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.

Netanyahu for Human Rights

---

What we need to know about the "Arab Spring" is this:Nowhere but in Israel despite "Arab Spring" there is talks about defending secular human rights. Here is Netanyahu Addressing International Human Rights Day! May there be more countries like Israel in the Middle East who support human rights and accept antiracist and antidiscrimination laws.

Rita sjunger sånger av glädje

Rita sjunger sånger av glädje från det största hotet

Idag har jag lyssnat på Ritas nya album "Smakhot sheli","Min Glädje".

Sedan i somras har jag gått i spänd förväntan på att få höra Ritas album. Det var under Sommaren som den iranskfödda israeliska sångerskan Rita under en livesändning av Israels motsvarighet till idol tillkännagav det kommande skivsläppet som skulle vara ett helt farsiinspirerat album. Låtar från den iranska musikskatten som Rita bar med sig från sitt föräldrahem skulle dammas av och återupptäckas. Rita är mest känd för smäcktande rockballader och fantastiska scenshower i Israel.

Bäst på skivan är de tidigare uptempo- singlarna "Shane" och "Shah Dumad", men även rytmiska Kabutare Sefid och Beegharar (som DJ Offer Nissim remixat)står ut.

Mreyte Ya Mreyte /Ein Bi

är en smäcktande hebreisk ballad och cover på en libanesisk låt som förekom i den libanesiska filmen "Caramel".

Sticker ut gör även bröllops-låten "Mobarak Baad"(jag trodde först den handlade om Egyptens avsatte president Mobarak). Den blir unik på skivan eftersom den är mer akustisk.Ritas mamma står för sången tydligen och hon har en mer orientalisk klang som passar rytmiska slaginstrument.

Rita fick en gång frågan i kanalen Keshet 2 på israelisk TV om hon tror att musiken kan ta henne till Iran. Hon sa då att under den nuvarande ledaren Ahmadinejad skulle det så klart inte gå men det kan vara möjligt då den nuvarande regimen är borta! Själv hoppas jag det en dag blir möjligt!

Vad som dock saknades på albumet var remixer. Några finns redan men finns inte med på skivan. Framförallt vore det kul om Offer Nissims remix släpp

Awaited Release of Samemen tomorrow!

Etiopian langugaes, arabic, moroccan , algerian arabic, hebrew, english and different african languages mixed together by israeli artist Idan Raichel. I just love his new TRIPPEL album. available to pre-order already today in Itunes across the world. This is the best song I believe: "Samemen" performed excellently by female singer Cabra Casay.

Sheghel Arab 2 - new provoking season

The Arab-Palestinian Israeli version of Cosby has returned with season 2 of this world famous series.This show marked a milestone on Israeli television as the first program to present Arab-Palestinian characters speaking Arabic on primetime, and it generated great controversy between Arab and Israeli media.

Created by Sayed Kashua, an Israeli-born Palestinian journalist, Arab Labor(translated from the Hebrew “Avoda Aravit”, which colloquially implies “shoddy or second-rate work”) focuses on Amjad Alian, a Palestinian journalist and Israeli citizen in search of his identity. Poking fun at the cultural divide, Kashua and his characters play on religious, cultural and political differences to daringly depict the mixed society that is Israel.

When father Amjad moves into a Jewish neighborhood, he is mistaken for a terrorist and an IDF soldier.

What I really enjoy about theses series is that it is making fun of the stereotypes of both Israeli jews and arabs. No side is depicted better than the other. And it is damn fun to watch and deliberating. As propalestinian groups keep watching depressing propaganda movies that is deeply biased like "Tears of Gaza" and "the ground speaks arabic" this is really what they should watch! Because here the ground speaks both arabic and hebrew and it works very well together!

Thank you Sayed for yet a wonderful season to look forward to!
