This question is so disgusting 🤢 So, she is “guilty” because someone potentially wants to hurt her?!?!
She is guilty for representing a nation waging a brutal war against civilians and supporting it. Russia would have risked the ESC, they were banned. She is still there

@@michaelmuller159you mean against terrorist organization which is supported by majority of population?!
@@michaelmuller159
You wrote nonsense. There is a war that Hamas started. Israel is fighting Hamas, Hamas is hiding behind civilians, so some civilians die. It doesn't make it Israel's fault. Every death is on Hamas.
@@michaelmuller159I mean Israel was attacked and now they are in a war... don't see why they need to be hated for this and votes in eurovision proved it
I'm not sure Russian singers would agree.

Unbelievable how the double standard is so brutal. Why she is fault that there are people who want to harm her? Insane and shame for blame the victim

@@_mirendal_ Ok so what?
@@_mirendal_ she is 20, girls don't join the IDF at 20 but at 18, and it's not up to what people "want", it's a compulsory service.
Not the legend himself, Joost Klein (Netherlands) yelling: "Why not!?", when someone told her she didn't need to answer that question.
Joost had a punishment today from EBU. So desrespectful.
It’s called bullying
It's embarrassing
To be honest I found the question silly and Joost very out of place
So apparently if you're direct it's bullying or embarrassing, lol what about introverts? I'm dutch just so you know. I bet a lot of dutch people would have said the same thing. We in the Netherlands have something called freedom of speech. We take it very seriously. And this is not an idea. We are just who we are. Don't disrespect the Dutch. Every nation has something going on. Don't prejudice other nations.
It should be safe for everyone regardless their faith/ religion or ethnicity. Can't believe I have to write this in 2024!!!
Say that to Palestinians.
@@hfaouzi4332how can one justify the other?

this journalist's question was inappropriate and that's an understatement you can sense the hate! sickening! he should be fired!
As he should. Only a sick person wouldn't hate a genocidal state.

I'm proud of this brave man!
The only risk there was came from people who forced the politics violently into the competition.
Y'all brought a dangerous riot against a 20 year old competitor and her audience shout with death threats in a music event that's supposed to promote peace.
So stop blaming her, keep your argument outside of Eurovision
I'm from Sweden, and she is my favorite!! : )
She is so brave at this age. She showed art and politics should not be mixed and answered so gratefully true human being.
Her song literally has October 7th in it
Tal Minick and Sofia Orr have more courage in their respective pinkie fingers than Golan has in her entire body.
@@airbusa380enjoyer Yes of the massacre of her people by terrorists, that started this current war that will soon end.
What a BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED WOMAN ❤
Booooooo
Can we talk about how childish the representative of Greece was that she acted as if she was falling asleep from Eden's answers? Eden did not disrespect anyone there and as a human being she deserves the same respect back.
Disrespectful and childish.
It wasn’t just disrespectful… I think it is a shame for the country when such person represent it and even don’t know about the simplest rules of behaviour… We could fall asleep when Greece representative was answering and had words limitations to answer simplest questions😂
I fell asleep during Greece's performance too
@antonm918 It's a shame for a country when they unalive civilians and children. If Israel isn't ashamed of its treatment of Palestinians then why should we be ashamed of Marinas behavior?
If you want respect you have to respect human life first, otherwise you can't complain when others don't respect you.
Eden's presence alone is disrespecting the artists because there were so many artists who wanted to show their support for Palestine and yet they weren't allowed express themselves freely because Israel was there and if they did it they would be disqualified and all their hard work would go to waste.
Marina wanted to say things about the palestine and Israel situation but because she weren't allowed to say anything all she could do was make faces.
i dont understand why is he asking her.
If he wants to know wether the Eurovision is safe fore why doesnt he asks the EBU?
Why is he asking her if he is safe from the people protesting.
Its like asking a battered wife is it safe to be in the same room with her if her husband decide to hit her.😮
He asked her because she came with security to Mälmo!
Well.. If you just could see the videos from outside of her hotel. Lolol seems the opposite to me. @@Milka088
@@Milka088duh... Wouldn't you do the same thing if you were in her shoes? Think about that for a sec.
@@kyazumizerk9270 Think about it, are the other people around her safe?
@@Milka088 she answered that question already. So listen to her words.
I can't get the question.
How does she bring danger to the other participants?
She doesn't. Some people want to harm her, so this "journalist" is victim blaming her.
Her entourage routinely harassed, provoked, and threatened the entrants from countries that had condemned the assault on Gaza so they could cry "Wolf!" for their home crowd.
She poses no threat to anyone. The jihadists are the ones that pose a threat to people's lives. The journalist is not only suggesting that it's better to be cowed and yield to the threat of violence but also pre-emptively blaming the victim of such an attack.
Sweden turns to the military as it fails to curb organised crime and murders
Do u have any idea on the number of journalist killed by israel
@@theidiotictroublemaker2281 No, plese tell us, Name, date, place!
@@theidiotictroublemaker2281 Tell us! Please 🙏🏼🥺😢
but it's safer for some than for others.
Interviewer question and tone is accusatory .
I really doubt, that you need to be afraid of guys in kippah. And if you are afraid of bearded men who are prone to violence, then maybe it’s not Israel’s fault?
That's antisemitic.
What a disgusting journalism
The question was clearly meant to instigate and Joost Klein behaved childish. A mature approach from the Dutch team would’ve been not taking part at all in the ESC as a form of protests.
They edited this video heavily! The full video is on a Swedish site! They said you don’t have to answer this question then the guy for Netherlands said “why not” then she said her piece.
Vive Israël, soutien total !
Is that man serious? What is wrong with him?? Maybe he should ask himself what is the reason he feels unsafe and not bulling a 20 years old talented girl. Shame on you
Maybe he should ask Palestinians if they feel safe while this genocide barbie plays victim?
Why is that bullying, it's just a normal question: 'why not?"
Try communicating once in a while instead of being so defensive and aggressive.
Shame on you!
what about freedom of speech, its europa here not israel
She has chosen to represent a genocidal country, people isn’t against her for being for Israel but because she has chosen to support and represent her country and its actions against Palestinian people
@@noahvranken6137 There is freedom of speech in Israel.
The working woman should also have to feel safe working around Joost Klein.

