Eurovision 2025 has officially concluded, but the controversy over the results is likely to be a big talking point for weeks and months to come.
Although Austria celebrated a major triumph, with JJ’s “Wasted Love” taking pole position thanks to topping the jury vote, Israel’s second-place finish overall and televote win has caused concerns amongst some — particularly in Spain.
Spanish broadcaster RTVE has requested an audit into the country’s televoting, which saw Spain awarding Israel 12 points in the grand final. They reportedly called for clarification regarding the voting process and have hinted intention to address what they perceive as inconsistencies or external influences on the outcome.
Meanwhile, the country’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has become the first world leader to outright call for Israel to be banned from the Eurovision Song Contest.
Spain’s Prime Minister calls for Israel’s Eurovision ban
In a pointed intervention at the launch of a Cotec Foundation report on the cultural and creative industries, Sánchez called for Israel to be excluded from the Eurovision Song Contest — drawing a comparison to Russia’s expulsion following its invasion of Ukraine.
“We cannot apply double standards in culture,” he stated.
“If no one put their hands on their heads when the invasion of Russia began and they were required to leave international competitions and not participate in Eurovision, neither, therefore, should Israel.”
El compromiso de España con los derechos humanos debe ser constante y coherente. También desde Europa.
— Pedro Sánchez (@sanchezcastejon) May 19, 2025
Si se le exigió a Rusia no participar en Eurovisión tras la invasión de Ucrania, tampoco debería hacerlo Israel.
No podemos permitir dobles estándares, tampoco en la cultura. pic.twitter.com/1G6g2bIE5E
The Prime Minister also defended RTVE’s broadcasts of Eurovision 2025. During the second semi-final, Spain’s commentators mentioned the civilian death toll in Gaza and reminded audiences of the petition RTVE has brought to the EBU to debate Israel’s participation in the contest.
Sánchez affirmed that Spain’s position on international law and human rights must remain “constant and coherent.”
His comments were echoed by Minister for Digital Transformation and Civil Service, Óscar López, who added, “RTVE has been on the right side of history.”
There have been repeated calls from musicians, fans, unions, human rights activists, and other notable figures for Israel’s removal from Eurovision since the beginning of the Israel-Gaza war in October 2023. The conflict has seen more than 52,000 people killed in Gaza, with multiple international organisations accusing Israel of committing war crimes and acts of genocide.
The war began when Hamas carried out an attack in southern Israel on 7 October 2023, during which 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
External audit over the results of the Spanish public vote
RTVE is set to formally request an audit from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) following concerns over the public vote in the Eurovision 2025 final. The controversy stems from the fact that Israel received the top score — 12 points — from Spain’s televote, despite earning no points from the Spanish jury.
RTVE’s decision comes after receiving a report from the EBU outlining the total number of votes cast by the Spanish public during the final: over 142,000 in total, including online submissions, text messages, and phone calls. However, the broadcaster argues that the data lacks crucial detail, such as the specific distribution of votes among competing countries, which prevents a thorough verification of the results.
According to the figures provided, Spanish viewers cast 7,283 votes via phone, 23,840 via SMS, and 111,565 through the official Eurovision app. These numbers contrast sharply with the data from the first semi-final — where Israel was not competing — during which public participation was significantly lower (774 phone calls, 2,377 SMS and 11,310 through the app). This has fuelled speculation about coordinated efforts to influence the public vote, especially in light of past admissions by Israeli officials.
For instance, David Saranga, acting director of public diplomacy at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, acknowledged last year that his department had actively engaged with pro-Israel communities abroad to encourage voting during the contest. The “organised and dedicated” campaign resulted in 323 points in the televote last year, placing the song “Hurricane” in second place in the televote and fifth overall.
RTVE is not alone in its unease. Iceland’s RÚV will also request more information from the EBU over its 2025 televote results to ensure greater transparency in the vote-counting process, as confirmed by the broadcaster’s Director General, Stefán Eiríksson.
Request to reform the televoting system
RTVE has also confirmed it will formally call for a review of Eurovision’s televoting system, raising doubts about its fairness in politically charged contexts.
The broadcaster argues that allowing viewers to cast up to 20 votes creates room for coordinated campaigns and political influence, distancing Eurovision from its cultural and artistic focus.
Spanish media reports that other countries, yet unamend, are also making the same request.
Tension between RTVE and the EBU
Tensions between RTVE and the EBU had already escalated earlier in the week following the comments over Gaza made by the country’s commentators.
This prompted the EBU to warn of possible fines, should the statements be repeated in the grand final.
