to all people if you want to talk about israels politic find yourself another forum. Eurovision is about songs and not politics. This is a nice song and done by a cute guy.
I actually backed this to win that year but his final performance wasnt anywhere as good as this and thus it didnt fare too well..Such a pity!!12 pts from Ireland..
Why the fuck is the pariah state Israel in the Eurovision?
They are not European!
We have values in Europe. Most of us are decent people.
Until the decent people of Israel overthrow their fascist regime, they are not welcome in Europe as far as I'm concerned and should be treated with the disdain that a murderous rogue state deserves.
@Nilguiri israel is part of the EBU.. every country that part in the EBU can be in the eurovision...we are in this contest more then 35 years.. won 3 times!! so shut up!!! and most of the israeli citizens have europen origin!!!israel is fascist regime?? more then million arabs living in israel in peace with us!! and they have many rights here!! if you never been in israel don't says shit!! couse you don't know anything!!!!!
We are civilized in Europe. In Israel torture is legal. It is currently violently occupying land that is not theirs as well as terrorizing and humiliating their victims on a daily basis, not to mention "putting them on a diet" (not my words). We don't do that in Europe. As I said, we are mainly civilized. Your government is not. I am not interested in your lies and propaganda.
All I am saying is that while you have a fascist, racist regime you are not welcome among us decent people.
@Nilguiri when israel was belong to the palestinan?? who was their leader? what was their capital city?? get it!! israel never was belong to the palestinan!! they are just some immigrants from muslim countries most from Jorden!! evem the name palestine is not their name!! they are just stolen this name from the Romans who gave this name to israel in 63BC after they take the land from the JEWS!!!dont belive me?? you can chack!!! and come to israel!! this is the only way you can see the truth!!!!!
@Nilguiri and turkey killing millions Kurds,Armenian,and Greek,the Germans killed millions jews,Russia kiiling thousends in Georgia,Serbia and Croatia killed each others,Azerbaijan and Armenia killing each other too,Bulgaria and serbia killed each other...and Spain also was in war with Englend,France and Hollnad!!! so shut up!!!!! do you remember the attack in Spain in 2004?? this kind of the attacks happens by arabs in israel in thousands times ... see you living with all the attacks!!!!!
That usually follows the straw men arguments and changing of subject.
And thanks for the "invite". I would love to visit Israel some day. Not now, not with this belligerent, lang-grabbing, government with their lies, propaganda, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, uninspected nuclear weapons, human rights violations, disrespect to the international community, flouting international law, etc, etc. One day, hopefully. Cheers.
@Nilguiri so that why i want you visiting in israel now!! to see in your eyes the truth!! to see in your eyes that your words about Israel are wrongs...
@Nilguiri "Thanks for not accusing me of anti-semitism." Except of course the sight of a, by all accounts nice young israeli man who had no say in where he was born, and is an artists, not a general or politician, being in Eurovision sets you on a bender. You have the same reaction to the Turkish entry to Eurovision or is your ire directed only at Jews, though your critique of Israel would be even more apropos to Turkey.
I am not talking about Turkey or any other country. I am talking about Israel's continued abuse of human rights and total disregard for international law..
And it has nothing to do with being anti Semitic. Again, nice try with your straw men, lies and propaganda.
@Nilguiri I noticed you didn't address the other points -- that's fine. I understand ur not talking about Turkey, but this above isn't about Israel, it is a singer, singing a non-political song, and you made it into a political issue. Is it not fair to ask whether you do the same towards other countries? If you say "I oppose A bc of X, Y, Z" but don't oppose B even though it also has X, Y, Z. Not legitimate to ask why this is the case?
