I didn't. I just hoped Israel would have won. Organisation dealing with next edition in Israel should be entertaining at least.
Sweden leading in the polls and Israel suddenly doing really well was dodgy as hell. Glad they didn't win.
I heard they put in a massive effort to get votes, all kinds of government agencies posting on social media how to vote for Israel (even though you're not allowed to vote on your own countries entry), they supposedly ran ads in European countries during the voting time frame and I have also seen a pic of a huge ad on times Square (yes, the one in the USA) calling people to vote for Israel.
Are there photos of this? That'd be kinda fun to see
Here's two urls about them advertising
on youtube: https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2025/05/18/israel-eurovision/
and times square: https://www.thejournal.ie/irish-vote-israel-eurovision-6378306-May2024/
It's kinda hard finding sources since you have to scroll through pages of english language news sources that report exclusively on israel with articles on how the european population collectively stand with israel. So obvious the propaganda if you're not in their bubble.
Ooh, good point.
