  • yeah it’s all about that sweet sweet cash. I don’t quite understand how such a minor cosmetics company is able to afford such a big sponsorship for that many years. You’d think L’Oreal or similar international brands have this kind of marketing budget.

    i thought that the song Israel competed with is good music, the singer is talented, and in a vacuum it deserves being around the top, but the whole backstory of sending a survivor of the music festival attack that initiated the war just makes it unpalatable.

    letting them take part in the competition is also a huge additional stress for security, logistics and broadcast, to avoid physical attacks (several were thwarted during the israeli performances), avoid props like palestinian flag (like when the icelandic band brought one in rotterdam), booing (like in malmö where they had to introduce a delay to be able to remove anything from the final signal)… all that trouble must still be worth it.
