[Ian9Rush]

Ofra Haza is my favorite singer ever in esc - she is simply the best

[FlavioGirl]

[Maxwell1901]

@FlavioGirl Tipex, 2007

[skipe94]

oh mon dieu ca c'est fou ca!!! i didnt know that my country putted such wierd song in the ESC

[ielaba98]

1983 Isreal, must be one of the best songs ever in the Eurovision!

[Maxwell1901]

@ielaba98 Ofra was essentially singing "I'm alive" and "Israel is alive" as the contest was being held in Munich, of all places.

[SaharFashion]

Ofra Haza Is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!

[SvetaLjubav]

Ilanit is fabulous, 1973 and 1977 are Israel's best entries!

[mycorks]

Push the botton in the top 10 songs?!!! Terrible song

[klarinetta]

Yeah and also Shara Barchovot. The best are of course the two entries from Ilanit and Hakol Over Habibi.

[ummFatimah98]

Yes Ofra Haza should absolutely have won in 1983! She was the best! The winner song was one of the worst!

[collumbell]

OMG I can't believe you put Push The Button as one of your faves lol

And no Ole Ole??

Ofra was the best though.

[ferretmanboy]

Push The Button wasn't that bad

[Furienna]

Hmm... I agree about Ofra Haza being the best (she should have won). And thank you for including the underrated 1990 entry. But what about the winning entries from 1978 and 1979? And the entries 1985 and 1988 were good too.

[tvMedijum2020]

I agry about first pleace.Ofra Haza's song is best Israel entry ever.

[1980rosix]

i love the sound of this language, although I don't understand...it's so beautiful

[skipe94]

@1980rosix thanks lol most of the people think it sounds like shit

[Beuck76]

The best was DIVA from DANA INTERNATIONAL in 1998. Abanibi and Aleluya were very good songs too.

[santidelmar]

Toledano better than Rita?! No way! At least Ofra is first :)

[jjc11293]

I agree with a lot of these, especially the untouchable Ofra as number one! But what happened to 1991?

[sebnem22]

Israeli performances on ESC are very interesting and I have no idea why this performances don't achieve high notes...and why did Lebanon refuse taking part in Eurovision Song Contest?? that would be a great show 'cause Lebanon might represent a georgous oriental music. Think about it Lebanon!!!

Isis Gee-the winner of ESC 2008 in Belgrade

[RoniLironi]

Thanks, I agree with you :). About Lebanon- I also hope they'll join and leave the politics behind.

Good luck to Isis Gee! Turkey is on my second place too (after Lithuania).

[golibicek]

I think Israel's songs are very good...my ten favourites are (random) :

74,75,79,82,83,86,87,89,91 and 08 :)

I voted for Israel this year :)

(and Isis Gee's song was perfect ! )

[QuaintMelissaK]

In Lebanon, there is a law that prohibits any Israeli from ever airing on their television network.

[mites7]

I know that really pissed me off since that made it so we couldn't participate. Stupid bullshit politics shouldn't make a difference in a contest of the arts.

[haimon33]

@sebnem22 they dont wanna join cause they hate see israel participating....how pathetic

[cryingonion2]

ofra haza RIP
