Iranian music hits Israel big!

Totally fantastic feeling...The once unlikely combination of Israeli culture and Iranian melting together not many exspected I guess. Nevertheless it works and it works well.

Rita, israeli singer with origin also in pre-islamistic Iran has sold gold with her persian album "My Joys". A very limited numbers of shows have taken place and you may see parts of the live show here. The demand from abroad especially from Iran and Iranians in exile for Ritas music has increased sine the new album was released. As a result Rita has now updated her website so that people outside Israel may download her new album aswell. Rita is truely one of many bridges between Israel and those considered hostile to the Jewish Democratic State of Israel. And obviously the hostility Irans Ahmadinejad feels for Israel is apparently not met with the same feelings back from the multicultural melting pot that is the israeli people.

Arab Comedy is back to make you laugh

Sheghel Arab first episode third season

Amjad is an arab man trying his best to deliver a message of peace and coexistence between Arabs and Jews in Israel fighting prejudices on both the jewish side aswell as from the arab side of the society...and it creates some funny moments of laugh...

In this opening episode of the third season of the successful comedy Amjad gets a great idea how to deliver peace between arabs and jews...he will join Big Brother...pretending to be a jew...LINK above in grey

Arab Labor is a sitcom television series, produced in Israel. The series which premiered on Keshet Channel 2 in Israel in 2007 and on Link TV in the Fall of 2008, was created by Sayed Kashua and it was the most popular comedy drama show in Israel 2011! It is even said miss Hillary Clinton is a fan of the series!

The series (whose title in colloquial Hebrew carries the implication of “shoddy or second-rate work,”) focused on the family and work situations, of Amjad, a Palestinian journalist and Israeli citizen. Much of the comedy is derived from the paradox of Amjad's love-hate relationship with his Arab identity and his simultaneous wish to integrate comfortably into Israeli society.

Farhoud, the horrible massacre in Iraq

Little is known about the Farhoud in Europe. But what took place there has happened so many times in the story of the middle east. But it surprised the indigenous people of Iraq who had lived there thousands of years before the arab population conquered and established itself in Iraq

This movie tells the story of the horrible Farhoud, the great massacre in 1941, seven years before Israel was even established and it continued for decades slowly slowly until the country was emptied of jewish presence...

the horrible thing is so few iraqies know today about what happened back then in the summer of 1941.

About the untold stories of refugees

About the untold stories of refugees from muslim lands....

When I was in primary school all children were handed a printed booklet about the holocaust in Europe so that we would not forget the history of Europe and how Europe allowed so many jews to be cruely murdered.The booklets name was "Om detta må ni berätta" (eng."about this you have to tell"). Now StandWithUs, an Israeli Association has put together a similar booklet but about the UNTOLD history of refugees from Dar al Islam...and it didn't start with Israel. It started way before in Medina! And we have to tell this story too!

Miss Earth 2011 for Israel is Arab

Miss Huda Naccache, an arab university student of archeology & geography in Haifa is Israels representative in the Miss Earth 2011 competition.The winner however was Miss Ecuador,who was crowned in December .

the Raoul Wallenberg of Iran

This is a story we don't hear very often. An Iranian man, Abdol-Hossein Sardari, saved probably about 2000 Jews from the holocaust.Sardari was a member of the royal Qajar dynasty in Iran and a devoted diplomat. In 1941 he issued falsh passports to Iranian Jews living in France.

He even made up a clever plan to fool the Nazis, making them believe that the Iranian Jews were part of an Aryan sect, "Djuguten".

"Sardari never sought recognition for his work during his lifetime, insisting he had only been doing his duty. He died a lonely death in a bedsit in Croydon, south London, in 1981, after losing his ambassador's pension and Tehran properties in the Iranian revolution.

He was posthumously recognised for his humanitarian work in 2004 at a ceremony at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Los Angeles."

Celebrated X-mas more than 2000 years?

Hey somebody has forgotten how to count from when Christians celebrate Christmas.

"2000 years"as the PM of the PA states, is hardly how long time Christians have celebrated Christmas if they did not start to celebrate the birth of Yoshua/Jesus while he was still alive. I want you to speak the truth both about the origin of "Palestinians" and the truth about the history of Christmas.