RTVE answered those warnings by expressing support for the right of its commentators to report freely, criticising the EBU for interfering:
“We express our concern about the threat of the EBU. The European Broadcasting Union has warned of financially sanctioning RTVE if the conflict in Gaza is mentioned again during Eurovision.
“We claim the right of our commentators Julia Varela and Tony Aguilar to do so freely and responsibly. We condemn any attempt at interference and defend RTVE’s commitment to truthful information, especially in the face of events of international relevance.”
On the night of the grand final, Spanish TV aired a message minutes before the official broadcast supporting Palestinian rights, stating: “When human rights are at stake, silence is not an option. Peace and Justice for Palestine.”
Next year, Israel should belong to the big 5 instead of Spain.
Yeah, keep dreaming.
So when the Spanish prime minister himself calls for excluding a country it is apolitical? When the Spanish broadcaster includes anti-Israeli messages during the broadcast it is also apolitical? And, finally, I just don’t understand why the moderators censor my comments time after time. I never use a foul language, and I thought that this blog promoted free speech.
he should concentrate on more serious matters than a campfest
Sorry to hear that the death of 26,000 children in Gaza is not serious enough for you.
Politiqueo
but what is this controversy: “Israel received the top score — 12 points — from Spain’s televote, despite earning no points from the Spanish jury”. Look at Poland, namely: Ukraine received the top score — 12 points — from Poland’s televote, despite earning no points from the Polish jury. The reason is lots of ukrainian immigrants in poland, such televote makes no sense and is completely unfair towards other competitors. ukraine will always win in poland, every year
It’s no different than Poland doing so well in the UK vote. I lived in the UK for years. I don’t think there’s thousands of Brits singing along to ‘Gaja’! The diasporas, especially from Eastern Europe, do vote for the home country. Yes, it is against the spirit of the competition and, yes, it does need to be dealt with. I’m not sure how but maybe telling people over and over “This show is about bringing us together – vote for the song that’s actually your favourite”.
As others pointed out we don’t know for sure if other countries also did something with the voting we only know for sure UK did not : D
I don’t think the Dutch broadcaster has the money to buy millions of add’s… and I’m pretty sure sure the government will never ever fund it.
I never saw any sign of a Israeli campaign. But I did see an ad urging me to vote for Spain.
We literally had Israel ads in the official Eurovision livestream lol
They were literally projecting images of her across Times Square for a week. It made news everywhere.
So what? That could only slightly influence the Rest of World votes. It didnt contravene with any current EBU directives.
No, but is it necessary? It feels like showing off, look our governments has so much money, we can promote our song anywhere we want.
just like Tommy Cash in Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Germany, and Poland lol
Maybe the big 5 if they believe in fairness will wave their automatic right to be in th final surely that is the most un fair of all buying your way into the final!!!
Basically, without the financial support of the Big 5, the competition would disappear. My country wouldn’t be able to afford the high costs.
Perhaps it would be good if all countries split the bill equally, and countries that couldn’t afford it were excluded from the competition. This would significantly reduce the number of participants and surely increase the level of competition.
No not disappear, because imo a simple TV-studio ESC would still be nice to watch, a smaller competition with less politics involved.
I received add’s and more than one, with the song, the number of the song and equests to vote.
Renowned American record executive Scooter Braun who discovered Justin Bieber years ago has some very unexpected and enlightening words to European TV executives:

The smartest words in the music ecosystem of today !!
From thean who abused Kesha , sounds like you support abusers of power propaganda Pami
So on the same day EBU disqualified Joost, they send a warning to KAN, even though their misconduct was proven at that moment.
https://x.com/JamesMakesStuff/status/1924740722021838966
You love comparing ORANGES to APPLES…. very concise 🙂
I would for sure not be in Österdahls or the others positions when this information will reach the biggest medias around Europe
End the ability to vote multiple times pure and simple though I’m sure EBU wants the money from all those votes . Also expel Israel until the war crimes stop , Netanyahu is both targeting medics and journalists just like Putin’s Russia which is rightfully disqualified but also deliberately starving people
The amount of Uninformed and Uneducated people in this forum is staggering….
Please enlighten me propaganda Pami or rather feed me one of your governments taking points or.accusations of supporting terror
I am actually capable of reading and watching news including Israel’s own Haaretz that bravely pint out the truth while the government tries to silence it
If you want a more balanced viewpoint, try reading the Jerusalem Post. If you are reading only Haaretz, you may as well be reading Al Jazeera.
