lyrics are the important part. While you see the suffering of Palestinians only, I see the suffering of both of us. Inevitably, mostly my own side as well, as those attacks could have been against me. As one of the rockets could have hit me. If you really want me to give you the official definition of gen0cide and the reality, I can do that. There is no gen0cide there, just war, which isn’t a pretty thing to see, but the differences are major. So, if you can’t see the… Read more »
The song is called ‘October Rain’. We all know what it’s gonna be about. This can’t be a coincidence.
This song, ACCORDING TO RUMOURS, is called October Rain.
Even if it is the real title and song, obviously it talks about the war, but there’s nothing wrong about singing a song about a historical painful moment.
No one in Israel is trying to send a hidden message in the song, we are saying clearly that we want to sing about the attack, because it’s painful.
Where does this stop? The EBU should literally take a stand against anyone wanting to use a political or war related event as a subject to sing about at Eurovision. There are many many other subjects that people can use for inspiration, it’s literally so cringe when people go for the obvious just to try to: A) Garner sympathy. B) Use their 3 minutes as a platform to broadcast propaganda. C) Bringing more danger to civilians by singing about their version of a tragedy which could trigger the opposition further in to a rage. That’s why we have programmes such… Read more »
One more comment – PAIN IS NOT POLITICAL.
If Israel ends up sending something about the pain of October 7th, nothing wrong with that.
Your biased articles, however, are a shame.
You haven’t heard the song and here you are, trying to convince everyone it’s political and showing us only the tweets of those who oppose this song.
Don’t even bother to react to it, we could really spare your reactions about it, which will probably not be quite nice
True. Jamala blurred the content of ‘1944’ to make it sounds like a song about a non-specific suffering moment and it still went on stage. People literally supported it and voted for it. If ‘October Rain’ do the same, I won’t get why people would complain
There truly is some extra hate for Israelis and it’s something I have experienced myself my whole life. I like playing video games and every time when people found out I’m Israeli, they either tried to ruin my chances of winning (even if it’s a team game and they will also lose) or just throw their political anger at me, as if I’m the country… Even nowadays, people are hating on me while Russians for example or Syrians aren’t getting the same hate while standing right next to me in those games. (They shouldn’t get, they are just people, not… Read more »
Wish you the best. I hope everything will find an end and peace would come back at last.
It is if it refers to what is going on with Palestine. The word ‘October’ is what is setting a lot of people off. If it was about something vague, we would not be talking here.
Jamala sang a song titled 1944, Ester Peony and Reiley (Romania 19 and Denmark 23) included September in their lyrics, what’s the problem?
We are obviouslu referring to something that happened in a specific moment.
Once again, we should wait for the official announcement and not just follow rumours blindly.
Difference though..
1944 was vague enough to be approved, and the lyrics did not reflect current events. It was the audience that made the connection..
But a title like October Rain is not vague at all,it tells the audience what it is about. It directly refers to a political current event
I don’t think there’s anything political about singing about our pain.
Do you want us to name it 1939? And then refer to October 2023?
The title isn’t the issue here and all we have now is a rumoured title, not even an official one.
Let’s all take a deep breath and wait for the official song to come out and judge the lyrics.
I truly believe the EBU doesn’t want a political song in the contest, but people are going to call anything political these days, just like they’re calling any war “gen0cide” these days.
How about, Wiwibloggs, we wait for the song to be released and THEN judge the song? Before trying to make everyone think it’s too political in advance?
Obviously Israelis feel like talking about these events because it hurts, but the question is, what do you consider political?
If we just sing about our pain, is it a forbidden type of political song?
Numerous countries sang about painful events in their history… Ukrain 2016, Armenia 2015 etc.
Even if it is out song, eventually, let’s wait to hear it, come on…
Ukraine are special, and Armenia 2015 was more about armenian culture worldwide and something historical, i mean genealogy was formed out of armenians across the world coming together for one special magical performance
I know, but they had to change their title of the song as well, probably referring to the Armenian gen0cide (a true one, by the way, unlike the claims for a gen0cide right now by Israel)
The Turks never admitted the Armenian ge no Cide either, usually the ones inflicting it don’t recognise it.
They wanted to get rid of Armenians.
We want to get rid of H@mas.
See the difference? It’s very clear honey 🙂
That’s exactly what the Turks said, they demonised Armenians as “traitors” and “anti-nationalists”, just as Israel is demonising the residents of g a z and the w e st banque (with government ministers calling them “animals”). No g. Enocidal regime is ever going to openly admit to what they are doing.
Stop twisting my words, and reality.
H@mas is NOT the Palestinians, I can’t emphasize this enough.
The Palestinian people are not treated well by H@mas.
We call H@mas animals, not the Palestinians themselves who simply want to make a living and live in peace.
If you want to compare the innocent people to the animals who attacked us, you’re the problem.
No, you call all Palestinians animals and are happily going around committing geno cide with no care for who y’all b o m b, shut it
How can you possible put words in my mouth when I’m here saying the opposite?
Tell that to your bloodthirsty government then. Because they are not following this line of thinking, and that is what the rest of the world is seeing. I understand that not all Isrealis think this about Palestinians on a personal level, but that is the policy your government is pursuing.
You may think that way, but it’s just not true.
We all see the difference between H@mas and the Palestinians.
You have every right to criticise the actions of the war, but no one here is really thinking they’re all the same.
Unfortunately, we do have some extremists in the coalition but they’re not quite those who make the decisions in this war
Is Eden Golan named after the Golan Heights that Israel stole from Syria?
If you care, it’s a biblical name…
shut up little nazi
Of course they will be allowed.
They can clearly do what they want. In every aspect of society.
EBU won’t want to look like it actually functions properly.
