This year’s event takes place in the shadow of political tensions. The organizers decided that Israel would participate in the competition, which was met with protests from people opposed to state attacks on Palestinians. It is worth recalling that at least 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began its invasion of Palestine in October last year. The open war is a revenge for the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas – the terrorists killed 1,139 Israeli civilians and kidnapped others. For several months, Israel has been attacking, in addition to military targets, hospitals, refugee camps and residential districts in response – in many people’s opinion a decidedly disproportionate response.
Security escorted a man out of Eurovision. He broke the rules
The Eurovision Song Contest emphasizes that it is apolitical, but despite Russia’s attack on Ukraine, it removed Putin’s country from the competition. This year, the organizers are accused of double standards and hypocrisy. The representative of Israel, Eden Golan, performed during the second semi-final of the competition. Before the concert began, thousands of protesters took to the streets with Pakistani flags on the streets of Malmo.
Solidarity with Pakistanis was not allowed inside the building. The Eurovision organizers categorically banned bringing Palestinian symbols to the event venue. However, the artists managed to smuggle in references to those attacked by Israel in other ways. Footage also appeared online showing that some people managed to bring prohibited items into the Malmo Arena.
In one of the videos posted on the X website, we see a man waving a small Palestinian flag during Eden Golan’s performance. It didn’t take long for Eurovision security to react. Although there were thousands of people in the hall, the competition staff immediately caught the listener who was breaking the rules and took him out of the concert. The man tried to argue with the security, but it was to no avail. Security . she firmly led him out of the stadium without unnecessary explanations.
