You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Israel''' was present at the [[1988 Eurovision Song Contest]] held in [[Dublin]], Ireland. They were represented by [[Yardena Arazi]] with the song "Ben Adam".

== Before Eurovision ==

=== ''Kdam Eurovision'' 1988 ===
For the 1988 edition of Israel's annual national selection, Yardena Arazi was internally selected by the [[Israeli Broadcasting Authority]] (IBA) to be the national representative.<ref>((cite web |title=Israeli National Final 1988 |url=http://natfinals.50webs.com/70s_80s/Israel1988.html |website=Eurovision National Finals |access-date=20 June 2020))</ref> Previously, she had competed in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1976|1976 contest]] as a member of [[Shokolad, Menta, Mastik|Chocolate, Menta, Mastik]], who finished sixth with the song "Emor Shalom". She also co-hosted the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1979|1979 contest]] alongside [[Daniel Pe'er]] in Jerusalem. She competed in the 1982, 1983, and 1985 national finals, finishing as runner-up in the first two and third in the latter, and co-hosted the 1987 edition alongside [[Yoram Arbel]]. For 1988, seeing as she had a high stature in Israeli popular music and still wished to compete, the IBA decided it was only fair to let her automatically take the slot as the country's representative, and use the national final to select her song.

The 1988 ''Kdam Eurovision'' was held on 27 March 1988 at the IBA Studios in Jerusalem and hosted by [[Rivka Michaeli]]. Arazi performed four songs, from which four national juries selected the one that would compete in Ireland. "Ben Adam," composed by Boris Dimitshtein and written by Ehud Manor (who also wrote the lyrics to several prior and future Israeli entries, including 1978 international champion "[[A-Ba-Ni-Bi]]"), was eventually chosen as the Israeli entry.

==At Eurovision==
As the story goes, when Arazi was initially approached to compete in Ireland, she consulted with her psychic, as she was very superstitious and wanted to be sure it was the right call. Her psychic informed her that the song drawn ninth would win the 1988 contest - which, as it happened, was the slot Israel was drawn to perform in (following [[Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988|the Netherlands]] and preceding [[Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988|Switzerland]]). She agreed to do it, only to be moved up to perform eighth following the withdrawal of [[Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest|Cyprus]] (who had been drawn to perform second). Switzerland, who were now performing ninth, did in fact win. However, Arazi was reportedly still in high spirits during her week in Dublin, and Israel left with a very satisfactory seventh place among twenty-one competing entries.<ref>((cite web |title=Final of Dublin 1988 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/dublin-1988/final |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=16 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416200506/https://eurovision.tv/event/dublin-1988/final |archive-date=16 April 2021 |url-status=live))</ref> Her backing performers included two members of [[Milk and Honey (Israeli group)|Milk and Honey]], who won the 1979 edition with "[[Hallelujah (Milk and Honey song)|Hallelujah]]". The Israeli jury awarded their twelve points to [[Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988|Yugoslavia]]'s [[Srebrna krila]] with the song "Mangup".
