Don't try to play the amateur psychologist with my. I'm not frustrated in any way.
Whether you did it on purpose of without knowing, you used a well known antisemitic rhetoric that has nothing to do with diaspora voting in the ESC. The fact that you think there is such a thing than "sexual orientation diaspora" let me assume that you rather did it inadvertently, as you seem to have no clear understanding what the term diaspora actually means.
A diaspora (from Greek διασπορά, "scattering, dispersion") is a scattered population whose origin lies within a smaller geographic locale. Diaspora can also refer to the movement of the population from its original homeland.
So there are no "types of diaspora" as you assume.
Which brings me back to your "sexual orientation diaspora". Please show me the country or nation, that is defined by the sexual orientation of its citizens who emigrated to other countries to form a diaspora there. This is complete and utter nonsense.
The diaspora voting is thus a relatively constant positive effect for some countries where there has been a lot of emigration over the last decades or, in the case of Armenia, over the last century. The effect is due to the national identification in the first place. But this is clearly NOT the decisive reason for winning, as the recent victories of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and especially Germany or Austria prove.
Israel has not seen a lot of Israeli emigrating to other countries since the foundation of the modern state, but rather the other way round. Furthermore, Israel has had very different results over the years from winning to being last, so there is clearly NO diaspora voting that plays a role here. (If there had been, Israel would for sure have qualified for instance in 2014). So when you talk about millions of jews in the world (which is ridiculous to bring up here since the overwhelming majority of them are in the United States, and don't even have the chance to vote in the ESC) you refer to a much older diaspora that plays absolutely NO role in the ESC.
So instead of suggesting for me to "open my eyes" (another term often used in conspiracy theory rhetoric), I give you back a piece of advice: do some reading.
