Eurovision Update


Nice to share the happy news that Israel made it into the finals of Eurovision, to be held Saturday night.

With thanks to the Times of Israel for pointing out that the European Broadcasting Union that televises Eurovision used its high-tech "anti-boo technology" (I'd make fun of the name, but will refrain because I'm glad there is such a thing) to make sure home viewers did not hear the hate in the actual arena.

A large rally protesting Israel participating in Eurovision (although, from the photos, it just seems to be an anti-Israel rally) was held in Malmo, and, sadly, another is planned to Saturday, when the final competition happens. 

Rooting for Eden and Israel! Shabbat Shalom!
