  2. I will boycott Eurovision if they get involved in politics instead of new talents and good songs.
    Don't follow Numbskulls, Nincompoops and No-brainer folks of this world.

  6. Just because the media think we care dosn't mean we do… IMO it should be stripped of all public funding and made a fully private show.. too much tax payer money spend on this cr4p show.

  11. United by music. Stop picking on Israel on every occasion you have, no matter the event, enough. Wake up Europe, look at your own backyard

  17. The people with palestinian flags got to feel good about themselves for a day, still ignorant of what's really going on, bless them..
    Yuval will feel all the deserved love and respect for her great performance despite the people with the same flags who tried to kill her.

  20. No worries Palestina usa will make you to the new top holiday destination for rich tourist. Israel has the best song this year it is amazing
