Woke jury?

This just proves my point that this is a totally stupid contest. There's nothing objective about it. It's as meaningless as it can get. Yet people in Israel (and Europe?) make a big issue out of it.

It is a contest. Everything is subjective.

As phrased by CNN

News Alert: Switzerland wins Eurovision after politically charged song contest upstaged by Israel controversy

Switzerland’s Nemo won a chaotic and politically fraught Eurovision Song Contest, triumphing in a competition in Sweden that was upstaged by controversy over the presence of Israel.

The typically jovial event – one of the most-watched in the world’s cultural calendar – descended into turmoil in recent days, as organizers tried and failed to contain anger aimed towards Israel’s delegation.

They can point out the discrepancy while providing multiple theories or none, but it is still of interest.

In sports (or other skills such as chess, rubik's cube, etc) tournaments winnings are (mostly) objective.

You'll have a tough time convincing me that the Eurovision is very high on the irrelevant and stupid contests.

No way they were going to allow Israel to host it next year.

The narrative they are trying to portray is obvious. But as I said:

I love how he uses the numbers for his narrative.
A two-year-old can blow his logic out of the water.

I'm not arguing, but do you think a majority does hate us?

I mean, Israeli have done EVERYTHING to disprove רק עם חכם ונבון הגוי הגדול הזה, but do you think they would stoop even lower (given the chance)? How stupid do they need to be to WANT to host it?

The majority of who? Those who voted publicly, NO!
The numbers are two big to claim fraud.

I believe the public vote was not based on politics but on the singer's performance.

I was referring to the judges, not Israel.

Let's not go overboard over how a Jewish girl performing parts on Shabbos against Tznius is going to save us all.

TBH. As it should be quite obvious at this point, I find this entire thing way too stupid to be arguing merits or positions. I simply don't care about it. The only thing in this context that I care about is that seemingly intelligent people give this any mental space. That is bothersome.
