Have you seen the Shalva band performance at Eurovision yet? If not, what are you waiting for!
It was beautiful and magical – a lovely reminder that for all the bad in the world, there is still much good. And they clearly impressed whoever operates the official Eurovision Twitter account.
Meet Shalva. They’re one the most beloved musical acts in Israel. And it’s not because they inspire us to think differently about challenges and acceptance.
We love them for one simple reason – they make incredible music!#DareToDream #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/nBJ0CqEX2w

You’d expect this to elicit only positive responses. Unless you are as familiar as I am with those who hate Israel and the Jewish people. Then the following responses from Brighton BDS won’t shock or surprise you.
When you hate the Jewish people this much, you won’t allow any potentially touching moments to interfere with your unhinged obsession. You’ll just continue trying to do what you do, which is to demonize and destroy.
