'Israel out of Eurovision': Thousands attend pro-Palestine rally in Malmo

Irish duo Jedward confirmed they intentionally left the arena during the Israeli act.

Palestine flags and keffiyehs were seen flying high in Malmö, Sweden, as a large-scale pro-Palestine protest took place throughout the Eurovision host city on Thursday.

The demonstration against Israel came ahead of the second semi-final in the song contest this evening, where the country performed the song ‘Hurricane’.
