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.
