Thousands of demonstrators, including climate activist @gretathunberg have gathered in the Swedish city of Malmö to protest against Israel's participation in Eurovision. Thunberg told the BBC there was a "moral obligation to act" and speak out against Israel's military operation in Gaza. "It's not true that the Eurovision is not political, it has always been political, and it will always be," said another protestor, Matilda Varatta, who told Reuters that she would like to see Israel disqualified as Russia was in 2022. Tonight sees the song contest's second semi-final, in which Israel's Eden Golan is performing. The final will take place on Saturday May 11.
