Just ran into a pro-Palestina protestation in Malmö, it was wild 😳 Apparently 30k people were present. And apparently there was a pro-Israel one in the city with Greta Thunberg, what a time to be alive.

I considered to go watch it but they are selling tickets for 1000-1200 Euros.. I underestimated big time.

How do you fight a dangerous enemy hiding among civilians ? Or you don't ?
How would you fight Hitler's werewolves if they were real (they were not - they gave up) ?

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. There was this big anti-Israel campaign at Eurovision but apparently they did amazing in televoting last night and skyrocket in odds. Second favorite now after Croatia.

No more Eurovision for me.
In 2007 they robbed me.
Look at the song I backed:
 

Look what won:
 

You hear Lasha Tumbai now everyday, in every disco, every beach pub.
But where did you hear the Serifovic song ever again ??
The Serbian Paparigas woman has vanished into obscurity.

The utter scoundrels fixed it.
Made me support brexit but only temporarily - because I discovered the brexiteers were loony types.

What happened was this:
Lasha Tumbai price was a good 80 to 1.
Those days we did n't have Paypal in Greece but my sister had a small paypal account from when she was in the UK so she borrowed me 30 euros to make the bet with betfair.
She was n't giving me more, so I did n't cover myself with place bets (40 to 1 - not bad).

But it was a big time fraud.
I never switch the tv on since then to watch the rubbish, but I have noticed it was n't the first and only time they gave the prize to stupid songs.

The idea that telephone voters went to bat like that of them ays all you need to know about how Europe views Palestinians or I guess Arabs in general.

Arena was booing Israel song but couldn't hear it on TV. They put filters. 

Eurovision main sponsor is Moroccanoil. Guess from where?

[cosmicway 1,333]

What did the Dutch do ?

Do Moroccans own Moroccanoil? Or is it it one of those shell countries owned by a minority from elsewhere?

It's supposed to be between Croatia (hot fav.) and Israel.
Switzerland a somewhat distant third.
I did not even listen to the songs and neither will do.