Many decisions need to be taken. ONE – Kick out the countries that are involved in heavily mediatized conflicts (victims or aggressors). I know it’s sad but it’s the best solution to come back to a “fair” competition”. TWO – If they don’t want to kick out Israel and Ukraine, at least change the voting system. Allow people to vote up to 20 times but only 5 times for a same country. This way it would be a little bit more faire and give the chance to other countries to fight against those surreal televote points that Israel and Ukraine… Read more »
Ukraine’s televote points were never unjust, only Israel and Russia’s.
20 votes are fine but only 1 time for the same country. Otherwise you can just buy multiple simcards from different countries and still make an impact.
OMG! It’s all so surreal. I recommend reading EBU’s letters 24/25 to Kant.
https://www.eldiario.es/vertele/analisis/eurovision-israel-uer-documentos-internos-muestran-eludido-propias-medidas-evitar-crisis_1_12311078.html
Serving selective and manipulative analysis for a biased agenda. KANT are no angels, they probably bended the rules sometimes and tested the limits of what was allowed, partly because of ignorance and partly as an act of intransigence. They felt like they were misunderstood and picked on. In any case, the vast majority of countries don’t want them there whether they say it out loud or behind closed doors. We’ll wait and see if not wanting a certain country inside a club is enough to get it out.
The word KANT was banned from Eurovision!!!!…. Ask Miriana 🙂 🙂 (It’s KAN !!)
It’s surreal that they kicked out Joost in the blink of an eye for some allegation that turned out to be thin air, in the meantime they literally documented the behavior of kan in an official letter and did nothing. It was really hard not to see it (kan is so proud of their behavior they were posting their videos harassing and heckling contestants all over X). Political song facilitated by a government? No action. Heckling and harassing contestants? No action. Voting manipulation and propaganda campaigns? No action… and they dare to say this contest is non-political, when the decision… Read more »
It was highly political what the representatives of Greece and the Netherlands did during the press conference last year; for such behavior, they should have already been expelled from the Eurovision.If you are applying for Eurovision, you should not have prejudices against other representatives at Eurovision just because you disagree with the views of the country they come from.
Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS is also asking for a debate with the EBU on the “increasingly political nature of the contest”
Brilliant
For the first time we agree Darren2…. Brilliant!! Heavy Fines to political instigators like RTVE (they already got one), VRT and co. 🙂
And a medal in government propaganda to you Pami
The EBU has already opposed Netanyahu (back in 2019), it will also oppose Sánchez.
Martin green, director of the ESC released a statement yesterday following some broadcasters’ complaints and basically told them they are barking on the wrong tree.
I’m sure Sancho Padres’ next step is to convene an emergency summit of the European Union.
Barking up
Thank you for showing the world who you really are by spreading falsehoods. THANK YOU
No, thank YOU for being so full of yourself.
The ‘world’ is watching.
SERIOUSLY GIRLFRIEND, you’re out of this ‘world’ jeez
In other news, Croatia’s Marko Bosnjak thinks that not only Isrrael sbould be banned from ESC, but also any country involved in a war (Ukraine!).
I-
Poison ivy me thinks. What a jerk. No principles, stand, just political expediency, self indulgence and self adulation.
He’s not wrong though. Since 2022 Ukraine gets at least 150 points from public due to a huge diaspora in Europe and sympathy votes. While I do support Ukraine, I think it messes heavily with the televoting.
Except that Ukraine are always great. ALWAYS! Unlike another blue&yellow country that wants to win every freeking year!
*Ukraine’s songs
after the war the only good song ukraine is the one from 2024 and the rest is trash counting on votes of mercy
The worst one of them all. Apart from that Jery chick proudly wearing a Banderaciaga sweater, it’s lyrics are ridiculously awful…and “celebrate” one fictional character and one religious fanatic.
So did turkey too when it used to be in it. I think only the invaders should be disqualified unfair for victims to be victimised more
I loved Jeff Colby. Everybody did.
Of course Ukraine should be out of a contest too. I mean, I feel sorry for them but all of this has a huge impact on the intergrity of televotes. By not wanting to take any decision due to fear of being too political, EBU is litteraly letting the contest die in a political disaster… That’s why I said a few days ago that I would be okay with the contest ending now. There’s no point continuing if the results have absolutely no meaning for Europe.
Well, I sympathise more with Ukraine and Israel. Ukraine is literally getting invaded, while Israel has no issues with casualties of more than 50.000+ on the other side and refusing aid to them.
Oh damn I’m a moron. Meant, Ukraine THAN Israel not AND.
