The Eurovision Song Contest was mired in further controversy on Wednesday when the Israeli contestant's dress rehearsal performance was met with boos and shouts of "Free Palestine" from the audience.

"Easily the most booing I've ever heard at #Eurovision but no major disruptions of Israel at the first show with a crowd," journalist Ben Rothenberg posted on X, formerly Twitter.

"Eurovision ignored public backlash and outrage from other musicians over Israel being allowed to perform at Eurovision while it continues its genocidal slaughter in Gaza," posted another user alongside a clip from the show.

Yes, they should be booed when they spread their propaganda in any country.