I ignored what other points? The irrelevant straw men that brought up?
OK, to answer one of your straw men " Perhaps you prefer Israel's neighbours -- you know, the noble people who put gays to death?"
That is a false dichotomy. Do I have to like one or the other?
No I do not prefer that, those assholes are ignorant religious fundamentalists who have no business enforcing their dumbass bronze age bigotry on decent gay folk.
So stick you "I oppose A bc of X, Y, Z" assumptions up your
@Nilguiri "Total disregard for international law". Do you know what international law is? Not rhetorical, sometimes I hear "Israel violates international law" but the same critics say Israel has no right to exist, though its existence is founded in international law. One can't have it both ways. I'd agree that Israel's settlement policy over the decades is indeed a violation of international law but that's different from blanket statements like "total disregard".
@Nilguiri According to the UN the blockade of Gaza is not illegal, nor was Israel's stopping of boats though no doubt it overreacted. Yes, attacking fishermen (if intentional) and settlement building is illegal. As for nuclear inspectors -- Israel isn't a signatory of the NPT. You are free to criticize it for not being in the NPT, but since it is under no treaty obligation, there isn't anything rogue about it.
@Nilguiri "Israel obeys some international laws. better?" Actually, yes, it is. U do urself and the Pals more justice by being accurate. There is plenty of real criticism one can make of Israel, one doesn't need to engage in hyperbolic nonsense, half-truths, and downright lies. Taking a non-political song by a non-political young man (who in an Arab country would be murdered for being gay) as opportunity to spew vitriol just bc the guy is from Israel is however, hateful and offensive.
"one doesn't need to engage in hyperbolic nonsense, half-truths" Projection?
I was objecting to the fact that Israel is allowed to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. It's not Europe. It's not welcome in Europe while it behaves in that disgusting way. And why are you bringing up the fact that some Arab countries are homophobic again? Another red herring/straw man/irrelevant comment. I told you I despise homophobia and bigotry. Including Israel's religious bigotry & ethnic cleansing.
@Nilguiri If you said "Israel is geographically not Europe" who could be offended by that? But u went further. You said that Europe is civilized whilst Israel is not. But European standards -- which include gay rights, women's rights, democratic elections, etc. do exist in Israel. It is not that Israel is morally perfect, it is that your description of it is out of touch with reality.
Israel has a total disregard for international law, when it decides that doesn't want to obey it.
And because the international community is terrified of losing the US as an ally, they let Israel get away with it. The USA does not do anything because its politicians are bribed by the Jewish lobby to do its bidding and to hand over several billion dollars of military aid every year to crush the Palestinians. Is this news to you?
@Nilguiri Not sure how the billions spent on anti-missile defence f/e crushes the Palestinians. The US and the International Community and the UN have frequently condemned Israeli settlement activity, yeah I wish more was done to stop it, so u have a point, but China, Syria, Russia, Turkey - what exactly has been done to stop them? 2 wrongs dont make a right but you act as if only Israel gets off scott free.
"Not sure how the billions spent on anti-missile defence f/e crushes the Palestinians. "
Then it is obvious that you really have no idea what is going on there do you?
Again, nice try changing the subject. Again, I am talking about Israel's despicable behaviour, not those other countries'. Oh, and you forgot to mention Iran. You must read your pro Israel propaganda manual more carefully.
@Nilguiri You may not have an idea of what is going on since you keep on saying things that, not so much wrong, as simply not true. I didn't know condemning settlements was part of the Israel propoganda manual either -- must've missed the memo. I am not changing the subject, u just seem not to get it. So I'll try and clarify for you...

