Eden Golan, a Eurovision contestant from Israel, endured a stream of boos back of her singing efficiency at the semi- last in Malmo, Sweden, which has significantly became a city brimming with extreme antisemitism.
Following the Middle East conflict, there have been numerous campaigns to stop Israel from competing in this year’s competition, according to the BBC.
Israel’s refusal to be a part of the European Broadcast Union ( EBU) was refuted and Israel’s representative accepted as its representative. She received a boo from the crowd.
” Speaking on Sunday, the deputy director general of the EBU, Jean Philip De Tender, said if you’ exclude Kan ( Israeli public broadcaster ) outside of these competition rules, that would have been a political decision, as such, which we cannot take,’ because it considers itself as an apolitical organization”, added the BBC.

Golan first wanted to sing her original music, October Rain, but switched to the music Hurricane.
Eurovision’s 2023 success Loreen told the BBC that she understood the demonstrations but denounced those who booed Golan, calling it” no good” and “unconstructive”.
” All of us are affected by what’s going on]but ] we do n’t know what to do, because it’s such a complex situation”, the Swedish singer said. ” Some react with anger, some scream, some shut down. We are unique in that way, so I understand where it]the protesting ] comes from”.
As Breitbart News reported, the town of Malmo has progressively become a hotbed of hatred.
” The exceedingly dwindling Jewish society of Malmö, Sweden – a town that has developed a , reputation , for being a hub of Islamist antisemitism in the past decade – fears targeted attacks this week as their home hosts the Eurovision Song Contest, attracting large pro- Arab mobilizations”, noted the report.
” Jewish residents told the German newspaper , Die Welt , they feel they are’ not welcome in]their ] own city” and that many have chosen to simply leave town while the contest is going on,’ “it added.
” There is a general feeling of uncertainty. You have the feeling that you are not welcome in your own city,” Daniel Janouch, chairman of the Jewish Youth Association, told the German newspaper”. During the ESC, I am aware of several Jewish people who want to leave Malmö.
