SATANIC Eurovision Act from Ireland, ‘Bambie Thug,’ Cries over Israeli Singer’s Success
I just posted another article from Breitbart about how Israel was treated at this Eurovision event – especially by Ireland. I want the readers to see who this girl is who ‘Cried’ because Israel made it into the finals.
She is a devil worshipper!!
From breitbart.com
Bambie Thug, the Irish entry into the Eurovision 2024 contest, said Saturday that she cried in disappointment when she learned that the Israeli singer, Eden Golan, had qualified for the finals in Malmö, Sweden.
Bambie Thug’s song, “Doomsday Blue,” features pentagrams, Satanic symbols, and other elements of “Wiccan” practice.
Israel’s entry, “Hurricane,” is an allegory that refers vaguely to surviving the October 7 terror attack. The lyrics were toned down to qualify for the competition, which prohibits any political statements in the music or at the venue.
Golan’s song turns out to have been a surprise hit, dominating viewer votes. After qualifying for the final, she climbed to the top of oddsmaker’s predictions, and is favored to finish first or second when the final judges’ scores are done.
Ireland has been one of the most critical countries when it comes to Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists.
Bambie Thug has objected repeatedly to Golan’s presence at the competition — so much so that she canceled her dress rehearsal performance over an apparent dispute regarding Israel’s presence. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) moved Golan’s dressing room to be further away from Thug’s dressing room because of Thug’s behavior.
Other contestants and judges also found ways to display their intolerance toward Israel’s presence at the competition.
Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have marched in the streets of Malmö for days, and Golan has required a police escort — including 100 officers — to protect her amid threats and aggressive anti-Israel activists.
For her part, Golan kept the tone positive, thanking Israelis and fans throughout the world for their support:
Israelis have celebrated Golan as a symbol of persistence against antisemitism, and are hosting viewing parties to watch the competition. A first-place finish would mean that Israel would host the Eurovision finals in 2025. source

Eurovision Chaos: Ten Thousand Protest in Multicultural Malmö Against Israeli Participation, Police Convoy Escorts Jewish Singer Eden Golan to Final
From breitbart.com
Thousands of pro-Hamas protesters took to the streets of Malmö again on Saturday in opposition to Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest being held in the multicultural Swedish city.
Swedish police have estimated that between eight and 10,000 anti-Israel demonstrators gathered in the centre of Malmö to demand that Israeli Eurovision contestant Eden Golan be removed from the final.
Golan, who is representing Israel with the song “Hurricane” — originally titled “October Rain” in reference to the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel that left over 1,200 dead and saw hundreds taken hostage — has largely been confined to her hotel room during the contest over security concerns and has been under protection organised by Israel’s top security agency, Shin Bet.
The 20-year-old Jewish singer was also filmed being escorted to the final event by a convoy with approximately 100 Swedish police officers in order to safeguard her from the protesters, The Sun reports.
Israel’s ambassador to Sweden, Ziv Nevo Kulman, condemned the protests, telling Dagens Nyheter: “We have the world’s biggest music competition in Malmö and the focus in recent weeks has been on extremists because the pro-Palestinian groups demonstrating are among the most extreme of the extreme.
“They were the same people who celebrated in the streets after October 7th. And they are joined by the BDS movement and the radical left from across the continent who choose to come to Malmö. The provocations come from the other side, they are the ones who seek confrontation.”
The ambassador also criticised the Eurovision audience for booing Golan, saying: “I know that it is not forbidden to boo a bad artist. But Eden Golan hadn’t even started singing before people booed. It was political and I don’t think it belongs in Eurovision. And seriously, I don’t think you’re expressing any opinion when you boo an artist.”
In addition to facing down large-scale protests, Golan has also faced fire from her fellow contestants, even reportedly being forced to move into another room from other performers at the behest of Irish contestant Bambie Thug, who has also reportedly calledfor Golan to be disqualified from the final. The 31-year-old Irish singer, who uses “they/them” pronouns and claims to be “non-binary”, said on Friday that she “cried” when it was revealed the Jewish singer had reached the Eurovision final.