Very strong and graceful lady, wishing her the best.
‘ strong and graceful’ 🤡
@@justanotheruser5479Yes she is, you aren't
That's not right! Fact that she's israelian does not mean she has to receive death threats. Even though israel does things that are aweful, there are a lot of israeleans that want peace and not death and destruction and oppression.
@@JustSomeDude31 She has chosen to represent a genocidal country what a lovely lady
@@silviasss2798 First of all, a government does not represent all of a countries citizens. She might or might not approve of the actions of her government. Secondly, she is still Israelite, you can also say she represents millions of israelites who are against the wrong-doings of their government.
I don't know where she stands in all of it so I can't give an opinion about the lady and her beliefs and convictions, so I will refrain of making assumptions.

This went so far that it is disgusting to watch. Shame!
I will give credit to Eden because she handled without pressure, mature and proffesional. Be like that!
Kisses from Croatia 🇭🇷❤️🇮🇱
Honestly, I agree with you (as someone who has been living in the Netherlands for a while)
I agree with you; honestly, a braying mob singling out a young woman who isn’t responsible shows incredible disrespect. It’s over now and I am glad that she has distinguished herself; not just in terms of the result but also in terms of her conduct. The same can’t be said of some of the other participants.
This inquiry unjustly places blame on the victim. Eden poses no threat; rather, she is subjected to malicious assaults and falsehoods.
So they should have known better
The moment she said she'll join the military she's no longer a victim. A victim doesn't support g&nocide
@@giannis7123 Yeah lets forgo the dream of being on the biggest stage in Europe just because of a few radicals/terrorists threats. Cool story bro

But im irish and our entrant disgraced not only herself but the country.

Ridiculous question, it is insane to blame Eden on the clearly out of control terror in Sweden.

I have no problem with the pro Palestinian agenda, when it comes from the right place, but making a 20 years old the symbol of oppression only for embracing her country (which does not signify her support in the current government, which most Israelis are ashamed of) and BULLYING HER throughout her stay, even other countries’ representatives (Greece ‘falling asleep’ and Netherlands covering his head while she’s talking, and that’s in front of the cameras) is so shameful.

Be for reallll. Russia was not allowed to parcticipate due to the war. Israel is committing a GENOCIDE for that matter but here they are. It's always been political, don't kid yourself.

It's neither of those, Israel is just doing anything it can to distract the world from the atrocities they're committing against the Palestinians.
