I may be very wrong but I don’t see Israel sweeping the public vote. I think Croatia will win the public vote by a mile.

If the Italian leaked votes are true, Israel is winning the televote. In this age of the Eurovision the televote is very similar in most countries, so if Israel got 40% of the votes in Italy of all places in the semi, we should expect a lot of votes going their way today. Not even Ukraine got that many votes from Italy two years ago in the semi.

I would be skeptical about how real those votes were and also I can’t see every country replicating 40% for Israel in televoting. I could be very wrong but my gut says Croatia will win the televote.

Honestly very difficult situation. 
if Israel wins then everybody will talk about manipulation , true or not doesn’t matter. Clearly the next esc would be very problematic as no host (maybe Germany would take over for Israel) and many countries will withdraw. 
 

on the other hand not even sure I want Croatia to win. The song is ok, but nothing special, we probably can’t afford it and I could imagine the production would be embarrassing. Therefore let’s agree on Switzerland, Italy or France.

I hope so  

 

Been my big favourite from the first time I heard it  

 

Especially if, outside of Israel getting the free war votes, the biggest challengers are Switzerland and France, which I found soooo....meh.

and how come it’s Israel’s Fault? He is a 26 years old man he is not a child, if he did something that considered a crime in Sweden it’s completely his fault, add that it was against a member of the production, (and that there are more performers and delegation members that express their opinion on Israel)  its has nothing to do with Israel. Guess when you are having a bad day it’s also our fault?

For me the so called hardcore Eurovision fans in the arena and on social media have ruined Eurovision this year and made it political. I reckon if it was Palestine participating this year and not Israel, we would not be having this much outrage. As for the Israeli delegation harassing journalists and artist of other countries for saying free Palestine and stuff like, both sides should've been banned from this year for making it political instead of uniting people with music no matter their nationality and political beliefs.

People in and around the Israeli delegation seem to have very much been on their worst behaviour, provoking left and right, saying this and that person shouldn't be allowed to breath, and so on. But this thing with Netherlands being DQ'ed doesn't seem to have anything to do with them, so Israel's misbehaviour (on several occassions) is a separate issue. Making Eurovision 2024 even more of a shitshow
