Courage of the Israeli singer Eden Golan at the heart of Eurovision's Gaza storm: 'The boos weren't pleasant, but I didn't let them get to me'
After braving protests ahead of tonight's Eurovision Song Contest - and booing during rehearsals - Israeli contestant Eden Golan says: 'I'm not scared. In fact, I've been very happy.'
Amid rumours that terrorists are planning to bomb the Malmo Arena where the final will be staged, Golan was asked by a Polish radio station whether she thought she was causing a security risk for other participants by attending the event. The streets of Malmo are dotted with vile posters of Golan that depict her with devil horns and encircled by haunting images of dead Palestinian babies, under the words: 'Boycott Eurovision' and 'Israhell!' Many reckon that the controversy surrounding Golan means she has little chance of winning but, while Baby Lasagna, from Croatia, remains the favourite, Israel has jumped to second place, gaining 17 percentage points in the past 24 hours.
