Eurovision 'didn't need the politics' say fans as competition wraps up in Malmo | AFP

Eurovision fans criticise the booing that could be heard as Israel's entry performed in Saturday night's event. "We didn't need the politics" says David, a head teacher from Ireland. This year's Song Contest was held amid tension over Israel's participation, with protesters gathering in Malmo to demonstrate against the ongoing war in Gaza, which began in October last year following a deadly attack by the militant group Hamas.

Well unnecessary politics u say... This wasn't even about the politics, it was about human lives. Stop pretending ESC is not political, this is political states competing against eachother and this is what makes it exciting every year. If it were just a unification for love and peace it would have been a festival of artists showing their differences and similarities that go beyond political boundaries of todays political states. It is also thanks to politics that this enormous event can be funded, so please... grow up and take a stand
