Since many Jews aren’t necessarily Zionist outside of Israel is there any reason to suggest that they would have automatically voted for Israel?

And frankly our entry deserves nil points.

The truth is that there was obviously an organized, dedicated effort by Israel supporters to give their votes to Golan in the face of intense threats and hatred, and it clearly drew votes from many who don’t otherwise tune into the Eurovision each year.

It's brilliant news.

Naturally the UK is quick to say that now is not the right time. Because the right time is when the USA say it's the right time. Which is probably never.

Macron could take a flyer on this, would be huge to have 1 of the large Central European states on board. Germany thinks 2 wrongs make a right and Britain in no rush to rescue their own cluster fuck from a 100 years ago

Australia could follow soon also

Germany supplies 30% of Israel's arms imports, so they will have nothing to do with this.

But there's a fair chance of a large number of non-western countries getting on board.

As well as ordering an end to the occupation as soon as possible, the court, which consists of 15 judges, said Israel must put an end to all unlawful acts, including ceasing all new settlement activity and repealing legislation that maintains the occupation, including that which discriminates against Palestinians or seeks to modify the demographic composition of any parts of the occupied territory.

Salam said reparations included restitution, compensation and/or satisfaction, defining the former as “Israel’s obligation to return the land and other immovable property, as well as all assets seized from any natural or legal person since its occupation started in 1967, and all cultural property and assets taken from Palestinians and Palestinian institutions, including archives and documents.

“It also requires the evacuation of all settlers from existing settlements and the dismantling of the parts of the wall constructed by Israel that are situated in the occupied Palestinian territory, as well as allowing all Palestinians displaced during the occupation to return to their original place of residence.”
