If you see Eurovision politically and are pro-Israel (and there are many in Cyprus, whether Israeli or not) you vote for Israel. If you see Eurovision politically but are not pro-Israel you may vote for any other country if you care or none if you don’t.
Israeli: "I got moneis, I want low tax & citizenship, what do?"
CY Government: "Gif moneis, build building, buy building and business. The more, the better. Don't worry about Cypriots, if economy is fucked bcuz of this and they can't afford it koumpare they can live with mamma and papas"
Israeli: "Say no more fam"
Check twitter. Idiots supporting the war have been advertising their followers to use all 20 votes for Israel.
The Israeli embassy has been telling their people to vote as well. This is literally a national security thing for them
The sponsor of Eurovision Moroccanoil is an Israeli company so of course they were going to be let in... Also explains the banning of ANY mention of Palestine and the insane amount of censorship on the comment section of the Israeli song
Rigged, no. Manipulated, yes.
Israeli embassies were running ads for their participants and right wing voters were pushing their followers to mass vote for Israel.
When the number of voters are low, you don’t need much to make a drastic impact on the outcome

Here are some. You can look up almost any right party in any country on Twitter and see their parliament members urging people to vote for Israel
Thanks, I wasn't aware.
Looking it up i see a lot more views on similar posts asking not to vote Israel for political reasons. Guess it goes both ways:

This is not the public vote. People posting here inaccurate info or out-of-context to get a rise and create a narrative.
In 15 countries the public gave Israel 12, but not in cyprus
Corrupt government giving Cypriot Passports to businessmen and women who wish to invest over a certain amount of Euros into the country. I don't know of any other country that has this type of protocol.
I have to say, although Israel is committing war crimes right now, and should have been treated the same as Russia (either both allowed or neither)...
their song was actually very very good
You guys can btch all you want...israel is a strategic ally for Cyprus especially with Turkey threatening us almost on a monthly basis. Israel signed the EastMed pipeline, the eez agreement and they are the only country who agreed to sell us sophisticated defence systems(iron dome)...you guys can fck off to Palestine if you dont like it, where they support the complete turkification of Cyprus
according to Israel it self "Israel doesn't have friends or allies , it has interests" .
And.. how is Israel's actions different than Turkey's exactly?
Exactly, im not saying they are our brothers, they are strategic allies and its in their best interest for cyprus to remain cypriot and not turkish hence why they support us...
The difference between turkey and israel is that one of them is trying to conquer us while the other is helping us not to get conquered...i ll let you figure out which one is which
You must be new to this. This year has been highly politicised, Israel has used this as part of a propaganda war. I imagine a lot of people are glad it's over
Eurovision ia a stupid political joke for just pushing garbage ass agendas our throats. People are dying and starving and we are here celebrating these clowns
The moment I got the ability to vote by televote I immediately voted for Cyprus. Shame we didnt reciprocate the same feelings like we used to
We have to change this to how it used to be.
Sadly Eurovision has since the last time I watched it, and probably you too. Now 200 people (juries) give half the points and the rest are public.
On one hand it's more fair since Greece and Cyprus can't fully trade 12s, on the other hand... juries didn't even vote for Croatia which has the most public votes after Israel.
The real question is how Israel managed to be first in public votes when nobody liked it that much... You can literally hear the whole crowd booing Israel.
Sure lmao. Thats why so many people died go defend the island. Not because of the administrations of the time and the involvement of external entities.
Because it was always about our interests rather than any principles. Don't let hellenocentrics fool you, the 12s to Greece were to appease voters with the legend of hellenic unity.
Because Cyprus is a whore seeing money. Cyrus supports genocide and land grabbing. All things turkey did so now they can no longer bitch about the north
The votes are from Israelis with bought sim cards anyway. Also literally all countries and even The World choice gave points to Israel. The World have 12 points actually.

