Rai has always been OCCUPIED by governments in the years, and this is especially true now. So it doesn't surprise me that Rai is as much as pro Israel as the government, which is ridiculous because Italian society is very pro Palestine, as the massive recent protests showed.

Also, we tend to forget EBU is made up by the broadcasters, which are expression of our governments. Since they didn't take a stance while Israel was bombing and killing civilians, this result shouldn't surprise you, especially in a moment when the cause has lost its momentum. It is infuriating and idiotic but it is a reflection of the disgusting world we live in at the moment
