Israel's song is alleged to have references to last year's Hamas attacks, breaking neutrality rules.

    They usually are a decent entry so quality wise it would be. But morally it would not be.

      This year’s entry sounds pretty horrendous:

      Described as a “moving and powerful ballad” the song is based around the refrain “I’m still wet from this October rain”.

      In the verse, Golan sings: “Who told you boys don’t cry/ Hours and hours/ And flowers/ Life is not a game for the cowards.”

      The reference to flowers is significant, according to Israel Hayom, as it is military slang for war fatalities.

      The song then ends in Hebrew: “There’s no air left to breathe/ There’s no place/ No me, from day to day.”
