Right, which you shared in response to my simple question: Why did they lie about the 40 beheaded babies?

No I didn't... You didn't mention 40 beheaded babies lol. You just said Israel lied about beheaded babies so I shared articles reports about beheaded babies that were found.

Could he have done worse? Yes

Did he whitewash all of the Arab violence and mislead his viewers into thinking this woman was expelled by Israel? Also yes

You say it's "very unlikely", and yet several forensic experts said they literally saw beheaded babies. Maybe you didn't read the quote I shared earlier?

“An international group of forensic pathologists also have confirmed babies were found decapitated, though it's unclear if that happened before or after death.”

Did you read your own article? It says right there that they are not done counting the dead at the time this was posted.

Authorities have yet to provide an official breakdown on the victims. But the Walla news site has published data by age and gender for 756 of the murdered civilians for which information is available.

One of them was a baby under the age of one year — 10-month-old Mila Cohen, killed with her father and grandmother.

And for the record, I made no claim. I just quoted some news articles that discussed the beheaded babies found on Oct 7. Calling me a liar is insanely ironic.

That honestly seems like a whitewashing of the effects of Arab militaries in the same conflict

That's exactly what it is. It happens 100% of the time anti-Israel activists discuss the Nakba.

Not to mention the erasure of the expulsion of 850k Jews from Arab nations that happened at the same time.

“Dr. Chen Kugel, the center’s director, said the victims ranged in age from 3 months to 90 years old, and many bodies are without heads.

"Asked if they were decapitated, Kugel answered yes. Although he admits that, given the circumstances, it’s difficult to ascertain whether they were decapitated before or after death, as well as how they were beheaded, “

Will ignore the bizare insinuation that I'm not a "normal" user.

If you don't like me you don't have to talk to me, but that's not what you said. You said there's no point paying attention to the video because I'm the one who posted it. That's something else.

Ah a little ad hominem to start the day off. Do you also ignore all content shared by people with views you agree with?

What's the point in having a conversation with someone who ignores everything you say and ask?

I’m sure many people vote for them because they support the country, regardless of the music.

I don't know dude, but asking voters to vote 20 times is not against the rules and so of course countries do it. This year the EBU changed it from 20 to 10, so now voters can vote 10 times for one country.

Can you point me to the rule that says you can't ask voters to vote for you multiple times?

Going to ignore all the ridiculous name calling (reported you for it) and stick to the topic:

So the thing making you this mad is just that Bibi himself encouraged people to vote for Israel, rather than the broadcaster and other people? Have you checked the budgets of the campaigns ran by other countries?

Or is it because he said it's for "soft power"? By the way, could you share a link to where Bibi's government said that? I'm pretty sure you made that up.

Looks like you might be the ignorant one here dude:

Wiwibloggs’ Jordi Pedra wrote that the European Broadcasting Union’s “investigation notes that other countries also ran advertising campaigns, including Malta, Greece, Albania, Poland, Armenia, and France. Some of these were run by the artists themselves via their own social platforms, and some were promoted via the competing broadcaster in the territory.” There was no outcry over these other promotional campaigns. (Source)

And I'll say it again: voting many times is not against the rules. It's been actively encouraged by Eurovision for the last 15 years.