The lapsus is from god dear!!! Your heart says one thing while your mouth(/keyboard) says another…. You are excused. (yet, still a moron for saying this)
I feel so sad for our beloved Eurovision. Clearly many things need to change.
How about not fueling drama? If it weren’t for the constant political statements and bullying, Israel would be somewhere around 10th place and we wouldn’t be dealing with this.
You know very well that even without political statements and no bullying they would still have won the televote this year.
Yes, let’s just deny reality. An excellent suggestion
When will Wiwibloggs make a statement and stop covering anything positive to do with Israel?? Please!
Well, there is nothing positive. The country is in war, it sent again a song that was clearly politically driven and it caused chaos with televote through organized media and political campaigns with radical right wingers across Europe. Or, you find this positive perhaps?
Ukraine does this every year, the jury votes politically, you don’t have a problem with that.
This is positive, people are uniting against the left…
I can give you one Larissa that will cheer your day: IsRAEL IsREAL !!! 🙂
Have t you got more forums to go and full with Netanyahu propaganda?
Why do you have to support leftist propaganda, circus performances, and LGBT trash every year? This is called destroying the competition.
Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t make them a bot. Are you a Gen-Z by any chance? The real world isn’t TikTok where anyone you don’t like can be blocked and disappear.
We don’t support terrorists sociopath just innocent Human lives way too many of which as re being lost as we speak
innocent lmao
🙂 🙂 🙂 FINALLY FOUND HOW ISRAEL WON TELEVOTE IN SPAIN 🙂 🙂 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T75n52_xjy8
PUT SUBTITLES IN YOUR LANGUAGE !!!!!!!
From the extreme right wing of course
OK, this is a good sign of post season rebuilding in the EBU maybe
We’re only two days after the final. Things can change in the meantime.
Stop spouting lies and nonsense when Spain’s televote for Israel is clearly to go against this man, whose close people – wife, brother, ministers – are involved in corruption cases. And who came to power without being elected by the people and continues to govern without having been the most voted by the people.
VERY WELL SAID Papadopoulos!! BRAVO
And what does it have to do with Eurovision voting? Majority of Europeans are enraged with average Israeli song being chosen as a fans’ favourite, even from countries which historically never voted for them and juries gave nothing or just some low points? And you wanna tell me that Israel won in Sweden, Australia, Spain etc etc?! Stop kidding yourself.
Historically there wasn’t this level of bullying, and thus there wasn’t this level of sympathy votes. You can’t police what motivation people have for voting one way or another. It doesn’t make the voting invalid.
Watch the video I posted about Spain televotes…. Don’t eat while you are watching… (you may get chocked from the surprise) 🙂
The jury voted politically and were bribed this year. Ukraine gives 5 points to pro-Russian Tommy Cash. Very high scores for weak French songs. Strange 12 points for Latvia and the UK. Oh, and Estonia gets 97 points…..
stop embarrassing yourself, Israel’s song is the best song this year but of course people like you prefer trashy circus songs. The jurors didn’t vote for Israel because they vote politically wtf

In a democracy, the one who wins the most support and, overall, garners the most votes from citizens governs. The opposite of what you want is called a dictatorship, my friend.
There are many of you, unfortunately, countries like the USA or Israel are governed by the extreme right.
Interesting how you arrived to such twisted conclusion from reading his post… Words makes wonders…
That is fake news from a extreme right wing funded witch hunt which has found NOTHING. Without being elected ? Do you know how coalitions work ? You should do your belovef PP is in them with vox at local level
the left does this all the time, lies, and spreads propaganda; they want to destroy Europe and allow Muslims to commit more and more crimes.
Malta advertising on Grindr – COOL !!
Israel advertising on Youtube – MANIPULATION / CRIME !!
Can you guys be more comic (than you already are??)
Don’t be disingenuous. The question is who paid for those campaigns.
There is no doubt about who paid for Israel’s campaign. You can see the size of the campaign and the level of sophistication, with the ad translated into the languages ??of the target countries.
Do you have any proof that the Maltese government did the same?
How it’s relevant?…. Go and find out yourself who paid Grindr… Sure not Miriana!!
Most likely it was her record label. Although I don’t agree with this behavior, I don’t put it on the same level as Israel. Here we are talking about a gen@cidal government, directly financing the advertising campaign, with the intention of spreading pure propaganda.
Some commenters here are not worth engaging with.
Why Jonas?…. (Using J00st Klein’s approach to Eden last year)
and one and over and over again word PROPAGANDA, this is what you helpers of terrorists are doing, go, go to Palestine, they will give you a reward in the form of being thrown off the roof
I can change the word propaganda for the word hasbara. Is that better for you?
