This conversation came close to some interesting Israel - South Africa points. Rumours go that one of the possible weapons that was tested during the Vela Incident might have been a neutron bomb, intended to nuke an urban area without damaging the infrastructure, clearing it of people, with minimal spreading of fallout to nearby "friendly" areas. Also, one of the primary ways the apartheid regime coped with the arms embargo was by cooperating with Israel, developing local manufacturer of weapons based on Israeli designs. The SANDF still uses the R4, based on the Galil. We have rockets in museums derived from the Jericho ballistic missile.

Fun fact: Hannibal Lecter is based on a real guy, who was a gay cannibal doctor, as in a physician-surgeon type doctor, who was a certified genius and gained a reputation for being incredibly smart, charming, cunning and low key crazy like a fox.

Eurovision's only contribution to culture was the song Rockefeller street. Even though the one performed there was terrible, and the one we all know from OSU! is a studio recording re-make.
The reason why Israel is in Eurovision is because when Eurovision was launched in like, the 50s or something idk, participants were linked by British (and other) owned communications technology or something? Israel had it because it was a colony or partner of the UK etc. I forget the finer details but thats about it.

The dynamics were: pro-Palestine? boycott, or maybe vote for Spain or Ireland I guess? pro-Israel/genocide? vote early and often for Israel. Pretty easy to see why Israel would get lots of votes, without signifying anything.

This is not controversial as much as business as usual.

The underlying problem is that the DCCC doesn't seem to be taking the threat of a second trump term seriously. They might get more votes if they did
