I don’t even know where that support comes from. Anti-genocide marches get massive attendance, I don’t see anyone vocally supporting Israeli atrocities.
One person can give up to 20 votes for a one country. That's why even a small portion of extreme right cunts who have never cared for the event can skew the voting, because "yeehaa let's own the libs". 🤪 Combined with how a big portion of former fans are now boycotting and how many votes are not...
...given due that, this unfortunately is not surprising. My country gave israhell 10 points in televotes, as even right-wing politicians in our government were asking their voters to vote for them. "I never watch ESC but you should still vote for this act, let's show those leftists".
No. This is all wrong. I don't like living in echo chambers and most people know ill listen to well reasoned opinions different to mine. And sometimes even change my mind lol but I do not know anyone even the more conservative, who approve of what Israel are doing. So who voted? Bot farm.
Apparently it's a right wing thing on Facebook - people sharing Israel's number to ring for those that don't even watch the show to "teach the lefties" etc.
