Plato said that when music changes, politics will change. The Eurovision Song Contest’s final in Malmö, Sweden, Saturday night exposed Europe’s widening social schism and may predict next month’s European Union elections.
When Israel’s entrant, Eden Golan, came to Malmö, a leftist-Islamist rabble massed outside her hotel, baying for Israel’s expulsion from Eurovision and the world. The mob included Greta Thunberg, once the face of the climate apocalypse, now a boycotter of the Jewish state. Israel is a global leader in desalination and water management.
Israel is in Eurovision because it wants to be there. It falls within the European Broadcasting Area, which covers western Russia, North Africa, Turkey and much of the Middle East. Georgia and Azerbaijan also compete in Eurovision. Lebanon nearly competed in 2005 but canceled because Israel was there.
As in the tech and military sectors, Israel punches above its weight. While fighting for its existence, it has won Eurovision four times. This year’s entry, “October Rain” by the 20-year-old Ms. Golan, was a lament for the victims of Hamas’s terrorist rampage. The European Broadcasting Union forced Israel to tone down the “political” lyrics; the title became “Hurricane.”
