There are always people who dislike the winning song from a musical aspect and wish another entry would have won.

But this year they are joined by more ominous haters: People who hate Israel and people who hate feminism.

Israel won with a song which call guys who use women stupid chickens.

I mean, I just think it's a bad song. Not bothered by the message itself.

But then I think Eurovision is often filled with bad songs, but that's half the fun in watching tbh.

Yeah, the sentiment is perfectly fine.

Just...present it in a less obnoxious way.

Eurovision is owned by an organisation called the European Broadcasting Union. Israel is a Full Member of the EBU since many decades. EBU-membership is what allows you to compete at Eurovision.

Australia got EBU-membership too but they are not a Full Member and therefore have to be invited by the host country each year.

In order to be a full member of the European Broadcasting Union, your country needs to be in the European Broadcasting Area. Israel is in the European Broadcasting Area, and therefore can be a full member.
