Wikipedia says she was born in Israel but mostly raised in Russia (where she was a Junior Eurovision contestant for Russia) and only moved back in 2022.

Integrity from Eurovision right there.

You need google translate if you don’t speak Hebrew, but she says Russia attacking Ukraine was one of the reasons why they left the country (the antisemitism in Russia being another).

Ukranian lives matter more than Palestinian lives to her I guess.

She doesn't care about Ukrainian lives either. From what I've seen Ukrainian Eurovision fans hate her because she has never spoken out against Russia's actions in Ukraine (and privated her socials whenever people called her out on it) and she performed in occupied Crimea.

Wow :D they manage to piss off everyone with that choice. Amazing.
