Activists Condemn Israel’s Eurovision Participation

May 13, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators opposing Israel's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest rallied in the Swedish City of Malmo on 11 May. Around 6,000 to 8,000 protesters gathered at Malmo's central square and then headed to the contest site, carrying Palestinian flags and chanting "Eurovision united by genocide," a play on the contest's official motto, "united by music." Some demonstrators were also overheard chanting "Shame on you," directed at attendees entering the arena, urging for a boycott of this year's event due to Israel's participation. Pro-Palestinian audience members audibly "booed" Israeli Eurovision artist Eden Golan during her performance.
