Eurovision contest 'safe' for all participants, Israeli singer says | AFP

"I think it's safe for everyone," Israeli singer Eden Golan tells a news conference in Malmo, Sweden, after a reporter asked whether she believed her presence at the Eurovision song contest might endanger other participants as Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza continues. Earlier in the day, thousands of protesters marched in the city to voice their opposition to Israel's participation in the event.

Dude, you have to realign with reality and maybe drop the entitlement and the privilege. Eden has any right of being there safely as any other contestants. As per your equation to Russia, Russia invaded, Israel is defending from an invasion and a massacre. Israel is like Ukraine, except with better military capabilities. Maybe stop automatically siding with the weak and start siding with who defends from a war brought onto them? It's too easy to cry when you lose a war you started. You're Polish, right? What would have been your reaction, hypothetically speaking, if Poland managed to destroy the Nazi regime after Hitler invaded? And what if the world was angry at you because you were killing "innocent Germans" while the SS was hiding among them or using their residential buildings, schools and hospitals as weapon and rocket deposit? Hypothetically speaking, because we all know it didn't go that way.

@@rejuno1991 it is not genocidal because population in Gaza increased and it is one of the most populated place in the world. Also it is not apartheid because in Gaza there were not any Israeli, only Arabs and they get western help not to build houses but many kilometers of tunnels and used pipes not for water but for missiles targeting Israeli s citizens. In Apartheid there were white people while in Palestine the only Israelis are hostages. Also the winner of Eurovision the "Nemo" couldn't survive a day in Palestine because of Hamas regime. And Israel has weapons of massive destruction but they don't use them, while Palestine would use them the same way they send missiles to people in Israel indiscriminately.
