Eurovision 2024: Malmö Calling

Eurovision hasn't been a completely safe bet for puritanical family friendly fun for years. Thats not to say that I think they've ever crossed a line, but anyone watching in 2024 must be aware that there might be a touch of gaudy, titillating eurotrash, whether it be Dita Von Teese doing burlesque or enthusiastic Polish milkmaids. It's always existed in a bit of a vacuum, in that aside from the occasional song troubling the charts it is for the most part culturally irrelevant. Once the nights over, it's pretty much all forgotten about. 

The Israel situation is likely a combination of two things. They are extremely effective at getting their message out. If the county you lived in suddenly became independent and adopted a made up language, any Israeli spokesperson appearing on local TV would almost certainly be speaking that made up language, and they may even have a local accent. The other factor is that it's easy to underestimate how much support there actually is for Israel. It's not a silent majority, but it's big enough to not be insignificant. 

Edit - Adding the most underrated entry in the history of the competition. For reference.
