As there has been some interest in a live thread such as the ones on r/eurovision, here is the live thread for the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Sadly, I didn’t find any Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/. But as this community is still pretty small, I think refreshing the website once after each song should be okay.

Considering there's absolutely no transparency in the voting process, I have a hard time believing it's not rigged.

Even the invasion of Crimea wasn't an attempt at genocide.

And it wasn't even that a good a song compared to some of the others that didn't get in.

People often reeeeally overestimate the representativeness of their own bubble. As a reality check, I just looked on the Youtube live comments and searched for Israel and basically all of them are positive:

Of course this can be due to the chat being moderated and some things being deleted (although there were also Free Palestine comments), but saying that there are no fans of that song / entry is just wrong.

Those are heavily moderated to be pro Israel. So is r/Eurovision.
