Some 171 Swedish artists and celebrities have signed an open letter urging for the boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest which is scheduled to be held in Israel next month.
“We, Swedish artists and cultural workers who have signed this call, cannot quietly watch Israel use the Eurovision Song Contest to conceal their crimes against the Palestinian people”, the appeal published in the Aftonbladet newspaper said.
“Just a few days after the Israeli victory in the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2018, Israel’s army killed 62 Palestinians who protested against their prison-like imprisonment in Gaza. Six of those murdered were children.”
