But why did they get so many viewer points? I feel like the rich people are at fault

If you're a pro-Israel viewer, there's one country you can vote for

If you're an anti-Israel viewer, there's like 25 countries you can vote for, they're not organized to put their votes behind any particular country.

They don't have ranked choice voting in a song contest.

Hopefully, by Israel spending money on propaganda and voting instead of bombs, on,y to draw more attention, instead.

Propaganda is way, way, way cheaper than weapons though.

Israel has malware for phones that is unnoticeable on devices. They could easily make phones send in text message votes without the phone owners noticing. It's a propaganda event they can't afford to miss.
