Should Israel not compete in the European Song Contest?

I’ve seen tonight on the BBC news, that there are thousands of people marching and gathering in Malmo in Sweden, demanding that the Israeli entry to the song contest should not be allowed. The young girl who is representing Israel is only twenty years old, and she has been advised by the Israelis to stay in her hotel room all the time, except when she’s performing, for her own safety.
This disturbs me. Why is it acceptable to terrorise a young woman who is there merely to sing a song in a competition?

Yep, I also watch Sky News too, and Alcazeera, although I realise where their bias is. I sometimes watch GB News too (cue, everyone jeer) but it all means that I’m looking at different outlets many days, if I’m not otherwise engaged (like today when I’ve only popped out to the shops this afternoon.) I don’t read The Telegraph though (because I’m mean and don’t want to pay a subscription.)

I forgot to say that I also watch ITV News, and occasionally Channel 4 news.