Bambie Thug, who entered the competition with her Satanic-styled song “Doomsday Blue”, said: “I cried with my team… It is a complete overshadow of everything, goes against everything that Eurovision is meant to be,” adding: “It’s a big, big community together and their contestant was never allowed to even meet us.”
Meanwhile, Marina Satti, who is representing Greece in the contest, was filmed pretending to sleep while Golan was giving a press conference.
Nevertheless, Golan has put on a brave face throughout the chaos, writing on social media on Saturday ahead of the final: “I stand on this stage with so much pride. proud of our song and the hard work we’ve put into it. proud of my country and the people in it. I feel your love and support from miles away that nothing or no one can break me down. tonight I’m sharing OUR voice and going to give the best performance I can. I love you guys.”

The protest on Saturday is just the latest large-scale anti-Israel demonstration to hit Malmö during this year’s Eurovision contest, with upwards of 10,000 taking to the streets of Malmö on Thursday, with even Swedish political activist Greta Thunberg joining their ranks.
Malmö has been at the heart of the massive demographic shifts in the Nordic nation over the past decade, with Muslims now making up 20 per cent of the city’s population.
Officials in Sweden have admitted that this radical change has come along with a rise in anti-semitism and terrorist activity, resulting in the Jewish population declining by approximately half of what it was in the 1970s. Some of the remaining Jewish population told the German newspaper Die Welt this week that they did not feel “welcome in [their] own city” and that many have opted to leave the city while the Eurovision contest was being held. source
I must tell the readers that I am getting more nervous by the day about my people. The misguided Nazi-like hatred has permeated much of the world. Each morning I wake up wondering if there was another slaughter of my people while I slept.
It’s like I’m holding my breath……
COME LORD JESUS – PLEASE COME QUICKLY!

In Defense of Truth :: By Robert Asher Mandel
From raptureready.com
I like to write about biblical issues, not political ones. I always have. But I cannot stand by silently and allow any Christian to wonder if perhaps the claims of “genocide” currently being shouted at Israel from around the world might contain some truth. So this article is an effort to shed the light of truth upon the current war with Hamas and to show that, quite the opposite of genocide, Israel is the only one showing any mercy in Gaza.
Recently, there have been studies published by statistics researchers informing us that the civilian death totals issued by Hamas authorities in Gaza cannot possibly be accurate. You can read them at these links:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-gaza-health-ministry-fakes-casualty-numbers
Another reason to doubt the verity of the information issued by Hamas is because that organization has been caught spreading lies and disinformation since the very beginning of the current conflict. Consider just these four…
1—Hamas claimed that Israel fired a missile at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in October. The truth soon came out that it was the misfire of a Hamas rocket that killed hundreds of their own citizens. Even CNN, no friend of Israel, reports it here: https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/21/middleeast/cnn-investigates-forensic-analysis-gaza-hospital-blast/index.html
2—Hamas claimed that they never hid their operatives in Gazan hospitals. The IDF took extensive video footage of their findings at the Shifa Hospital and arrested hundreds of Hamas militants. Even CNN, no friend of Israel, had to report on this. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/politics/white-house-hamas-al-shifa/index.html
3—Hamas claimed that IDF soldiers were firing on citizens of Gaza to keep them from getting to food shipments. Gazan citizens themselves are now reporting that Hamas has stolen most of the food and aid shipments from the people of Gaza. This would also be consistent with Hamas’s use of citizens as human shields. https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2024/0314/Hamas-gambled-with-our-lives-Gazans-are-now-daring-to-speak-out
4—Hamas denied ever using ambulances in Gaza for anything other than transporting wounded. Then a recording was made of a Hamas operative boasting about the routine use of ambulances for driving around Hamas militants. https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-operative-boasts-he-can-leave-with-any-ambulance-in-call-overheard-by-idf/
These four instances alone should convince reasonable people that Hamas consistently lies to advance their narrative and generate compassion from the West. But even if we put logic aside and assume that the death toll figures from Hamas are accurate, let’s compare them to the civilian death toll figures from WW2.