I don’t get why people are pressed over the song title of a song we didn’t even get to hear…
Btw I find it very petty from wiwibloggs to post anything about the Israeli selection except when Eden won and allow one of their reporters to write an article about something non-official and political that will 100% lead people to argue in the comment section and make it explode. That’s very low from you guys.
They are trying to control everyone’s opinion about the Israeli entry this year and make people hate the song no matter what.
How petty is it to say a song is political WITHOUT LISTENING TO IT??
I agree with you on that. They better skip writting any articles about Israel if they only focus on what’s gonna make them pop on Internet. This just looks like clickbaiting for me.
Why don’t you guys stop commenting on Wiwibloggs if you are so upset about their stance? Feels counter productive to continue using the site while you are moaning about the content or lack of, on it?
Ive been there for years. Defended wiwibloggs even. But here, I can’t act a fool when i clearly see how they unfairly not treated the case of the Hakokhav Haba but allow themselves to post anything political linked to Israel. You can’t ignore a stunt when you smell it
Let’s ask ourselves? Why doesn’t the Israeli government allow foreign journalists like Zelensky does? What do you have to hide? What are they ashamed of?
Foreign journalists have already been to Israel…
At the official press conferences with the IDF spokesperson, they visited the destroyed Kibbutzim in the south, some have entered the strip as well, so what are you talking about??
The international press could only see and hear what the Israeli government wanted to show and say. In fact there is not a single Western journalist covering the news in the center of the war as they can in Ukraine. Thats the reality. If one is not afraid to show the truth, why hide it?
As far as I remember, I have seen journalists covering the war from inside the strip, so again, no idea what you’re talking about.
Other than that, if one of them dies there, everyone will just blame us for killing journalists, so even if Israel decided not to let any of them go in, I think it’s a fine reason.
Anyway, you can get a lot of footage from the Palestinians themselves, though I wouldn’t trust it 100%. I’ve discovered some lies from them myself.
Can you name a Western journalist who covers the news from the inside? That is false and everyone knows this. I remind you that the war press knows very well their work and where they go.
No because I never bothered checking their names, but I have seen the reports.
Journalists might know their work and where to go but facts are, they still get hurt sometimes.
There’s nothing to hide there, everybody can see the pictures from the strip and see the destruction.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
1,400 Israelis and foreigners murdered.
9,000 Palestinian children murdered.
20,000 civilian women and men murdered. 7,000 children, women and men missing under the rubble.
And the number continues to increase daily
STOP STOP STOP THESE MURDERES CAN NEVER BE JUSTIFIED TO ANY HUMAN BEING OR ANY GOD.
And how many terrorist died out of the 30k people? It’s problematic not to mention it
100 dead terrorists among 30,000 murdered are 300 collateral murdered victims for every damn terrorist murderer. A very high number of innocent victims impossible to justify
You just made this up or you just listen to what h*mas are saying..
Nope, that’s from the official toll published by the UN
STOP THE WAR
CONSIDER PEACE
No politics, please…
Why are israel acting like the victims as if they haven’t been sending “October rain” to p@lestine for the last 76 years?
From the day H@mas control g@za they sent massive “rocket rains” to Israel.. non stop… they could kill many Israeli if not the Iron dome that protect Israel from rockets..
that doesn’t answer my question. These rockets are made with barely any resources whereas the missiles sent by israel are funded by the us and do way more damage. Not the mention the illegal settlements. But keep denying the truth
Are you justifying the events of October 7th then?
Please don’t just cherry pick one date and whitewash everything Israel has been doing for the past half a decade at least. You only care for what affects you NOW, but this has been going on for even before you were born, and it’s relentless. The israeli government have so much blood on their hands yet they’re great at playing the victim. I feel so sorry for the civilians on both sides who are brainwashed in to thinking that their side is right while the opposition is wrong, and this is down to the government who create these atrocities for… Read more »
Don’t think I’m brainwashed – that’s just the easy excuse for you to deal with my opinions.
I’m asking this question about October 7th because when people try to put it in context, it means they’re justifying the events that day.
H@mas is not the Palestinians.
H@mas want violence and war.
No, we put it into context because when you put people in an open air prison for 76 years OF COURSE there are gonna be consequences. You’re daft for thinking you could just t*rrorise an entire nation without resistance
Didn’t say that. Just making sure we’re all on the same page the P@lestinians have been living through october 7th since 1948
Just ban Israel from Eurovision and any other country involved in any form of war.
It should have been like this a long time ago already.
Ban your life maybe… get over yourself
then eurovision would have only like 20 countries left to compete
Ban the UK too? They’re attacking in Yemen.
Only because the government is in the pockets of the Israeli government
That’s quite antisemitic, thinking once again how we rule the world.
so ban Ukraine?
No offense to Wiwi, but I doubt that showing a bunch of leftist tweets is necessarily an accurate representation of the issue and I say that as a literal socialist. Furthermore, any speculation is unwarranted until we’ve, you know, heard the song.
I also kind of dislike the implications that Eurovision was nice and apolitical Heaven before Jamala arrived. It’s a song contest in the first year of which Germany sent a song by a Jewish Holocaust survivor. It was never – and I mean never – apolitical.
I’m right wing and I support them. We need to put our own countries first rather than sending money to Israel.
I think, you should put yourself first.
From what I know the EBU already gave their blessing to the song.. the music video going to break the internet for sure.. we already have a winner.
This is going to be the center of attention of this year ESC
not if we turn the TV off for 3 minutes.
You know you wont, and everyone wont… everyone will watch this performance we all knows that.. 🙂
Everyone will want to see the Israeli performance… the EBU knows what they doing…
Youre replying to your own messages now.

No, only geno cide apologists like you
