Swedish activist Greta Thunberg wore a keffiyeh wrapped around her body while taking part in the march, which is one of several Pro-Palestine events scheduled in Malmo during Eurovision Song Contest week.
Greta Thunberg has joined pro-Palestine marches in Malmo, Sweden, taking place in protest against Israel competing in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. The 21-year-old Swedish activist wore a keffiyeh - a traditional scarf that has become a symbol of support - wrapped around her shoulders at the Stop Israel demonstration, between Stortorget and Molleplatsen in the centre of the city on Thursday.
Earlier lyric changes The song has been tweaked three times, after an initial version titled October Rain was ruled too political by the EBU who believed some lyrics referred to the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel. Some still believe that some lyrics in the current song - including 'Dancin' in the storm… I'm still broken from this hurricane,' still refer to attacks which killed over 1,000 people and resulted in hundreds of hostages being taken.
