More About Music and Politics

I have to write another piece on the Eurovision Song Contest, apart from the one I wrote Wednesday the 11th of March. Israel will be represented by a duo this year, where one singer is an Israeli Jew, the other is an Israeli Arab. They held different opinons on the recent war between Israel and the Hamas controlled Gaza, nevertheless, they are friends. The Arab singer has gotten critique from some extremist Israelis, but will perform the song anyway. I think this is a good thing, a duo that will necessarily be a symbol of fellowship and peace between the Jews and the Arabs of Israel. Their song is nice, though not outstanding.
