Professional activist Greta Thunberg joined thousands of anti-Israel protesters in Malmo, Sweden, on Thursday adding her voice to their anger at Israel being allowed to compete in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
The Stop Israel protesters waved green, white, black and red Palestinian flags as they packed the historic Stortorget square near Malmo’s 16th-century town hall before marching through the city for a rally in a park several miles from the Eurovision venue, Sky News reports.
Police estimated that between 10,000 and 12,000 people took part. Among those in the crowd was 21-year-old Greta Thunberg who was draped in a keffiyeh (a symbol of solidarity with Palestine).
