Former Israeli Eurovision contestant Eden Golan said: “I had eight bodyguards around me, helicopters… Before Eurovision, when there were death threats saying they’d blow me up and make me a target. My parents said: ‘Eden, we don’t know if it’s worth your life.’ I thought, What if I don’t come back? I pictured myself on stage, singing and being shot.” It’s unthinkable that just a year later, Hamas survivor Yuval Raphael is facing the same hate. The only “crime” they committed? Singing under the Israeli flag. For some, that alone is punishable by death.