I didn't know condemning settlements was part of the Israel propoganda manual either -- must've missed the memo. I am not changing the subject, u just seem not to get it. So I'll try and clarify for you...
@Nilguiri When you take something as simple as a non-political song by a non-poltical artist as opportunity to bash Israel, I have no objections. What is fair game however is to ask whether you take the same opportunity with other singers. Maybe I missed the comment where you use Turkey's eurovision entry as an opportunity to call Turkey a racist rogue state. If you are motivated not by antisemetism, but only concern for human rights, it is fair game to ask why u are not being consisnt
What do you mean I am not being consistent? Why do you think that because I am pointing out some of Israel's crimes against humanity like torturing kids that - on a video about Israel - I would be in favour of Syria or China committing atrocities?
@Nilguiri They're not torturing kids but Syria certainly has. Anyway, no, I am not saying you would be in favour of Syria or China doing so. I am saying this - and follow the logic please: Israel is in Eurovision, you take op to lambast the country. Reason being it doesnt have European ethics. I don't see such comments by u directed at Russia, nor Turkey. Is it not fair to ask why? Do you think Turkey and Russia should be excluded from Eurovision? If no, ur being inconsistent.
@Nilguiri If u have a report by HRW or Amnesty on torturing of children I would gladly read it if u can provide it. No, you are not listening. I am not sure why this is so hard for u to understand. You view the antisemetism charge to be a canard, I am explaining why people think antisemetism is involved - holding Jews and a Jewish country to a different standard than non-Jews. That is why I ask u to make clear ur position on whether e.g. Turkey should be banned from Eurovision.
@Nilguiri I do not think criticism of Israel is antisemetic, if that were so, I'd be an antisemite as would lots of Israelis. What is antisemetic is treating a country, b/c it happens to be majority Jewish, different than a non-Jewish country. If someone thinks Israel should be boycotted b/c of X. Fine by me. But if a non-Jewish country, guilty of the same thing, should not be boycotted, why is it unreasonable for me to think ethnic prejudice isn't invloved?
@Nilguiri If someone says for example "Israel does ____, and thus has no right to exist" and I ask "but ___ is guilty of the same thing, do you think it has a right to exist?" If that person says "Yes" and can't explain to me why -- you really think the antisemetism accusation holds no water?
Personally, I think stealing a country and giving it to a religious group would normally be totally unacceptable. However, given the treatment of the Jews in WW2, etc, not many people were going to begrudge it.
My objection is what Israel did after that: ethnic cleansing, destroying Arab villages, crops, cemeteries etc. It is still stealing land while humiliating and murdering Arabs to this day. They even destroy kids' playgrounds!
@Nilguiri Jews arent a religious group they're a ethnic/national one and have been long so considered. WW2 itself doesnt give Israel's legitimacy. I happen to think some of the bad things u say about Israel's behaivour is correct, though not all the stuff about aparthied or fascism -- thats objectively false. But if ur going to advocate a cultural boycott of a country for this or that, it is unfair and wrong to apply it only on one country and not another guilty of the same or worse.
Now you are just being ridiculous! Please, do yourself a favour and do a bit of research.
One more thing before I go. I'm not saying that there is no antisemitism in the world, obviously there is. But I am sure that the vast majority of people like me who criticize Israel's abhorrent behaviour, abhor antisemitism as much as we despise any form of bigotry, racism, homophobia, etc.
It's ironic that Israel uses tactics that the SS would have been proud of.
@Nilguiri Yes apartheid is objectively false. There are Arabs in Israel's Parliament and on its Supreme Court and Palestinians have sued Israel in court and won. This is not apartheid. It doesnt mean Israel is perfect, but not apartheid.
@Nilguiri And no, Israel doesnt use SS tactics, if u think that u don't know what the SS did. The Nazis murdered 90% of the Jews in occupied Europe. The Palestinian population in the occupied territories of the WB and Gaza however have expanded exponentially and continue to do so. Their life expectancy is 8 yrs less than an Israeli, but higher than most other Arabs. Doesnt mean Palestinians arent suffering, but any comparisons to what happend in WWII is ludicrous.
Actually, I said that they used tactics the SS would be proud of, like luring whole families waving white flags into what they assured them was a safe building, and then bombing the building. Or using human shields, usually kids (again, illegal). Bombing residential areas with white phosphorus (illegal). Torturing detainees, often kids (illegal). Threatening them with sexual abuse while in detention. Imprisoning children, flattening peaceful protesters or shooting them in the face,
@Nilguiri You know, I know of the white phosphorous accusations, the one about luring whole families into a safe building is an extremely serious charge. Do you have a citation for it? Goldstone Report? Amnesty? HRW? Torturing is illegal under Israeli law, so again, if it is doing so, the people responsible should be brought to justice. Citation?
"Torturing is illegal under Israeli law" Do you want to check that?
Torture is LEGAL in Israel, They legalized it in 1999.
Other countries that use torture: China, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Morocco, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Syria, Turkey, Uganda, and Uzbekistan. Oh and the USA, of course.
Cool huh?
Yeah, right. The Goldstone report. What a joke!
Nobody is going to bring them to justice, They got away with it.
