So Switzerland won the Eurovision Song Contest, with Israel in fifth position. But if only the phone votes would be counted, Croatia would win with Israel second. Switzerland would be fifth.
It´s also interesting to note that Israel only got 52 points from the jury groups, but 323 points from the people.
Sure, the Israeli song wasn´t particularly good as songs go, but it´s difficult not to suspect that politics were involved here...both when the jury groups voted, and when the television viewers did so. Everyone knows that "Hurricane" is really about the Hamas terrorist attack last year.
The juries preferred the Woke song "The Code" by Nemo from Switzerland, who is now promoted as "the first non-binary winner of the Eurovision Song Contest" (he is a gay male in a skirt). The European public showed solidarity with Israel. And with Ukraine, another nation with a song that got many more votes from the people than the jury groups...
