Is the voting opened to the world ?Well, genocide aside, you have to respect Israelis level in organization. Obviously, every Israeli outside Israel is voting 20 times for their singer.
"You are booing our singer. Watch this space then". They will probably win this shit..
Music Eurovision 2024
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
They get a vote, yes, the same as a single one of the participating countries.
So who are you all supporting tomorrow and why is it Greece.
Yep. It is 20 votes per phone number. And USA can vote too.
Israel will destroy in televoting. If they get something from jury, they will win this.
@nimic , can countries outside competition vote?
Edit: i just checked. Yes, they can.
Hmm if all those protesters around the US finds out about this, they won't win.
They can't do shit. You can't vote against someone.
Also "rest of the world" acts as one country, so they don't count more than Albania or anyone else.
The can vote for someone else
I thought they were all boycotting it? Organizers would love it - presumably there's a charge to vote?
How pathetic and immature can you get.
I think Israel is going to cruise this unless the jury has it out for them. A lot of the other artists have given themselves a massive competitive disadvantage with their behaviour.
Humourously I would like to add that if Israel winning means "the end of ESC" then that's a win, not a loss, so let's go!

Any little opposition shown to Israel is worth it. They shouldn't be there in the first place.
Israel are the favourites to win the public vote, who knows who’s going to win
Austria look good
Looks like the Netherlands might have been... disqualified? Voluntarily withdrawn? Or possibly neither. But they're starting jury performance now, and the Netherlands aren't on the schedule. I guess they could always show the jury the semi final performance, but I bet this means they won't be performing tomorrow.
Allegedly, someone in the Israeli contingent made fun of the Dutch entrants parents being killed and he hit one of them.
So, they’ve stopped him from going on in the rehearsals.
Give over.
Who was stopped from going into rehearsals? The Dutch entrant or the Israeli?
Well this is all going about as well as expected from the EBU.
Now, this is Eurovision.
Oh people can get very pathetic and immature. For an example, I just saw a video of an israeli journalist going towards the Dutch area yelling "Mr. Klein, where were yoi, we missed you on the stage". Before that I saw two members of the Israeli delegation taking selfies of themselves laughing, while making sure Joost Klein was in the background. They even added "he doesn't like us" as the caption. Proper pathetic and immature that.
Yeah, that really wasn’t clear was it?
I can just imagine my English teacher standing behind me saying what you said …. but in a tone that made me think ”she’s going to hit me any second now”
Said it in the Israeli/Palestine thread, they’ve got away with so much for so long, they feel immune and entitled.
Not really into Eurovision that much (the voting used to be funny but now it’s ridiculous) but if all the other acts refused to come on stage, that would be worth watching. Eurovision made the comp political, so can’t complain about it when contestants do.
I would too and say speak properlyYeah, that really wasn’t clear was it?
I can just imagine my English teacher standing behind me saying what you said …. but in a tone that made me think ”she’s going to hit me any second now”
how the feck do Israel win the public vote? If that happens the world is officially fecked
Agreed
Wtf. No wonder the Dutch contestent decked someone. Should have hit that journo as well.
Creating a us/them scenario they only need like 5-10% on their side because there's 25 (?) options on the other side. It's smart.
It’s not vile abuse if it’s justified. She chose to represent a country that oppresses, occupies and murders Palestinians and has done for decades.
We've got Norwegian christian conservatives bragging on Twitter that they've never watched Eurovision, but they've got their whole family voting 20 times for Israel. The sad irony (or hypocrisy) is that these are people who have actively opposed any equality for gays, and now they're throwing money at an event which has been embraced by the queer community more than any other (except Pride).
It’s only the bookmakers view ….Israel 25/1 to win jury vote ….4/6 to win public televote
If i was a journo with some followers I'd start posting things like "Eurovision: conservative Christians finally embrace homosexuality". Just to take the piss.
why are Norwegian Christian conservatives voting for Israel?
They love Israel. God's people, the holy land, judgement day, all that stuff.
They're just rubbing it in at this point. Proper bully behavior.
Yep. I think the tend to forget that they don't give a feck about their christ.
It's not quite that, but this is the current top story on NRK.no, the national broadcaster:
The guy on the left is a very vocal (and popular) left-wing politician, the guy on the right is one of those Christian conservatives, and the editor of a Christian media organization. And if you're a Christian media organization in Norway you're definitely on the fringe already.
Weird. Gods people according to the Jews only. And the Holy Land is the centre of three faiths last time I checked.
These people love Israel despite the atrocities they are committing. Tells you a lot about these Norwegian Christian Conservatives then.
But his point is the world is fecked because so many are voting Israel.
Christ can't come back before the Jews control the holy land, or something like that. This is a thing in the US too, and probably all over Europe. It's insane.
