“What Extent Of Criticising Israel Is Supporting Hamas?" | Eden Golad Through To Final Of Eurovision

Israeli singer Eden Golan advanced to the Eurovision Song Contest final through public votes despite protests supporting Gaza in Malmö, Sweden, where the contest is held.
Golan faced mixed reactions during rehearsals and the semi-final, with cheers and boos.
Ireland's Bambie Thug, a non-binary contestant, urged the European Broadcasting Union to show 'empathy and conscience,' over Israel's advancement in Gaza and Rafah.
Bambie and other contestants including the UK's Olly Alexander, Finland's Windows95Man and Switzerland's Nemo - have called for a ceasefire in Gaza and the "safe return" of Israeli hostages in a joint statement.
Bambie also said the EBU prevented them from displaying a pro-Palestinian message during their performance during the first semi-final.
Cristo and Dr Renee Hoenderkamp speak with The Sun On Sunday's showbiz editor, Hannah Hope.

This is how it started in 1933 and it continued until 1945, it must not happen again, and this is one of the reasons the Jews returned to Israel.

[@RoxanneLavender]

Exactly. And the moment we all stop standing up for Israel and become sick and tired of it, is the moment they will organise and do who knows what, like what happened between 1933 and 1945. We all have to keep speaking out. Here's where that quote comes in, 'first they came for the Jews and i didn't speak for the Jews because i am not a Jew... then they came for me'

Joost Klein did not support Eden Golan, but quite the opposite put on her. At the press conference Eden got a question from one of the journalists what her thoughts were about the protests. The Swedish moderator quickly came to her rescue and told her that she didn’t have to answer that, then Joost Klein blurted out ”why not??!!” in a provocative tone, putting Eden in an awkward situation.
