5/13/26: Trump Says He Doesn't Care About Americans Finances, Male Employment Craters, Israel Most Hated Country On Earth In New Poll
What was said
"New York Times did this somewhat belated, but, you know, kind of significant investigation into whether or not Israel manipulated the voting so that their star that they had representing their country would come out on top. In these countries like Spain, where people really, really hate Israel and are very pro-Palestine, somehow the Israeli artist won overwhelmingly in Spain. Netanyahu himself posted a graphic that was like, vote 20 times for our superstar."
The New York Times revealed Israel manipulated Eurovision contest voting to counter global hatred during the Gaza genocide, with Netanyahu personally urging citizens to vote 20 times. Investigators found anomalous results in countries hostile to Israel like Spain and small nations where few votes could sway outcomes. Crystal Ball said it reveals Israel's mentality: rather than change behavior, rig perceptions.
