tl;dr: one of the lines of Israel's entry for the song contest was: "We're gonna wipe every single Palestinian rodent scum off the face of the planet". After much negotiation they've agreed to tone it down.

The US State Department commented: "Israel has the right to defend itself from 30,000 terrified and starving Gazan children. We applaud their spirit of compromise"

Keep the lyrics they're based.

> The original lyrics for “October Rain,” Kan’s top choice for this year — which the broadcaster took the unusual step of publishing in full last month — included lines reading “writers of the history/ stand with me”; “I’m still wet from the October rain/ October rain” and a final section in Hebrew translated to: “There is no air left to breathe/ No place, no me from day to day/ They were all good kids, every one of them.”

So controversial

What is wrong with these people that they think that song would be considered sympathetic

Tbf, one Israeli is worth one thousand Palestinians. So until 1,700,000 Palestinians are dead then the attack is not avenged.

This Laibach tune with concert visuals filmed live in Tel Aviv uses lyrics based on both Israel and Palestine anthems.

Russia is banned from participating because of its genocide of the Ukrainian people. According to UN statistics it has killed a colossal one third of the number of civilians Israel has killed.

That's because of the American Jewish lobby.
