There is no genocide, as have ICJ said too. Stop making your own conclusions on stuff that is not true. What about the war crimes and war Ukraine has been doing to Russian troops?

If Ireland and Iceland truely cared about Palestine, they would also withdraw, if Ireland participate next year I’ll be very disappointed in my country

@@erinnadia0409 sadly I don’t expect any withdrawals other than the Netherlands:-(

Are you gonna say the same thing about Ukraine who has done war crimes against Russia and prisoners of war. And who is fighting an army who invaded their territory to start with?

@@tanktheplayer4275 please supply the international court ruling that say Ukraine has done war crimes? If Russia would leave Ukraine and sign a comprehensive peace deal, the Ukrainians would stop and return to their borders, the Ukraine didn’t blockade Russia for 18 years during the times there were not a war, Ukraine has not killed a hundred times more Russians than Russians have killed Ukrainians, there was no history of Ukraine’s occupying land not their over decades, no Ukrainian settlements build inside Russia and no Ukrainian road linking only Ukraine settlements and leaving the Russia town with dirt roads. In short your bullshit only hides your ignored or total bias. Oh and ofcouse the Ukrainians have never target any Eurovision artist that holds a viewpoint that doesn’t match their own to bully them or intimidate them.

@@tanktheplayer4275 no country who is currently are war should be participating. If I were Ukrainian I would be bothered by my country using a lot of money to pay for entry when that money could go back to their people for aid

Agree about Israel, disagree about the rest. Nemo would've won the jury votes anyway, not thanks to gender or sexual identity but because of flawless performance and amazing vocal abilities.

@@silencestation557 while his vocals and the song do deserve success, everything else was an ideological agenda. Eurovision isn't even trying to disguise the fact that being straight isn't an advantage in the community. When Bambi Thug says she's special because "I'm a queer witch", the wagon is off the rails and driving into the wall. I want to be entertained, leave the ideology backstage. They're so brainwashed that in a group photo of winners, everyone was female though it was Johnny Logan who won the contest 3 times. "Hold Me Now" is like the Fifth Symphony compared to "Tattoo". But hey, he's a man and that disqualifies him, I guess.

Starting a post with I’m a gay man and then going on to imply that LGBTQ+ contestants get an advantage when they were the artists being the most intimidated and bullied and abused live on television broadcasts, show your complete bias. FACT Israeli delegation bullied and intimidated more than all other delegation put together, The Israeli artist far from being a little girl is a grown woman who despite being Ukrainian born, backed Russia traitors and has crossed in Ukraine land occupied by the Russians and was willing to sing for the occupiers so surprise (not) that she was happy to sing a propaganda song for the Israeli occupations. The quicker the revolting hate filled Israeli government falls and the millions of Jews around the world and in Israel who do not support the genocide of the Palestinians nor that government, voice their support for a two nation solution to the Israeli/palestinian conflict the better. Israel should be in the ESC, last year it used government money to help buy the public vote and it should have been disqualified not the Netherlands!

​@@Mloofylicious It's nice that you admit that Nemo still deserved success. A worthy winner of both jury vote and overall, I think there's no question about that. Even though I think you're overdramatizing the queer-issue a bit and imo the biggest problem of current jury system isn't giving advance to the artists based on their sexual preferences, I lowkey agree with you as well. I honestly think that the unbalanced overrepresentation of a certain community in the contest is becoming rather a disadvantage and in a perspective is slowly damaging the meaning and the very essence of Eurovision.

@@silencestation557 Of course he did-pulling off balancing on the huge disc without losing control over your voice and delivery is one hell of an accomplishment. I merely don't like songs with too many different genres squeezed into just 3 minutes, but that's a question of taste, not of quality. I'm not aware of how things are going for other artists post-Eurovision, but for now it seems to me that the biggest hype is still focused on Baby Lasagna and he's bigger then ever, all over Europe. Instead of community representation, I prefer to treat Eurovision fandom as a single community on its own and that's more or less clear when we look at how many people there are. I have to agree with you too, queer overexposure (there is such a thing indeed) has turned some audiences away from the competition which is too bad. The essence should be about music. The quality of the acts has never been so high so I'd hate seeing it overshadowed by political statements. Honestly, if I wanted a competent opinion about the Middle East right now, I'd much rather listen to professional journalists and political leaders instead of a singer who thinks their follower numbers grant them authority outside music too. That's what some of the participants didn't understand last time.

Great, don’t watch then. No one is forcing Netherlands to compete, just withdraw. Israel is here to stay and compete just like Ukraine who is still in war with Russia.

@@tanktheplayer4275 hence my statement about double standards

Why?

@@nzkid2599 Misandry and rainbow-washed genocide.

Same, am really excited to see if there will be any familiar names

And the first list of participants in a national final, most likely Eesti Laul, even though Estonia hasn't confirmed their participation yet.

unless Poland announces JoJo Siwa first
