TW for the video - Death of children

"Thus I clothe my naked villainy with old odd ends, stolen forth of holy writ, and seem a saint when most I play the devil"

F*ck Israel - this is what your state will forever be associated with now

And yet the world won't even ban you from Eurovision 🇵🇸
They were terrorists too, were they?

#Israel must immediately be *BANNED* from all sporting events worldwide, as well as #Eurovision, as was the case with #SouthAfrica during the abhorrent apartheid era. The #Olympics, #FIFA, #EuropeanSoccer and #Eurovision cannot allow this genocidal nation to continue participating...*BAN THEM NOW!*

Damn RTVSLO! Go Slovenia! If only other broadcasters had an inch of their moral clarity. Slovenia has, the ESC would be in much better health. Let's all agree that Israel's continued participation both morally and artistically completely compromises the contest

Eurovision 2025 will not go down in history for any music or performance.
The competition will be remembered as it should be, an awful attempt to pull the veil over war crimes committed by one of the members.
Including Israel Has Brought Shame to the Eurovision Stage
The Eurovision Song Contest claims to celebrate unity, diversity, and peace through music. But in 2025, those ideals are collapsing under the weight of hypocrisy. By allowing Israel to participate…

“Daniel Levy, the president of the U.S./Middle East Project think tank, said that Israel’s government was ‘desperately trying to find soft power venues’ and that Eurovision was one of the few opportunities it had left.”

"Absent real reform, we risk turning Eurovision into just another vehicle for state propaganda—exactly the fate the EBU has spent six decades trying to avoid."

"The current Israeli government is not a practitioner of peace. In the long run, the EBU must set clearer rules for eligibility so that the contest really is about “love, love, peace, peace”. This year, Eurovision will not be an easy watch for the thoughtful fan."

Why is Israel still in Eurovision? The answer is more complex than you might think | Chris West
The war in Gaza means the European Broadcasting Union is risking its liberal reputation, but to ban Israel would be to undermine the organisation’s fundamental purpose, says author Chris West

Lol Eurovision wouldn't let the eastern bloc compete until the USSR fell while also letting Israel compete the whole time, even hosting one Eurovision on occupied Palestinian land

Anyone who claims Eurovision is apolitical is lying or stupid
I’m genuinely speechless

Belgium not in the final? With the best staging of the night? What the hell???

If I was in charge of Eurovision I’d be desperately trying not to turn off a generation of viewers who will be integral to its survival rather than appeasing a genocidal regime? But that’s just me.

Meanwhile, @eurovision.tv keeps on fighting against everyone else, allowing Israel to participate the event.

What makes Israel different from Russia? Money 🤑
Shame on you, Eurovision!

In quite a weak year like this one, What The Hell Just Happened at least stands on its own.
It's fun, has staging potential, and we know Remember Monday can sing well.
However, it is quite a lot to take in on one listen, but I felt that way about The Code initially.
I'm guessing a midtable finish
