Eurovision 2024: SVT regrets choosing Malmö as the host city?

One of the most well-known radio producers on Israeli public radio, Yigal Ravid, mentioned today on a KAN radio program that members of the Swedish broadcaster admitted to the Israeli delegation that Malmö’s selection as the 2024 Eurovision host city was apparently a mistake.

For SVT and the EBU, choosing Malmö to host the 68th Eurovision Song Contest is turning out to be a major security risk. With over 70,000 Muslims calling this city home, it is widely regarded as the most pro-Palestinian city in the nation, with numerous anti-Israel demonstrations occurring literally every day.

When the host city was chosen, the events of October 7th had obviously not occurred. But now that the situation is tense, this option appears dangerous.

On the other hand, Stockholm was out of the running due to Taylor Swift’s concerts which coincide with Eurovision, as well as the refusal of the city’s football teams. Hence, there was no arena available, making Malmö the only choice for hosting the event.

Eurovision 2024 approaches, with security measures tighter than ever before, as the EBU and Swedish organizers face their most difficult challenge.

    Muslim hatred for Jews and Israel has nothing to do with Gaza. I know that in Malmö they CELEBRATED the barbaric massacre and mass rape of Oct 7. These are half human genetic mutations. Yet Swedish ” tolerance” means accepting and encouraging Muslim violence and antisemitism.

      I’m guessing you’re Israeli? Because otherwise I have no idea where you’ve gotten this idea. I remember when Trump said he saw Muslims in Jersey City celebrate 9/11. That, like this, has no evidence to support it; because it never happened.

      By saying, “These are half human genetic mutations”, you claim they are subhuman. That is dehumanizing to a dangerous level. That is how genocides happen.

      People who support Palestine see what the Israeli military is doing – bombing houses at night, thereby killing sleeping women and children, shooting people waving white flags and blowing up buildings while laughing about it. See how independent sources are covering this, you might be shocked to see how deceived you have been.

        What do you mean it didn’t happen? It’s an easy google search. I was myself in Malmö during the celebrations. Honking cars all over the city and teenagers making peace signs and screaming of joy. Some security guards (not police) were also participating in the celebrations.
