MALMO, Sweden — It’s time for many people to don sequins and spangles — and for others to pick up protest banners and Palestinian flags — for Saturday’s final of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. The competition that pits nations against one another for pop music glory is reaching its conclusion in the Swedish city of Malmo, with Croatia and Switzerland among those tipped to take the trophy, and Israel at the center of a political storm. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Hours before the final, Dutch contestant Joost Klein was dramatically booted out by organizers over a backstage incident.