Enlight us rjplopes – what is hasbara?…. 🙂
Okay, you’re playing dumb. But here goes: Hasbara means “explanation” and is also a euphemism for propaganda.
So…. What’s your point?… Then what is the C O I in the UK? You always like to make storms in a cup of tea?
My point is: stop using the ESC as a mechanism to whitewash the atrocities you are committing.
It’s in broad day light – and it’s called D E F E N S E!!
I recall there was peace on 06/10… Something happened 1 day later… and the audacity to ask accountability from the V I C T I M???… (put your weight and energy on the P E R P E T R A T O R)
Sorry, but this VICTIM is being used by propaganda and is fully aware of it. If someone is bringing dirty politics to ESC it’s we all know who.
Any of the consequences you are frustrated about ask the P E R P E T R A T O R S to answer you!! Go on, show us you can! C O W A R D
This competition has always been political, Ukraine only showed the blind that it is in 2022.
So she deserves it Mike?
Defence murdering medics , journalists and 10000s of children. You are inhumane and a propagandist
I found Palestinians very friendly and welcoming people so yeah I would recommend going there.
Excellence Center in Hebron runs amazing exchange programs
Tell how friendly they are to Kfir Bibas, 10 month old (R I P), murd3r3d in the tunnels… In this center they can exchange not programs but H O S T A G E S.
Helpers of terrorists? By pointing out facts that 100000s of innocent civilians including. One third children are dead and every day of the Eurovision contest the slaughter didn’t stop.including a hospital and the most journalists killed anywhere. You sound like an apologist and defender of crimes against humanity. We don’t support terrorists just innocent life
Don’t lie again… There is NO gen@cide!! (just invented narative to defame Israel), especially when the G @ Z @ population grew 1.7% – last year ALONE !! (source I lready provided below)… Now explain your Pr0p@g@nda claim…. Go ahead – We are all waiting…
Again: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and United Nations Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights say there is a gen@cide.
Go to the websites of these organizations, I can’t post the links because the comment is always waiting for approval.
These are wep0nized organizations – baring 22 substantial Arab countries with an agenda – bullying 1 (only 1) little… Jewish state. Capisci?
LOL, they are “wep0nized” because they don’t go along with Israel’s version of events.You must really believe that the rest of the world is made up of nothing but fools.
Get one thing into your head: you have already lost the propaganda war. Most people no longer believe you. It is impossible for you to hide the c@rn@ge and atr0cit1es you are committing.
Most people don’t give a sh^t about Islam’s war against Palestine because it’s none of their business. But, of course, the leftists want to let dirty immigrants into Europe so that they can spread the Islamic propagation and be able to commit cr^mes in Europe
Wow I’m reporting that racist evil comment , sounds like a true nazi
Why is the utterly racist comment not censored by wiwblogs ?
Why are they banning for the truth?
Where are the H O S T A G E S??? (If one wants to stop the c0nflict). What are they doing there in the first place?….
Try to contact The HAM ASS customer service! They sure knows why it’s continuing – when it can stop as we speak…
Netanyahu has made quite a few die, the families have been calling for ceasefire for apver a year and are ignored
keep repeating leftist lies
Weaponized organizations FF sake. You really a re the voice of Netanyahus propaganda machine to cover up war crimes and like him are pretty odious
Same as Russia never invaded Ukraine. They call it „ friendly intervention”.
The most S T U P I D comment in this forum !! You won the gold medal !! I can’t recall civilian H O S T A G E S r@ped and brutally murd3r3d in tunn3ls in Russia… Do YOU(!) Gold medalist??…. What are they doing there in the first place???????
No propagandist, all your comments are the most stupid and sickening, besides your fellow countryman Guriza expousing utter racism above
Wow are you Ben gvir lying sociopath?
Wait, Malta advertised on Grindr? Honestly, slay
Can you have less empathy for millions of people than you already do ?
Greece Malta and Estonia also advertised, you can find it on the internet lmao
Again: who paid their campaigns? We know who paid for Israel.
There is no information anywhere that this is from the government, we will calmly wait for what the EBU says
Yes there is. Go check the url I posted.
Google’s Ad Transparency website confirms that it was paid by the Israeli Government Advertising Agency.
While you refer to dirty immigrant terrorists for a whole population like an utter fascist .
Off Topic again.
What the Hell Just Happened was co-written with a Eurovision winner. I should have known this already, but due to songwriters getting ZERO recognition in the modern Eurovision era, I didn’t.

