Over 1,000 Swedish musicians, including Robyn, Fever Ray, and First Aid Kit, have signed an open letter calling for Israel's exclusion from the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest due to its 'brutal warfare in Gaza.' The organizers claim Eurovision is nonpolitical, but the Swedish artists argue for Israel's ban. The controversy arises as an Israeli-born singer, whose brother is in the IDF, is set to participate as Luxembourg's representative in the contest.
