During a visit to Norway, Felicia is asked if she has been threatened.

"Absolutely. Of course. There have been death threats, that you will die, that someone will take your family," says Felicia.

She says most of the threats have come in the form of direct messages on social media.

The day after her victory in Melodifestivalen with "My System", Felicia said she was going to the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna with mixed feelings.

"I don't think it's a good idea for Israel to participate. I've been thinking about how I should do it and whether I should go at all, but I've made up my mind. I'm going, and then I'll make sure they don't win," she said.