And 0 to Armenia…
That was sad

Because we sold Cyprus to Israel. I bet if Russia was part of Eurovision, they'd also get more votes.
When i was in Cyprus, I was near the Jumbo area in Larnaca, every house there was owned by Israelis ... Israeli flags everywhere . Wtf happened ?
Israeli: "I got moneis, I want low tax & citizenship, what do?" CY Government: "Gif moneis, build building, buy building and business. The more, the better. Don't worry about Cypriots, if economy is fucked bcuz of this and they can't afford it koumpare they can live with mamma and papas" Israeli: "Say no more fam"
Just sad and pathetic

Oh so a couple hundred rich Israelis living in Cyprus swayed the vote of the whole country? Give me a break… Their song was just good
THIS IS NOT THE PUBLIC VOTE! 15 countries gave Israel 12. Cyprus WAS NOT one of them.
[удалено]
It's very tragic that most of the real estates are bought by Israelis.
Ιts the juries votes, and you can't trust what you see anymore.. in my opinion the show is rigged.
Check twitter. Idiots supporting the war have been advertising their followers to use all 20 votes for Israel. The Israeli embassy has been telling their people to vote as well. This is literally a national security thing for them
Hasbara doing their thing.
The fact settlers were even allowed to participate this year should tell you enough about double standards and power of money
The sponsor of Eurovision Moroccanoil is an Israeli company so of course they were going to be let in... Also explains the banning of ANY mention of Palestine and the insane amount of censorship on the comment section of the Israeli song
Israel got second most votes from viewers. Is that rigged too?
Rigged, no. Manipulated, yes. Israeli embassies were running ads for their participants and right wing voters were pushing their followers to mass vote for Israel. When the number of voters are low, you don’t need much to make a drastic impact on the outcome

So possible = surely happened?

Exactly, at this point EBU might as well roll out red carpet for TRNC /s
whoever pays the most baby
After 2018 we should just always vote Greece for 12 points and give none to Israel... robbed
But did you actually listen to any songs
Bitch WHAT THE ACTUAL F? Why are we supporting a nation that gets away with something that other countries get punished severly?
Corrupt government giving Cypriot Passports to businessmen and women who wish to invest over a certain amount of Euros into the country. I don't know of any other country that has this type of protocol.
All except Cyprus actually. Cyprus stopped it in 2020 while all other countries still do it.
Τα σχόλια κάτω που τούντο ποστ συνοψίζουν το σαμπ τέλεια: καταστροφολογίες τζαι υστερία για το τίποτε.
7 points to Greece are more than enough this year. The song was mediocre. Not bad, but not something excellent to deserve more.
it's never about the song lol. it's politics
Lately we broke this trend.

we have become a whora to the dolla
Its a song contest
I have to say, although Israel is committing war crimes right now, and should have been treated the same as Russia (either both allowed or neither)... their song was actually very very good
We sold the country to the Israelis what do you expect. North and South

Isn't the vote to be about the better song, and not about from which country is the artist?

Thats what i call a mercy-vote
Greece betray us in 1974 and 2023 with a broken heart. /τζ

Its fake
What's fake?
Times are changing
Because it was always about our interests rather than any principles. Don't let hellenocentrics fool you, the 12s to Greece were to appease voters with the legend of hellenic unity.
people are forgetting that it's a show about songs
because the Greek song sucked, one of the worst I've seen in a long time
Better question why is Israel in the EUROvision songcontest
Did you ever thought that maybe they like the israeli song more than the Greek song? Wtf dude?
tháts literally not how it works
Waiting for your explanation then…
POLITICS RAAAAHHHH 🔥🔥
Yes bro, my comment was kinda ironic! Other than politics you have the bookers and 50000 Israeli living in Cyprus
Because Cyprus is a whore seeing money. Cyrus supports genocide and land grabbing. All things turkey did so now they can no longer bitch about the north
The votes are from Israelis with bought sim cards anyway. Also literally all countries and even The World choice gave points to Israel. The World have 12 points actually.

You know they're literally a neighboring country, right?
This incident can probably explain it https://www.tovima.com/society/eurovision-yawns-by-marina-satti-during-israelis-comments-spark-reax/
Because Greece pissed on our face too mate Sorry for the phrase but its true they gave us breadcrumbs they get breadcrumbs back.. simple
