The Jewish-Arab Peace Song (w/ English subtitles)
BackThis song is dedicated to the 44 ordinary people from 17 countries, and the countless people who supported them, who sailed on August 23 from Cyprus to Gaza on two, small, wooden boats, breaking the Siege of Gaza through non-violent direct action. Since then, the group has sailed on two more siege-busting voyages. See all the info at www.freegaza.org In this song, Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian singers and musicians joined together to perform the Hebrew-Arabic song "Hevenu Shalom Aleinu" (We Brought Peace Upon Us) - "Ma Ana Ajmal Min Salam" (There is Nothing More Beautiful Than Peace). Sung in both Hebrew and Arabic, this Middle-Eastern-Jewish-style inspiring, jazzy song challenges us to overcome decades of hatred and violence, and replace them with human rights, and appreciation of the common humanity of both people. To paraphrase JFK, ask not what they can do to end violence and occupation, but what you can do for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Here are some suggestions: 1) Simply send this link to your mailing lists to inspire people to act as peacemakers; 2) donate whatever you can to humanitarian initiatives, such as Break the Gaza Siege (www.freegaza.org) which is in urgent need of donations; and 3) plan a trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories to see for yourself. There are several organizations which can help you with such a trip. In any event, don't remain silent. Silence is complicity. The song, which later became the anthem of Peace Child Israel, was performed by the following singers (in order of appearance): Jewish-Israeli - Leah Shabat Shlomo Gronich Zehavah Ben Eli Luzon Palestinian - Sahmir Shukri Nivine Jaabri Elias Julianos Lubna Salame To download this video: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1354574/the_jewish_arab_jazzy_peace_song/ TRANSLITERATION (Hebrew) yesh beneynu hiburim she'horeynu lo halmu yesh beneynu diburim she'ad koh lo nishme'u. anahnu kan bishvil koolam anahnu gesher ve'soolam bishvil mi she'holem bishvil mi she'halam. ve'od be'hayeynu ve'od be'yameynu nashir be'koleynu: HEVENU SHALOM ALEINU...
