I've never watched Eurovision because, well, it's not my sort of thing. Singing contests pitting country representatives against each other is a weird team sport. But in a world where people eat British food, many weird things are popular.
But it is a thing in Europe and has been for decades. It's like soccer, proving there is no accounting for taste.
One of the singers in the current competition is from Israel, and this is too much for the hundreds of thousands of antisemites who have been using the war in Gaza as an excuse to let their freak flag fly. In Europe, in 2024, a Jewish woman's life is being threatened for being from Israel.
In Europe 2024, a Jewish woman needs 100+ police officers to protect her from antisemites.

Not 1939.
Not 1944.
2024. https://t.co/fiSW234jPW
This year the contest is being held in Sweden, and as you undoubtedly know, Sweden has gone from being a safe and orderly society to one in which Islamists are bombing each other while complaining that they need more welfare.
These bullies are harassing Eden Golan because she’s a Jewish artist who dared to go to Malmo.

Mind you, Malmo is not safe for Jews every day of the week. All of my Jewish friends have fled Malmo.
Shame on Sweden.

It's hard to imagine that a young girl who just wants to sing is getting so much hate. But this is 2024. In cities across the West, hatred toward Westerners has become almost de rigueur. If you are a young person or Muslim, you are almost violating the strict etiquette rules set down by all the best people if you don't chant for Hamas.
It's 2024, after all. The inversion of values is becoming complete. Barbarism is the new hotness.

Massive crowd of anti-Israel activists gather in the Swedish city of Malmö- protesting against a 20 year old Israeli singer participating in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Perhaps that is a bit hyperbolic, but not as much as I would like it to be. The hatred is hardly universal; it is shared mainly by elites who have allied themselves with some Muslim immigrants whom those elites invited in by the million. Elites are now actually contemplating taking in refugees from Gaza, whom no Arab country wants anything to do with.
Those countries know how poisonous the Palestinian ideology is. Every country that has taken in significant numbers of Palestinians has regretted it.
Israeli Eurovision singer Eden Golan was ordered to stay in her hotel room by her country's national security agency as thousands of pro-Palestine protesters, inc Greta Thunberg, demonstrated in Malmo, calling for her to be excluded from the competition.https://t.co/kQzpDX10jE

I am pretty sure that the average European of European descent is repelled by what they are seeing in the streets. At least, I hope so. The chanting and violence we see around us don't represent most people outside the noisy Marxist fringe. And, of course, the migrants who are bragging about bringing Sharia to the West.
Swedes have been held hostage to the disastrous policies pushed on them by the elite. Malmo, where the Eurovision contest is being held this year, is known as the rape capital of Europe, and most of those rapists are not Swedes. You know who they are, right?
It's those people mobbing an Israeli girl.

Unfortunately, as we have seen with Biden, that noisy fringe can have an outsized impact on politicians who know that passion is a political multiplier. For example, most Americans aren't freaked out by climate change, but look at the policies put in place to fight it. Our economies are being eviscerated because a small group of people will go to great extremes.
Dear Israelis,

I apologise on behalf of the sound and reasonable parts of the Swedish population for the way your citizens, your fans and your representative Eden Golan has been treated and met by the radical left in Sweden.
It is deeply embarassing that Eric Saade was neither… pic.twitter.com/tLSa1uX7Eh
Unfortunately, there is a huge group of people who just want the controversy to go away, and the easiest way to do that is to give in to the worst elements that cause all the trouble. Anti-Hamas protesters aren't rampaging across the world, so they aren't a problem. In a sane world that would draw more support, but we live in a fallen one. It is easier to get peace and quiet by giving in to those having the tantrum. So, many people do. They fall in line.
Eden Golan, the Israeli representative at the Eurovision Song Contest, was booed by the crowd at y-day’s rehearsal in Malmö, Sweden

Her song is about how to cope with friends dying on Oct. 7
25% of Malmö’s pop. on 350K consists of Muslim migrants

Europeans have an easy way to strike back at the hate, and that is to vote for Eden Golan. But even that is a shame because whether you care about the concert or not, in an ideal world it wouldn't be a political thing in the first place. It is a singing contest, not a proxy war.
Or should be.
Of course, Ireland got to choose its entry into the contest, and they chose this monstrosity.

So we have an Israeli singing about coping with October 7th, and a demon in a pentagram.
This is literally demonic. And our National broadcaster RTÉ are supporting this open witchcraft. Disgusting. #Eurovision2024 #Ireland #CrownTheWitch #BambieThug #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/p7OiqHiIo7
