The Israeli singer looked so worried when he almost won, and so glad & relieved when Bulgaria got more points in the last second. If he had won, that would have meant another increase in #antisemitism. It was so surreal how Israel was leading the count, but you could only hear booing in the background.
I don't think I'll watch #Eurovision again, also because they prohibited #queer flags after Nemo won.
If you win from a minority position, you become dangerous. I say, fuck the majority. #esc2026 -

That they censor the protest means that it's hard to distinguish the #antizionist critique from the #antisemitism. The desperate attempt to stay apolitical doesn't help anyone, it's mostly cowardice.
But I don't expect more from such an event tbh.To view the topic from more sides, you need more time, e.g. this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lajx6ApuEwQ
