British protesters were arrested on European television after shouting “Free Palestine” and attempted to attack the stage during Israeli list performance

Two British protesters were arrested on European TV after shouting “Free Palestine” and tried to break into the stage during the Israeli list performance.

Manchester-year-old David Curry, 22, and London-based Meaghan Leon were named by the Swiss police station as behind the action in the final in Basel, Switzerland last night.

This is based on the youth demands of youth radical groups, which called on Britain to stop arming Israel and conduct climate action – and organized the protest.

They tried to get rid of security barriers – but security guards were understood to have stopped them before they arrived at the stage itself.

A spokesman for Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR said: “At the end of the Israeli list show, a man and a woman try to overcome obstacles to the stage.

They were stopped. One of the two agitators threw paint and one crew member was hit.

They added that the two were escorted from the field and “handed over to police.”

Israel’s inclusion in European television has sparked widespread controversy as it continues its offensive in Gaza.

It has killed more than 50,000 people so far, according to local health authorities.

Pro-Palestinian campaigners urged the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to exclude the country from the European TV network.

Protesters gathered on the Barfüesserplatz square in the heart of Basel to demonstrate before Saturday night’s final.

The crowd of Palestinian supporters held signs that read “Boycott of Israel’s apartheid” and “No stage for genocide” as they waved flags and released flares into the sky.

This is because Belgian broadcaster VRT boycotted Israel’s presence on European TV on Saturday and aired the country’s performances.

EBU warned Spain’s broadcaster RTVE ahead of the final, saying their commentators kept mentioning the Gaza conflict and they would receive a “punitive fine.”

Nevertheless, Spain risked the huge European TV fine and displayed a white text in Spanish and English before the black screen final, saying: “Palestine Justice”.

Many people think that Belgian VRT may have ignored the warnings likewise and showed a black screen during Ms. Raphael’s performance.

In the first semifinal, VRT showed the following message: “This is industrial action. We condemn the violation of human rights by the State of Israel.

Furthermore, the State of Israel is undermining press freedom. That’s why we interrupt the picture for a moment. #ceasefirenow #stopgenocide.

But when it comes to the finals, they listened to EBU’s warning and did not do the same.

Ms. Raphael’s performance was aired in Belgium – in a shocking event, the Belgian public voted for Israel, earning 12 points.

Meanwhile, Spain ignored the warning and showed a 16-second message that read: “Silence is not an option when human rights are threatened. Peace and justice in Palestine.”

On October 7, survivor Ms. Raphael re-promoted the controversy surrounding Israel’s participation in Eurovision after qualifying for the show’s finals earlier this week.

Since the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023, Ms. Raphael has participated in a political competition, hiding under the body for eight hours during the Hamas terrorist attack.

Her letters from Yeers and Booth in the trailer have been severely criticized for signing letters to ban Eurovision.

About 4,000 musicians, artists and music industry experts from five Nordic countries signed an open letter condemning the Middle Eastern countries for participating in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel.

Those who signed the statement, including some former European TV winners, said Israel’s participation in the competition was to “paint and divert attention” the Israeli bombing of Gaza.

It believes that Israel “should not conduct public image at the European television stage, thereby covering up and continuing its human rights violations.”

Elsewhere, broadcasters in Spain, Ireland and Slovenia called for debate on Israel’s participation.

Ms. Raphael told BBCIt was sometimes frightening and even uncomfortable before her performance, but it made me constantly remind myself why I am here and on my agenda, which allowed me to spread love as much as possible and bring pride to my country. ”

In a shocking contest, Ms. Raphael won the runner-up in a contest against Hebrew, French and English against the New Day of Piano Folk.

She was second only to Austria’s JJ, who rushed to victory.

The European TV dream of Britain collapsed after the UK received zero points from voting publics across Europe for the second consecutive year.

Remember Monday, composed of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, all 30 years old, their song “What the hell happened?”.

However, their song title became a stark reality as fans across Europe succumbed to Britain for the second consecutive year.

Monday, however, wasn’t all doom and melancholy as the Hampshire girls group performed in colorful Brigton-style costumes, avoiding the horrible “invalidity points” of professional juries.

But the 88 points the UK does get is enough to get them a disappointing 19th place in 26 countries.

In the finals, each country received two sets of scores – one from the music industry professionals from the country and the other from the European fans.
