A journalist asked the finalist: ‘Have you ever thought that by being here you bring risk and danger for other participants and the public?’ Golan was told she did not have to answer the question, but the Dutch entrant Joost Klein said: ‘Why not?’

What a disgraceful question. Blaming the victim. If it's not safe it is because of terrorist, not because of talented 21 years old singer
NOT IN EUROPE
The working woman should also have to feel safe working around Joost Klein.
Advertising genocide…
🇮🇱
Eurovision is a joke!! The only reason why Israel was allowed to participate is because Eurovision's main sponsor is Moroccanoil, an israeli company!
Israel 🇮🇱 will be free ❤
"safe for everyone" unless for Palestine is that correct?
United you say its funny
Eurovision is, Gaza isn’t right
Why tf is Israel in eurovision?
Of course it is girl it is not IDF duh… FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
FREE PALESTINE
BAN ISRAEL AND RUSSIA. Israel isn’t even in Europe and Russia is no longer seen as a European country. They’re a part of Asia.
why is russia not in eurovision but israel is in it
Well she was right
A question better asked to all those rabid protestors who were outisde at the time
אני אוהבת את עדן גולן❤❤❤❤
She is so brave at this age. She showed art and politics should not be mixed and answered so gratefully true human being.
Little princess and her bodyguard. Disgusting. WHY NOT!?
Joost is arrogant
While she's singing…who's minding the shop? Oy vay!
Journalist needs to lose their job for that ridiculous question.
Eden is a QUEEN
Joost asked "Why not?" and he was harassed out of the competition by guess who?
Is this supposed to be for only European countries? If it is then (not to be rude) Israel, as an Asian country, technically shouldn't be performing at Eurovision anyways.
Interviewer question and tone is accusatory .
but it's safer for some than for others.
Eurovision is safe for everyone, meanwhile Palestinians are not even safe at their own homes
Anyway free Palestine
That's very odd how a colonial settler house-thief speaks about peace!
Great Russian lady