You have to put your grandmother on a leash. It’s dangerous for her to be out on the loose.

Off topic.
Nemo’s new song, the one they did as interval, is lyrically the same story and theme as The Code. Why cover the same subject again, so soon?
I guess one is a happy celebration, the other a not-so-happy struggle.
instead of recording songs, he should go and heal from his mental illness
Art IS healing
Love Nemo, loved the code, was glad they won in 2024.
But that interval act and that outfit was just…….yeahhhh :/

You’ve already posted this multiple times…
You’re repeating yourself. Be original.
Whe you will STOP lying about vote manipulation 🙂 (as the was none!!)
Now you call facts lies. Get it into your little head that when the Israeli government funds massive campaigns on social media, it’s vote manipulation. They admitted that they did it.And let’s see if the in-depth investigation, requested by the different broadcasters, won’t reveal worse things.
ok, let the jury check how much money they took from some countries for votes
And the mud slinging continues…
all day you write about how Israel cheats and other countries play fair, people like you are pathetic. for your community it doesn’t matter if countries cheat or not, you just have a problem because it was ISRAEL
ask what the Poles think about Justyna only getting 17 points… isn’t that cheating….
Some juries probably don’t like everything and the kitchen sink type of performance. That’s a valid criticism about Poland.
Poor Israel, always the victim.
you play the victim, other countries are just cheating, it’s good, and you only attack Israel, you are ordinary trash without dignity.
No dignity in killing babies…..
this is what muslims do when they have s%x with 9 year olds kids
You’re really racist.
I am islamophobic, there is nothing wrong with that. I write the truth what they do to young girls, if you don’t believe me go look on youtube reddit or talk to people who left islam
Dehumanizing an entire group is clearly a n@zi tactic.
Your comment about you being Islamophobic is as disgusting as reading that you are anti-Semitic.
And the only trash here is you, with his racist comments and foul language.
If being trash means considering women as people and not supporting sex with underage girls, I can be trash, no problem.

More irony. Accusing others of projection…
It is interesting that TOmmy Cash has connections with Russians, even pro-Russian ones, but Eurofans did not seem to have a big problem with it, while Mariam Shengelia was hated by Eurofans for rumors that she is pro-Russian (which is not true). Even Ukrainian musical YouTubers said not to vote for Tommy because of his Russian connections, yet the jury from Ukraine gave him 5 points. This only shows how corrupt this country is.
Now the tactic is to throw mud in all directions to overshadow the actions of the Israeli government? It reeks of despair.
aha yes, because after all, Israel is bad and everyone else is good, you are pathetic
?
Yes, gen@cide is bad. Yes, the Israeli government is doing it. Yes, the Israeli government manipulated the vote as a propaganda operation. No other competing country did the same.
hey hey careful, being against g3n0cide is anti-Semitic
Yes, apparently defending human decency these days is being anti-Semitic. The twists and turns of the world.
hahaha but you’re brainwashed, you keep repeating propaganda, k@ll yourself
Oh the irony! The Hasbara bot talking about propaganda.
go suck muslim cock lmao
How classy of you!
Why are you whitwashing t 3 rr 0 ri sm?? And you don’t need to lie (there is no gen@cide !! just a narrative invention) to make your point! Neither Vote manipulation!! Grow up and be more substantial.
Oh please explain how there is no g3n0cide
No – YOU (!) convince us that there is one…. especially when the G @ z @ population grew 1.7 % – in the last year alone…. Go on!

Israeli government caring about comment section of Wiwibloggs is a whole new level of crazy, exceeding even the supposed fake applause from speakers in the arena, lol.
Always better than LGBT who lick Muslim asses
You seem pleasant, Guriza
He seems to have a fixation on those kinds of things. There is a lot of repressed desire there.
Takes one with experience – to know that…. 🙂
What connections? He used to perform a lot in Russia but he stopped while ago. He has connections all over Europe and world. He and Joost Klein were already best buds before Netherlands chose him to participate. I understand Ukraine totally but not evey tiny detal means someone is bad automatically.
This would hold some water if Netanyahu didn’t jump into bed with a hard right homophobic political party a few years ago to stay in power…
Off topic because all of this would not even be a discussion if the EBU would have morals and actual care for the contest, but two days later and it still baffles me how Estonia got 3rd with that atrocious performance. Second with the public and SO high with the juries as well? Almost unbelievable. I’ve barely heard such awful vocals at Eurovision. Even the juries seem to loose their taste in music? These parody performances are not the direction I want Eurovision to go to.