@Nilguiri I did check it, The Guardian of all places. The Supreme Court held it illegal in 1999, overturning previous Israeli policy that allowed physical torture as a means of interrogation.
@Nilguiri "The Goldstone Report. What a joke". I put a question mark, just would like a citation, if not that, what about Amnesty, or HRW? That's what I mean about you seeming to have a religious faith. Even criticism of Israel, if its not the most extreme damning of the country, and regardless of how much research was put into it, is rejected by you much in the same way religious people gladly take 'evidence' that back up their claim but dismiss all contrary evidence.
@Nilguiri But to be fair, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel has said Israel has treated many Palestinian prisoners in contravention of international standards. Typically tho, a country that has human rights groups and minority groups that criticize their own govt with impugnity is not "fascist". But c, unlike you, I can look at the evidence objectively, otoh u really seem to have a religious attachment to this cause of urs.
I go by evidence, not faith. If you investigate the 1999 ruling, you will see that it does in fact allow torture under certain circumstances, which of course has been used on "countless" occasions since then.
I am objective. I have come to the conclusion that the Israeli govt are belligerent, racist, awkward, lying, conniving assholes. That is not prejudice. Prejudice is to pre-judge. That is an objective conclusion, I assure you.
@Nilguiri Israel is a signatory to the UNCAT so torture as it is defined by the UN is illegal in Israel. According to B'tselem's analysis, I'd like to get myself a copy of the whole decision in English, physical torture isnt allowed, period, but the court did say that someone accused of torture may, if brought to court, use the "necessity" defence. Not quite the same as saying you can torture under certain circumstances.
@Nilguiri All governments are lying and conniving. Israel is no exception. Belligerent? Yeah sometimes. Racist? In a country where Arabs can vote, hold office, join the military, criticize the govt, etc. No, one can't call that a racist country. A country with racists? Sure, plenty. But its no South Africa.
@Nilguiri Haneen Zoubi was on the flotilla, criticizes her own country vociferously, and somehow is still in Parliament collecting her salary and voting on bills. Shouldn't that tell you something about the country? How many Blacks were in South Africa's parliament before 94/95? None.
@Nilguiri I'm trying to explain b/c i think ur smart enough to get it, why some of us think antisemitism is at play here. Some put Israel's right to exist is put into question but no other states' and we arent told why. Flotillas are arranged for Gaza for humanitarian purposes (we are told) but there are far worse crises and no flotillas in sight - not fair to ask y? Israel is boycotted for X but f/e Russia isnt, why? We're not told. That is from where suspicions of antisemitism come.
No, flotillas are not for humanitarian purposes. They are a protest about Israel's unnacceptable behaviour. Israle's anser? Act like pirates. Hijack the ships, execute 0 people on board and lie through their teeth about it. Like pretending that the Mavi Marmara radioed "Go back to Auschwitz.
You think it is antisemitic because you have been told to think that zionist propaganda and lies machine (which is a real thing, btw)
@Nilguiri If they are to protest unacceptable behaviour -- where are the flotillas to Syria or caravans to Chechnya? Those places are far worse than Gaza. Again, I don't think it is antisemetic, I think when one country is singled out for specialized treatment, and specialized vitriol, while others are either ignored or sometimes even excused, and we are not explained why this is so, then I think the possibility of antisemetism is a rational one.
@Nilguiri For that matter, when Hamas began killing, in rather brutal fashion, fellow Palestinians of the opposing political party, and the UN and human rights organisations have faulted Hamas for in some cases denying humanitarian aide to Gazans who are not Hamas supporters -- those in the West that claim solidarity w/the Palestinians are silent. I think it is perfectly legitimate to ask why this is.
@Nilguiri yes religion is indeed poison and a bunch of fairytale myths, but Israel isn't based on an imaginary magician nor on the Bible and one really should research a bit more before coming to conclusions that are false.
"Shalom"? In Canada, we say "Goodbye" or "Au Revoir"
@Nilguiri "You are just copying and pasting from the Zionist propaganda manual." For someone anti-religion you sure do act as a person of faith. Israel is not like Nazi Germany thats objectively true if u know what the Germans did, the Palestinian population has increased, and Palestinian-Arabs are in Parliament and the Courts. A refusal to consider factual evidence b/c it upsets ur militant stance is a hallmark of religious faith.
@Nilguiri If on the other hand you hold that Russia and Turkey are racist and rogue states with human rights abuses that put them outside the realm of European civility and thus should be excluded from any and all European cultural events -- fine by me! At least ur not a hypocrite, though ur statements of Israel are still hyperbolic.
@Nilguiri Can you mention whether you hold Jews to a different standard than non-Jews? It is a simple question with simple logic. Israel is uncivilized because of X, Y, Z and so should not be in Eurovision. Fine, i take that as true. Do you hold that all countries guilty of X, Y, Z, like Russia and Turkey should be banned from European cultural events? If not, why not?
@Nilguiri Just like when people say "Israel has no right to exist because X -- but don't dare accuse me of antisemetism" but if people have no objections to Country Y existing, though it is guilty of X, it is not changing the subject by asking why this is the case. In fact it is quite pertinent to the discussion.

