Before Eurovision
Internal selection
An IBA committee voted on three potential entries, which the song "Sameyakh", performed by PingPong received the most points and thus represented Israel at the 2000 contest.[1]
The selection process caused controversy after radio entertainer/writer Irit Linor, one of the committee members declared that she was uninterested. When Linor was asked whether she thought PingPong's singing stood a chance, Linor replied: "Who cares?".

gollark: This also obsoletes `assert.h`.
gollark: `errno.h` is unnecessary because osmarkslibc functions are incapable of failure.
gollark: `stdarg.h` seems bad, functions should only have one arity.
gollark: `stdatomic.h` is unnecessary if we just remove threading.
gollark: `stdio.h` goes against functional purity so that can be dropped.
