Israel’s entry in this year’s Eurovision contest finished a credible third in the final round.
Noa Kirel confounded the critics with her outstanding performance. She had to battle the usual inbuilt bias against Israel, especially as this year the contest took place in the midst of yet another barrage of rockets from Gaza.

However, like the arrival of the Messiah, we look forward to their eventual arrival.

Naturally, this is another reality that the international media ignores.
