Austria's JJ has won the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with "Wasted Love." An estimated 160 million people from Europe and beyond were expected to tune in.
The way Eurovision voting works is that each voter get 20 points to distribute their vote. I suspect most “ordinary” people distribute their points across multiple artists because they can’t decide on one artist, while Israel supporters distribute all their 20 points to Israel.
Then I suspect most people watching Eurovision don’t vote, while most people supporting Israel vote for Eurovision - even if they don’t watch the competition.
I’ve also heard Israel did targeted ad campaigns urging people to vote for Israel.
So I think it’s less of a conspiracy and more of a foul play.
