Greta Thunberg does not like Israel. She does not recognise that Hamas did on October 7 when it destroyed the folks of Israel and killed 1 200 of them, taking over 130 hostages. 

But she only has contempt for Israel, ”More than ten thousand anti-Israel protesters, including Greta Thunberg, descended on the arena where the contest was held in Malmo, Sweden, in the day’s leading up to the competition final.”

”Greta Thunberg has accused Israel of “artwashing” its reputation at the Eurovision Song Contest after she joined pro-Palestinian protesters calling for a boycott of the event.”

“Israeli singer Eden Golan, whose emotional song Hurricane was reworked from a previous track called October Rain, thought to be a reference to the Hamas attacks on Israel, will take part in the final on Saturday evening." She finished fifth.
