For fans of the contest, of which I am one, this is at minimum frustrating and at maximum enraging. Two years in a row now this contest has been hijacked by the Israel issue, mercifully less so this year than last year but it still happened again. In the Eurovision fan community we often speak about “Post Eurovision Depression”, the huge crash you feel after being excited for weeks about Eurovision and then having it suddenly end. Now we talk about “Post Eurovision Relief”. The whole thing has become a harrowing, anxiety-ridden annual ritual now. Watching Eurovision is no longer fun. How many years are we going to have to experience this terrifying coin- toss at the end of the show to see if the contest is about to be destroyed?