@Nilguiri "In Israel torture is legal" uh, no its not. Not only is Israel a signatory to the Geneva Convention but their Supreme Court banned the use of torture in interrogations in 1999. Their Supreme Court has also sided with Arab plaintiffs in several lawsuits -- I am sure in Apartheid South Africa their courts sided with blacks all the time though! Right? Opinions u are allowed, not ur own facts.
@Nilguiri Yes, Europe does have values -- like gay rights, representative government, women's rights, universal healthcare, freedom of and just as importantly, freedom from religion, etc. Which Israel thankfully has. Just calling something 'fascist' doesn't make it so. Perhaps you prefer Israel's neighbours -- you know, the noble people who put gays to death?
This music and the portuguese one were the best musics from that eurovision. I cannot understand a word but I can feel it... Feelings is what a great music is made of.
this language is not nice! and btw israel is not in europe??? lool next year they will also bring in iran, iraq, lebanon and syria i think, azerbaijan and armenia is not in europe neither
@lauritasaade Israel and Azerbaijan are part of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) which includes some Northern African and Asian countries. What´s your problem?
@TheodorSince91 Israel in the eurovision 20 years before you country in... Israel first show was in 1973 and Hungary first show was in 1993...so.. shut up!!!=))
What an amazing voice :O Even if eurovizion version sucks,but never i sayed that hes sucks or is idiot.I like him But i dont care these dislikers need more love not psychize devil character,its not very good to dislike I like always him but not much,because theres are more hot guys that i love like Eric saade or jedward,and Lena was pretty with her song Sattelite and Taken by a stranger i think.my opiniong Eurovizion should add that two could win eurovizion and who cares if the lover singer lose
@p0r110 we are in the eurovision more then 30 years.... we won 3 times.... so why the hell just now you ask?? we are member of EBU just like Azrarbaijan and armenia are not in europe but in the eurovision.. and israeli is part of every europen competition in diffrent Areas of life like sport,movies,science!!! most of the israeli have europen origin... like me...
I can't believe he didn't win! What is the criteria to win? Oh I get it cheesy English lyrics with ugly custom and mediocre voice. The winner is awful he doesn't have much of a voice.
i wish i could the text that i could sing-a-long but this is getting to tricky so i have just make up new words to make this song "beautiful"... speak of the devil!
I like that Harel sings in his own language and sings for the audience there, not for the camera. He connects to us without forcing it. He's also very talented and very handsome.
I'm Aramaean and understand quite a bit. Hebrew is closely related to the Aramaic language. However, the pronunciation is more similar to the Assyrian dialect of Aramaic.
In any event, I would marry this guy right now if I could.:)
Sadness is here again Fear has risen again End formed My window Cracked glass Silence again Exhausted and cast aside In my mind Light sleep Tears of blood Burning my throat Scratched handle Loose ceiling When I sang your last song
When I sang your last song Leaving me only words Refuge in the shadows Organized books Between the rooms Leaving me only words Bouquet of locks God, Leaving me only words Walls are silent now What to take Fled Yes, what to take Might have won this war And what's left when you are gone? Leaving me only words Refuge in the shadows Organized books Between the rooms Leaving me only words Bouquet of locks God,
I have qualms, however, with a country willing to compete in another regions contests but not willing to abide by the rules applied to all of the other countries. They need to decide: part of the EU or not part of the EU, not a mixture of the two.
@UllrPallson Eurovision contest is not restricted to the Eurozone (obviously). It is restricted to the European Broadcasting Union which includes Russia, Turkey, and even North African countries such as Egypt, Libya, etc.
the music goes beyond any territory, religious belief, currency ... music is one of the few things that even I could cross borders without any restrictions ... borders puts man and is very sad that the line can not pass without problems is that of our mind. I love the song.
If we let Israel into eurovision because of their 'ties with europe' Can we let Australia, New Zealand, and Canada in as well, so that they can compete and vote for Britain?
But Israel is the Interface between Europe, Asia and Africa and with several contests Israel is also in the Mix with Europe, be it sports like soccer and bascetball or music - singingcontests or other arts. That´s fine with me. Good for the competition.
This is a good song and nothing [including hate] can ever change that.
Its a disgrace for all humanity to hate eachother over god, faith, race, identity, culture, sexuality or anything else.
If Israel and others are good enough for the European Broadcasting Union for decades then who cares about cowards on youtube who haven't read or understood the competition.
If Israel would rethink their position in the world and remodel their country as it was described in Theodor Herzl's novel Altneuland I would not only support their entry into this contest but also into the EU.
As it is now they're not located in Europe. They don't speak a language from Europe. They actually condemn various aspects of culture from Europe. They should speak Yiddish at least, when conducting business in Europe.
As it is, politics aside, nice song. Awesome singer.
@wilsonnortheast Sorry,but it's not your private diary to use vulgarism.I think,the ESC is just a title,it is not necessary the participiants to be only Europian countries.Besides,Israel has always treated this contest very serious,sends its best singers and makes this contest much more attractive.We should thank them for their entries.They keep high level of this contest.I always wait for their performances&remember them very long.And this young singer is their best entry ever.
Israel is a parliamentary republic in the Middle East located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan and the West Bank in the east, Egypt and the Gaza Strip on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area.[6][7]
@bakeezawzaghlool so learn more about Israel. there is more then geographic connections to Europe. Israel is the only country in the middle east that you can tell that is in the level of Europe. if you want more info talk to me in privet.
to all people if you want to talk about israels politic find yourself another forum. Eurovision is about songs and not politics. This is a nice song and done by a cute guy.