The allied war with Germany began in September of 1939 and ended in May of 1945. In Germany alone, the civilian death toll during those 68 months of war was 3,810,000. That total divided by 68 equals 56,029. That means that every month, 56,029 German non-combatant civilians lost their lives to the forces of America and their allies. If you then multiply that monthly total of civilian deaths by 7 (the number of months that Israel has been prosecuting their war in Gaza), you get the astounding total of 392,203deaths! https://historylearning.com/world-war-two/civilian-casualties-of-world-war/
Compare that with the figure of 25,000 civilian deaths over the same time span in Gaza! (Hamas admits that their death toll includes dead militants). This all means that civilian deaths in Gaza are nearly 16 times smaller than civilian deaths in Germany in WW2! How can we understand such an amazing discrepancy?! Especially in such crowded urban spaces as Israel has had to fight in! It can only be explained by the unprecedented procedures Israel has used to warn the Gazan civilians in an effort to minimize their casualties. This is the opposite of genocide!
Newsweek magazine (another news outlet that does not usually take Israel’s side) published an article a few months back on this same topic. The author is John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute (MWI) at West Point; he served for 25 years as an infantry soldier and two tours in Iraq. Below is an extended quote from the article found at this link: https://www.newsweek.com/israel-implemented-more-measures-prevent-civilian-casualties-any-other-nation-history-opinion-1865613
Major Spencer writes this…
“…one of the best ways to prevent civilian casualties in urban warfare is to provide warning and evacuate urban areas before the full combined air and ground attack commences. This tactic is unpopular for obvious reasons: It alerts the enemy defender and provides them the military advantage to prepare for the attack. The United States did not do this ahead of its initial invasion of Iraq in 2003, which involved major urban battles to include in Baghdad. It did not do this before its April 2004 Battle of Fallujah….”
“By contrast, Israel provided days and then weeks of warnings, as well as time for civilians to evacuate multiple cities in northern Gaza before starting the main air-ground attack of urban areas. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) employed their practice of calling and texting ahead of an air strike as well as roof-knocking, where they drop small munitions on the roof of a building, notifying everyone to evacuate the building before a strike.
No military has ever implemented any of these practices in war before.
The IDF has also air-dropped flyers to give civilians instructions on when and how to evacuate, including with safe corridors. (The U.S. implemented these tactics in its second battle of Fallujah and 2016-2017 operation against ISIS in Mosul.) Israel has dropped over 520,000 pamphlets and broadcast over radio and through social media messages to provide instruction for civilians to leave combat areas.
Israel’s use of real phone calls to civilians in combat areas (19,734), SMS texts (64,399) & pre-recorded calls (almost 6 mil.) to provide instructions on evacuations is also unprecedented.The IDF also conducted daily four-hour pauses over multiple consecutive days of the war to allow civilians to leave active combat areas. While pauses for civilian evacuations after a war or battle has started is not completely new, the frequency and predictability of these in Gaza have been historic.
Another historical first in war measures to prevent civilian causalities was Israel’s distribution of IDF military maps & urban warfare graphics to assist civilians with day-to-day evacuations & alerting them where the IDF will be operating. No military in history has ever done this.
The reality is that when it comes to avoiding civilian harm, there is no modern comparison to Israel’s war against Hamas. Israel is not fighting a battle like Fallujah, Mosul, or Raqqa; it is fighting a war involving synchronous major urban battles. No military in modern history has faced over 30,000 urban defenders in more than seven cities using human shields and hiding in hundreds of miles of underground networks, purposely built under civilian sites while holding hundreds of hostages.”
Mr. Spencer writes this in his conclusion…
“Despite the unique challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas, it has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.”
Prime Minister of Israel, Golda Meir, once famously said these words: “We can forgive [the Arabs] for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.”
In Exodus 4:22, God says this: “Israel is my first-born son.” The Jewish people have certainly strayed from their Father’s home and heart, but they still carry His DNA in their spirit. Our God (and theirs) has a heart of mercy and takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. I personally believe that Israel feels the same way. That is why we see their military acting in merciful ways as no other military force in history has ever done!
So, my appeal to the adopted Gentile sons of God is this: Do not believe the lies of the enemy about Israel. Pray for your wandering half-brothers. Ask Jesus to use the pressure and pain of their current situation to cause them to look up and “behold their God”!
Shalom,
Robert Asher Mandel
