Israel's Eden Golan won 5th place at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The contest is scored by each country in two stages - a jury vote by a committee associated with the country's national broadcaster, and a public televote.
In each stage, each nation awards 1-12 points to the 12 songs it most liked.
In the jury vote, Israel was all but ignored, and did not win the top 12-point award from any country.
In the public televote, Israel won the second most points overall (323) behind Croatia (337), and was the top score winner in 15 countries:
Australia
Belgium
Finland
France
Germany
Italy
Luxembourg
Netherlands
Portugal
San Marino
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
Rest of the world (Non-EU nations)
The loudmouths on the streets and the biased mainstream media make it look like Israel is alone.
Eurovision is one more reference point refuting that lie.
A great many people in many places love and support Israel, or at the very least have no problem with her.

🇮🇱 Israel was the most popular act last night in the largest number of European countries.
Quite the contrast to the daily anti-Israel demonstrations we see in many European cities.
Maybe those protests don't really represent all that many people, and we should stop paying them so much attention? 🤔

Egypt is refusing to send any more aid trucks into Gaza so long as the IDF is controlling the entry point at the Rafah Crossing.
Egypt is afraid to be seen "collaborating" with an Israeli "occupation," but it is Israel that will be blamed for the sudden dramatic decrease in humanitarian aid to Gaza.

"Israel stands on the front lines of the fight for civilization."
That was the conclusion of a letter signed by 80 former US generals and admirals.
These military experts further stressed that "a strong Israel is vital to the United States national security," and that they firmly believe Israel has "fought in accordance with the laws of armed conflict."
They warned that Iran and its terrorist proxy are eagerly watching to see if the US under Joe Biden will abandon Israel.

Washington Post: The US is willing to share "valuable" intelligence regarding the location of Hamas leaders in Gaza, if Israel agrees to call off a full-scale invasion of Rafah.
The real question is why America has failed to share this critical intelligence with its ally Israel until now?!
Is the Biden Admin playing a dirty double game?

Israeli Air Force dropping leaflets instructing Gaza civilians to evacuate war zones, and detailing for them where safe areas are located.
This practice has been common since the start of the war.
Israel is doing everything it can to avoid civilian casualties. That's the opposite of a genocide.

Biden: Ceasefire would begin tomorrow if Hamas freed the hostages.
Hamas today rejected Biden’s remarks as a departure to what American mediators had been telling them earlier in the month.
Makes you wonder what kind of promises the Biden admin was making behind Israel’s back.
Fortunately, God is not mocked, and the schemes of man are as nothing before Him.

The UN has finally, after 7 months, admitted that the Hamas-supplied death toll in Gaza is faulty, and that far fewer children have died than has been reported until now.
This is nothing short of willful deceit.
The UN knew full well the outrage and anger those original faulty numbers would cause, and it knew they couldn't and shouldn't be entirely trusted.
But the UN legitimized and reported them anyway.
And now it wants to excuse itself by shrugging its shoulders.

The UN has finally, after 7 months, admitted that the Hamas-supplied death toll in Gaza is faulty, and that far fewer children have died than has been reported until now. This is nothing short of willful deceit. The UN knew full well the outrage and anger…
👆In short, if you don't know a thing, then don't talk about it as if you do. Keep your mouth shut.
The UN for months spoke authoritatively of the Gaza death toll. But if the "fog of war" was preventing them from gathering real evidence and numbers, why speak with such certainty?

The memorial service at the Jerusalem High School Gymnasia Rehavia, where two of our sons studied until their military service. Eight former students of the high school have died in and around the Gaza Strip in the last seven months. Three former students were murdered at the Nova music festival and Tamar Kedem was murdered with her entire family, husband and three children in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
In the 105 years of the high school, 160 students were killed, including Joni Netanyahu (brother of) in Operation Entebbe in 1976 and was a student there.
Since our sons studied there, we have attended the memorial service at the school every year. Today we also met the former principal David Gal, whose son Michael Gal was killed in the Gaza Strip in March.

Germany's Ministry of Justice has reportedly outlawed the use of the phrase "From the River to the Sea."
The Germans determined that this is a Hamas slogan, and since Hamas is an outlawed terrorist organization, public use of the phrase can be considered hate speech and advocacy for terrorism.
