They had to mute the booing but they “win” televote. Mossad have been busy tonight.
They were the head sponsor with ‘morrocan’ oil, which is a Israeli company.
Also, “voting” in Eurovision is nothing more than maxing out a credit card. A vote doesn’t represent a person but the amount of money they are willing to spend on their “non political” song festival.
Israel was also buying advertisements for people to vote for Israel despite it being illegal to do so.
Last year, you could not hear boos when Israel entered, but you heard some between the time the Greek flag (which is the same colours) was seen and Greece was announced, which seemed telling.
This is last year. There are claims that they did it again this year.
Not claims, they confirmed it themselves.
When we were watching it on BBC there was clearly something going on, but everything you heard was cheers. There were patches when it was very quiet and it just sounded different. When it ended Graham Norton said “I don’t know what you’re hearing at home but the reaction in the hall is very mixed”.
Good on him for making that comment
The BBC loves editing footage.
