"A finger in the eye": Israeli creators are angry about the way the song was chosen for Eurovision - voila! culture. Corporation decisions here not to allow all creators to compete for the writing of the song and adding the possibility at the last minute for foreign creators to participate in writing it, caused anger among creators.
"For fifty years Israel has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest and makes sure that the creators are Israelis," says Toossi Gisfa. "I personally refused to submit a poem, but I think that the possibility of submission was available to all residents of Israel," adds Yossi.
