How Israel Hijacked Eurovision

A New York Times investigation reveals that Israel ran a coordinated, multi-year campaign to turn Eurovision into a soft-power tool; spending at least $1 million on Eurovision marketing, including funds from PM Netanyahu's "hasbara" propaganda office, with $800,000+ on ads around the 2024 Malmö contest alone.

The Israeli government bought multilingual ads urging viewers to vote up to 20 times for its contestants, with Netanyahu himself posting voting graphics on Instagram; embassies pressured European broadcasters to keep Israel in the contest.

Israel's singer won the popular vote in countries where Israel polls deeply unpopular, and Times analysis found a few hundred voters could swing outcomes.

The European Broadcasting Union downplayed concerns, kept full vote data secret, canceled an emergency vote on Israel's participation, and adopted vague rule tweaks instead, prompting Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, and Slovenia to boycott the 2026 contest in Vienna.

BREAKING: President Trump: Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it “quits.” Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he votes against the Republican Party (and really good legislation!), did not help her. For some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD. Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country! President DJT

This guy won the Tour de France, became the World Champ, first rider ever to do back-to-back double, podiumed every single monument so far… still not enough for the Laureus Sportsman of the year 2025 award.

Last Olympic year it went to Duplantis, this year it should finally go to Pogačar in my opinion. What do you think?
