I remember when we were allowed to have fun and enjoy things. I miss that.

Iceland nearly sent a Palestinian bloke (and were favourite in the odds when it looked like that would happen). Now that would have been fun.
I'd say the main problem is that there just aren't enough platforms for one to express one's views, if one has any, on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Before that is solved I'm afraid fun will have to take a back seat.Originally Posted by Spikey M
I suppose this is another blow for the 'keep sport and politics separate' crowd, possibly the world's densest subset.
If most of the newly minted Eurovision fans from the last 20 years flounce off because Israel win then it'll probably be a net win for the competition and we can all go back to lolling at the subtitles from the non-English songs and stop being so fucking earnest about largely dreadful music.
I blame Australia.
Israel should have sent Dana International back to fully break minds.
If they do win, I suspect nothing of note will happen. There will be twitter outrage and the likes, but other than the next one not actually being hosted in Israel, I don't think much will change.
Live rioting
More like live angry tweeting.
Israel should have the Russia treatment anyway.

Heads have gone.
Rumours going round that he punched a producer or maybe an Israeli delegate or a woman (who might also be one of the previous two roles) because they made a joke about his dead parents.
The police are involved though.
Dutch guy's out for threatening a Swede. I maintain that 2017 was the last great year of this and we've been hurtling downhill since
If I watch tonight, am I guaranteed drama? And I mean PROPER drama. Not gay people angry that their favourite song didn't win drama.
Is Jarvis Cocker attending?
I'd lean towards disappointment on the potential drama front.
At best you might get Just Stop Oil ruining someone's performance.
Hopefully they send another pair of feckless octogenarians.

Definitely not.
Haven’t you heard? There’s snipers on the roof.
I'm a twit
Might add to the drama. Some mook like Mika might turn up unannounced and get smoked on live tv. Guess it'll probably be on delay though.
This is where I'm at. Fuck knows about how Israel are going to do though really.
Israel 3/1 now
Israel, Ukraine, Switzerland and France.
£2.5 E/W on all of them.
Edit: Ukraine is actually £5 E/W.

I've got about 10 grand in running on fuck knows what. Good luck to us.
Lol at that canned applause for Israel.
A bit revealing from the Portuguese lass...
Makes sense.
She might be unforgettable but these lads are absolutely forgettable.
I wouldn't say no to this winning.
It never occurred to me Hooked On A Feeling was by Swedes despite the band being called Blue Swede.
This Nazi isn't running anywhere.
He's Rag Und Bone Mann
This Israeli song is absolute horseshit.
It really would be exceptionally funny if they won though.
A younger, more trollish Spikey would have chucked them a vote. Sadly the whole genocide thing puts a bit of a dampener on it.
Crowd are well up for the Spanish effort.
That is INCREDIBLY Eurovision.
Estonia
Estonian Chaz and Dave.
Brian Posehn on violin for the Estonians.
They should just give Estonia a spot every year. They get it
Ireland bringing it too.
What the fuck is this, Ireland? My ears are bleeding.
Latvia putting me to sleep.
Wrong said Fred can fuck off n'all.
Latvia never stood a chance after those last two
Greece not getting the memo and putting a proper good pop song in the competition. What the fuck
I read a cracking Israeli plant piece on how this is absolute horseshit along with a lot of the other prevailing language and it was probably more right than it was wrong.
Song was shit though so fuck having that win.
Spain winning with the audience
Yep, this is a UK entry alright.
Staging is quality but it's a horrendous song.
That was shit.
Setting up corridors for civilians to flee along, then bombing them is a war crime at a minimum and I don't object to the label genocide being used to describe it.
"We don't know how this will do". Yes we do, Graham. Shite.
The fuck is this?
