Israel is also getting a suspicously high number of votes in last night's semi-finale. Higher then even Ukraine since the war with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees spread throughout Europe who got their act to win in 2022.
It's so funny because if anybody watches this intercontinental embarrasment, the European Broadcast Union failson that "counts" the text message votes is treated with so much reverence every contest for a couple of minutes. If they don't do anything about it and Israel wins the "public" vote then the contest will have likely have to be hosted in Israel the next year.
Europe is such a an embarrassment.
:Mossad rigging Eurovision in the belief that it will change public opinion on an active genocide is the most Israeli thing ever
Well they did learn from America, and that kind of sounds like something the CIA would do lmao
The final score is split between the public vote and a panel of judges from every country. The votes you see from the presenters are the judges votes, then the televotes are added on at the end in reverse order, ending with the one who got the most votes from the public.
That's in the final, in the semi-finals they just say who goes in the finals and then the scores are posted online after the final.
But the public vote can have a huge sway on these things toward the end on Saturday. The juries or whatever they are called are between a rock in a hard place. Their vote is shown country by country weighted like 1 to 12 and many countries broadcasters will be afraid of looking antisemitic compared to a potential tidal wave in the public vote.
yeah, usually the jury vote is more biased than the public vote, like the exact opposite of what they are supposed to be
12 points from montenegro for serbia!!! Yeah sorry literally the same country...
Nordic countries be like
Edit: Not really this time.
Yeah, nationalism plays a huge role in televotes.
Are you talking about the "technical glitch" in Italy?
Or did something else happen?
Broadcasters aren't even supposed to know the tally so idk what's going on there but it sure smells mighty fishy.Yeah should have linked that sorry. Exact same source I have. I really hope I am not talking out of my ass because it's so funny and being exposed to this super-lib genocide loving song contest all my life has caused some profound psychic damage.
Now the Netherlands has likely been kicked out for highlighting the obvious security risk of letting Israel perform but not the genocide? Also a weird Scooter meets euro/globo federalist act that kinda slaps.
I just found out about Joost. He's a big crowd favorite and now he is banned from rehearsals and probably the final for... reasons...
Other entrants were able to say things and be reprimanded then perform anyways like Barbie Thug and Windows 95 man so I wonder what happened. Was he too flippantly honest? Or was an allegation fabricated as a way to fix the results?
Israel fixing Eurovision to try to rehab their sinking public image is peak hell world so I'm defaulting to that right now.
If they don't do anything about it and Israel wins the "public" vote then the contest will have likely have to be hosted in Israel the next year.
Will be difficult given that it won't exist by then
