It’s possible to vote for Israel, but not against them.
If you are pro Israel there are many people advising you to vote for them. even if you don’t watch. There are adverts advising people to vote. and there is a possibility of robo voting. it’s essentially quite cheap to game it.
It’s also possible to vote multiple times.
On top of this, I’m vehemently against Israel being involved in the competitions while actively engaged in a genocide. So I boycotted, which also amplifies any oro Israel voting.
Better to remove them from the competition as it’s become toxic to keep them in.
I didn’t watch it either mostly because of the double standards (they were quick to exclude Russia) but also because of the difference between the jury votes and the popular votes.
The while thing seems very bureaucratic and unfair
But you make a point with the viewers remaining are not at all representative of europe