@Nilguiri "Total disregard for international law". Do you know what international law is? Not rhetorical, sometimes I hear "Israel violates international law" but the same critics say Israel has no right to exist, though its existence is founded in international law. One can't have it both ways. I'd agree that Israel's settlement policy over the decades is indeed a violation of international law but that's different from blanket statements like "total disregard".

Israel obeys some international laws. better?
The blockade of Gaza is illegal. The hijacking of vessels and murdering people aboard in international water is illegal.
Attacking Gazan fishermen in their own waters is illegal. Building settlements on foreign territory is, as you mention, illegal. Shall I go on?
Torturing and sexually assaulting young boys may not ne against Int.law, so that's OK, I guess.
It won't even allow international nuclear inspectors. It's a ROGUE STATE.
Nilguiri 1 month ago
@Nilguiri According to the UN the blockade of Gaza is not illegal, nor was Israel's stopping of boats though no doubt it overreacted. Yes, attacking fishermen (if intentional) and settlement building is illegal. As for nuclear inspectors -- Israel isn't a signatory of the NPT. You are free to criticize it for not being in the NPT, but since it is under no treaty obligation, there isn't anything rogue about it.

@Nilguiri "Israel obeys some international laws. better?" Actually, yes, it is. U do urself and the Pals more justice by being accurate. There is plenty of real criticism one can make of Israel, one doesn't need to engage in hyperbolic nonsense, half-truths, and downright lies. Taking a non-political song by a non-political young man (who in an Arab country would be murdered for being gay) as opportunity to spew vitriol just bc the guy is from Israel is however, hateful and offensive.

