I think that could be selection bias. The people who are boycotting Eurovision didn’t vote, leaving only those who are pro Israel. The UK has a huge, motivated, Zionist lobby (think of the hit job they did on Corbyn). So I could see them voting in large numbers.
Yet the UK’s popular vote give Israel 12. The song wasn’t strong and I did think Israel wasn’t popular here right now.
