There's a lot of talk about Eurovision 2024. Imagine "American Idol" at the peak of its popularity, but instead of individuals competing, you have entire countries. Each country picks a performer to represent it and the winner gets bragging rights.
The pro-Hamas crowd is very involved with this year's Eurovision competition, seeing as Israel is competing.
Here's Israeli singer Eden Golan.
Heart stopping performance.

We love you Eden.

The competition is being held in Malmö, Sweden, and Golan has been advised not to leave her hotel room because of the anti-Israel protests.

Who knew Sweden was so pro-Palestinian? Even Greta Thunberg showed up to protest (we're not sure how she got there without using fossil fuels). Check out this crowd:

Around 15 000 anti-Israel protesters are marching through Malmö right now in protest against Israel being allowed to compete in Eurovision Song Contest.
They are chanting:
“We will crush zionism”
“There’s only 1 solution. Intifada revolution”

Thinks are sketchy inside the competition as well:

The woman instead says ‘Ireland’, leading to the host giving her a chance to correct herself- but instead she again says ‘Ireland.’

Host: “I think we have somewhat of a technical problem.” The head judge then correctly announces Israel as the winner of Finland’s judges vote.
"Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot, who's taken flak for being Israeli, called Golan ahead of the final:

Indeed.
Sure - it’d be nice if the Palestinians could be part of Eurovision one day - but the last time Palestinians entered a music festival it was to rape, murder, torture and kidnap children.

That’s a big nil points for me.
I believe our own Fuzzy Chimp has a post coming about Ireland's entry this year, because they've got quite a story:

Ireland's representative 31-year-old Bambie Thug, who identifies as a “Goth-Gremlin-Goblin-Witch” and practices "neo-pagan blood magic" during menstruation—says she cried when she heard that Golan had made the finals.

How sad.
Imagine hating Jewish people so much that you cry when you hear a few of them are competing in a song competition.

Imagine the streets of Malmö being occupied by thousands of people with Palestinian Flags protesting because an Israeli is competing in a singing competition. Who knew Sweden was so pro-Palestinian?