Agree with that, but unfortunately there are elements of the public and the judges who like this type of performance. As long as they don’t bend the rules there’s not much you can do.
Yeah I agree. The televote is trash (always has been, always will be) and this year was no exception, but the fact that juries placed Estonia so high baffled me.
To all the Hysterical drama queens, abnoxious self entitled and completely ignorants..The E B U can not (and will not) ban the participation of Israel! Deal with it!! And no – it is not an issue of economic sponsoring whatsoever….(let alone, it helps..). The E B U promissed a concise conversation about, most likely to settle and adjust operational cues with unbriefed broadcasters executives (and governors). The subject is far more complex (for the uni-brain cells in this forum..). Let alone some recent political unfolding mattters (well reported by the Guardian), but the E B U is in need and… Read more »
LOL! Israel cannot prevent the use of these technologies, because despite the patents, it agreed to their inclusion in standards, thus giving up many prerogatives. Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Another KNOW NOTHING !!! Israel as propriatary – can decide to stop supporting upgrades, patches, compatibility and other features to a vulnerability level of obsolescence. Say hello to Equifax, Heartland Payment Systems, Yahoo, Target, and Marriott, all of whom experienced major security breaches due to unpatched software or systems. Smile now rjplopes 🙂
You really are silly. Regarding technologies integrated into standards, there is nothing the Israelis can do. They cannot prevent its use by anyone. As for the software examples, do you really think the companies in question would give up revenue because Israel was kicked out of Eurovision? If you believe that, I have some stuff to sell you. You really don’t know how these things work. LOLOLOLOLOL
Are you on medication?… You can continue dreaming but Israel will not be kicked out of Eurovision (or better – Israel may kick the E B U down the technology drain). Nope, Don’t sell anything cause I don’t buy from dishonest nor scam people like you (pretending to be aka “expert” (LOL) – but obviously you convinced us all – you are not, especially not a developer). You have no clue how these systems REALLY works. And to help you a bit in your engineering education (not sure you can grasp it) – I offer you for FREE, read a… Read more »
LOL, you really know nothing about these things.
It’s worth continuing only with professionals. You are not one!
I absolutely agree with the Spanish PM. Israel is not Europe, but that is not an argument for me. What is the main argument is the violence that the Israeli state inflicts on the Palestinians. Moreover, it is clear that Israel advertises a lot, all the way up to the US, to vote for their song. Therefore, it is evident they are using the ESC for propaganda purposes. On top of that, the number of public votes that Israel obtained is really suspect, to put it mildly. And that for the third year in a row. It is time to… Read more »
3 years in a row hahahaha add the years 2022, 2021 and 2018 to that, clown.
It is the moment for all broadcasters in Europe to unite and ask for an investigation and more transparency. Yle and VRT already are reacting because they’re questioning the authenticity of the televoting results from their respective countries. It wouldn’t be the first time a country manipulate the voting, or at least try to. (cf. Azerbaijan).
Slovenia already asked last year and EBU did absolutely nothing.
Thank god for the jury vote saving this years final. As much as fans attack the jury system it’s providing balance in what will continue to be a politically charged event for the next few years. The fact that Israel & Ukraine both preposterously won their semis should signal to EBU that juries be reinstated, at least while these two wars are dragging on.
balance hahahahah voting politically and for talentless people like Tommy Cash giving 98 points
Spain is right.
🙂 🙂 🙂 FINALLY FOUND THE ISRAELI BOTS IN SPAIN 🙂 🙂 🙂

PUT SUBTITLES IN YOUR LANGUAGE !!!!!!!
Imma proudly claim my 25% Spanish heritage, now broadcasters get behind this message and unite and get that country OUT of the contest cuz the EBU surely won’t do a thing once more! Otherwise there won’t be a contest anymore to save. And before anyone claims me being any anti-whatever, I could not giving a flying F bout your religion, you could be zoroastrian for all I care. In the current climate that country does not belong in the contest, you can come back once you learn how to behave and treat other human beings with dignity and respect, thank… Read more »
Why do you think a state – needs your permission???…. Clown !!! Try to educate your parrot first 🙂 (Love those self entitled NOTHING!!)
Funny how people who claim they’re not anti-anything are usually the biggest
ISRAEL IS NOT EUROPE and does NOT stand for peace. Stay out of Eurovision!
Please, don’t use the geographic argument. It’s so lame and there are other, much more valid reasons why you wouldn’t want Israel in the competition.
LGBT also does not support peace and human rights.Stay out of Eurovision!
Hey, bot! At least try to use arguments that make sense.