I was objecting to the fact that Israel is allowed to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. It's not Europe. It's not welcome in Europe while it behaves in that disgusting way. And why are you bringing up the fact that some Arab countries are homophobic again? Another red herring/straw man/irrelevant comment. I told you I despise homophobia and bigotry. Including Israel's religious bigotry & ethnic cleansing.

@Nilguiri If you said "Israel is geographically not Europe" who could be offended by that? But u went further. You said that Europe is civilized whilst Israel is not. But European standards -- which include gay rights, women's rights, democratic elections, etc. do exist in Israel. It is not that Israel is morally perfect, it is that your description of it is out of touch with reality.

haha, you're really clutching at straws, but OK.
Israel has a total disregard for international law, when it decides that doesn't want to obey it.
And because the international community is terrified of losing the US as an ally, they let Israel get away with it. The USA does not do anything because its politicians are bribed by the Jewish lobby to do its bidding and to hand over several billion dollars of military aid every year to crush the Palestinians. Is this news to you?

@Nilguiri Not sure how the billions spent on anti-missile defence f/e crushes the Palestinians. The US and the International Community and the UN have frequently condemned Israeli settlement activity, yeah I wish more was done to stop it, so u have a point, but China, Syria, Russia, Turkey - what exactly has been done to stop them? 2 wrongs dont make a right but you act as if only Israel gets off scott free.

@Nilguiri I do not think criticism of Israel is antisemetic, if that were so, I'd be an antisemite as would lots of Israelis. What is antisemetic is treating a country, b/c it happens to be majority Jewish, different than a non-Jewish country. If someone thinks Israel should be boycotted b/c of X. Fine by me. But if a non-Jewish country, guilty of the same thing, should not be boycotted, why is it unreasonable for me to think ethnic prejudice isn't invloved?

Who the f*** is talking about the right to exist?
Personally, I think stealing a country and giving it to a religious group would normally be totally unacceptable. However, given the treatment of the Jews in WW2, etc, not many people were going to begrudge it.
My objection is what Israel did after that: ethnic cleansing, destroying Arab villages, crops, cemeteries etc. It is still stealing land while humiliating and murdering Arabs to this day. They even destroy kids' playgrounds!
Nilguiri 1 month ago
@Nilguiri Jews arent a religious group they're a ethnic/national one and have been long so considered. WW2 itself doesnt give Israel's legitimacy. I happen to think some of the bad things u say about Israel's behaivour is correct, though not all the stuff about aparthied or fascism -- thats objectively false. But if ur going to advocate a cultural boycott of a country for this or that, it is unfair and wrong to apply it only on one country and not another guilty of the same or worse.

One more thing before I go. I'm not saying that there is no antisemitism in the world, obviously there is. But I am sure that the vast majority of people like me who criticize Israel's abhorrent behaviour, abhor antisemitism as much as we despise any form of bigotry, racism, homophobia, etc.
It's ironic that Israel uses tactics that the SS would have been proud of.

