Climate change activist Greta Thunberg was among more than 10,000 pro-Palestinian protesters who staged a rally in Sweden’s Malmo city against the participation of Israel in this weekend’s Eurovision song contest, Al Jazeera reports.
In the hours ahead of the Israeli entrant’s qualification for the finale, Thunberg joined thousands of other demonstrators who gathered in Malmo’s main square before marching through the southern Swedish city’s central pedestrian shopping street.
Hundreds of artists in Sweden and elsewhere have pushed for Israel to be blocked from taking part in the contest over its onslaught on Gaza.