Of course this argument makes sense, for example, calling names and whistling at innocent girls during Eurovision and bothering people at work with their senseless protests. If LGBT wants peace, they wouldn’t do such things.
Protesting the Israeli government’s attempt to whitewash gen@cide is not meaningless. It’s basic human decency, something that is apparently beyond your understanding.
Why are you whitwashing t 3 rr 0 ri sm?? And you don’t need to lie (there is no gen@cide !! just a narrative invention) to make your point! Grow up and be more substantial.
Several organizations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights say that it is geno@cide.
Israel is part of the eu broadcast, so in fact she is. As well in all other tournaments like soccer and athletics- were compete as part of Europe. You’re all so brainwashed, you cannot understand complicated conflict and the outcomes . Israel always believed in peace , but we will always defends our country from barbaric terorist . We compete at Eurovision Song Contest since 1973, way before lots of other countries join the competition. We part of ESC legacy, and we will continue send the best singers , and the best songs, which get high points. So deal with… Read more »
The hasbara bots are in full force.
if next year Israel sends a clown, the Eurofans will want his victory and will stop talking about expelling Israel from Eurovision
3 years in a row, Eurovision spoiled by clowns with no talent, but let’s cry for Israel lmao
I didn’t know Netanyahu could sing. Will be interesting to hear
When the public crowns you a winner, it’s much more than a victory, it’s a statement!
Israel deserves it so much! I have no doubt that next year Israel will reach the Top 5 again or even win. I’m also very happy that Israel didn’t win this year, because when you win, you have to host, and if Israel had won, it wouldn’t have been able to host, so what’s the point of winning? It’s better for Israel to win after the w@r is over.
People in a state of war don’t Que for hours outside the first Shake Shack restaurant in Tel Aviv ……
1 People have no problem with Ukraine, which every year receives a lot of votes due to the war. 2 Every year we have clowns who get high scores from the jury and massive points from the televote. 3 The people who vote (80% women) mostly vote for men. 4 But of course, it is all Israel’s fault.
False equivalence. None of these situations directly involve a government spending millions on social media campaigns.
As long as we have Israel and sorry but Ukraine, I cannot trust public vote. They have a lot of people living in any country even without buying votes. Jury came back in 2010s to stop domination of Turkey, Serbia, Russia and Greece But Jury is also not trustable. How come Estonia gets that high from jury when he couldn’t hit any notes? How was Poland second from last despite her vocals? If it is pure jury, can fun songs win? I think jury might be the answer but not the way it is. Juries have 0 accountability. There was… Read more »
Next week: his hot take on “The Masked Singer” and why it’s a metaphor for Western decline.
Let’s best throw out Israel and allow Palestine to participate, Andrew Tate will represent them and win Eurovision, and everyone will be happy.
Yay!! I love this idea!
Palestine can join ESC they’re in the EBU broadcast area, so sure. They can host in Jerusalem when they win 😉
Sublime
only men will be allowed to perform and women will be banned from entering lmao
Yeah Orthodox Jews also don’t like their women singing.
Palestine actually has a rich music industry that includes female singers such as Elyanna, Kamilya Jubran among others.
I mean tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing
WHAT IS THIS THING? P L A S T E L I N A????…. Art material can not broadcast anything… 🙂
Well you won’t find it if your spelling it as PLASELINA but PALESTINE can easily be found.
I’d like to know how different the result would have been had only one vote been allowed rather than 20.
I think that’s the crux of the data analysis some of the broadcasters are looking for… A curve of when votes come in during the 3hr window, layered with those who placed 20-voters for one country would yield good data also. I mentioned this last year before the shows even began because I thought the new rules could be (and likely would be) abused and used to game the system. I was right, and sadly it was very apparent that this could happen. EBU really need their butts kicked over this. All preventable… And… Worse… They did it again this… Read more »
Do you think they could eliminate the voters that voted 20 times for one particular country or cut it down to 1 to see what the results had have been instead, would probably give a fairer outcome.
Absolutely. Basic math. Highlighting multiple group votes from the same IP addresses could also be used BUT only as data analysis investigation to prove the idea. Rules were unlikely ‘broken’… They were just ‘gamed’ (abused) to manipulation a desired outcome. To be honest, the fandom game the result to a degree by voting 10-times for x and 5 times for Y etc. It dilutes the effect of the one-and-done traditional voter. EBU at fault. One-and-done voting with the ability to give a 1-2-3 placing on your submission gives everyone a fair shot at expressing preference and keep things true(r). Text;… Read more »
Then also Italy, Albania, Poland , Finland, Estonia would get a much lower score.