@Nilguiri And no, Israel doesnt use SS tactics, if u think that u don't know what the SS did. The Nazis murdered 90% of the Jews in occupied Europe. The Palestinian population in the occupied territories of the WB and Gaza however have expanded exponentially and continue to do so. Their life expectancy is 8 yrs less than an Israeli, but higher than most other Arabs. Doesnt mean Palestinians arent suffering, but any comparisons to what happend in WWII is ludicrous.

Threatening them with sexual abuse while in detention. Imprisoning children, flattening peaceful protesters or shooting them in the face,

@Nilguiri You know, I know of the white phosphorous accusations, the one about luring whole families into a safe building is an extremely serious charge. Do you have a citation for it?

@Nilguiri But to be fair, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel has said Israel has treated many Palestinian prisoners in contravention of international standards. Typically tho, a country that has human rights groups and minority groups that criticize their own govt with impugnity is not "fascist". But c, unlike you, I can look at the evidence objectively, otoh u really seem to have a religious attachment to this cause of urs.

I go by evidence, not faith. If you investigate the 1999 ruling, you will see that it does in fact allow torture under certain circumstances, which of course has been used on "countless" occasions since then.

@Nilguiri Israel is a signatory to the UNCAT so torture as it is defined by the UN is illegal in Israel.

Not quite the same as saying you can torture under certain circumstances.

Flotillas are arranged for Gaza for humanitarian purposes (we are told) but there are far worse crises and no flotillas in sight - not fair to ask y?

@Nilguiri If they are to protest unacceptable behaviour -- where are the flotillas to Syria or caravans to Chechnya? Those places are far worse than Gaza. Again, I don't think it is antisemetic, I think when one country is singled out for specialized treatment, and specialized vitriol, while others are either ignored or sometimes even excused, and we are not explained why this is so, then I think the possibility of antisemetism is a rational one.

@Nilguiri For that matter, when Hamas began killing, in rather brutal fashion, fellow Palestinians of the opposing political party, and the UN and human rights organisations have faulted Hamas for in some cases denying humanitarian aide to Gazans who are not Hamas supporters -- those in the West that claim solidarity w/the Palestinians are silent. I think it is perfectly legitimate to ask why this is.

the music goes beyond any territory, religious belief, currency ... music is one of the few things that even I could cross borders without any restrictions ... borders puts man and is very sad that the line can not pass without problems is that of our mind. I love the song.

If we let Israel into eurovision because of their 'ties with europe' Can we let Australia, New Zealand, and Canada in as well, so that they can compete and vote for Britain?
thanks

But Israel is the Interface between Europe, Asia and Africa and with several contests Israel is also in the Mix with Europe, be it sports like soccer and bascetball or music - singingcontests or other arts. That´s fine with me. Good for the competition.

This is a good song and nothing [including hate] can ever change that.
Its a disgrace for all humanity to hate eachother over god, faith, race, identity, culture, sexuality or anything else.
If Israel and others are good enough for the European Broadcasting Union for decades then who cares about cowards on youtube who haven't read or understood the competition.

If Israel would rethink their position in the world and remodel their country as it was described in Theodor Herzl's novel Altneuland I would not only support their entry into this contest but also into the EU.
As it is now they're not located in Europe. They don't speak a language from Europe. They actually condemn various aspects of culture from Europe. They should speak Yiddish at least, when conducting business in Europe.
As it is, politics aside, nice song. Awesome singer.

@wilsonnortheast Sorry,but it's not your private diary to use vulgarism.I think,the ESC is just a title,it is not necessary the participiants to be only Europian countries.Besides,Israel has always treated this contest very serious,sends its best singers and makes this contest much more attractive.We should thank them for their entries.They keep high level of this contest.I always wait for their performances&remember them very long.And this young singer is their best entry ever.

Israel is a parliamentary republic in the Middle East located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan and the West Bank in the east, Egypt and the Gaza Strip on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area.[6][7]

Still Israel is in Europe ?
that's like saying Canada is in Europe!
