There must be another way

Noa and Mira will be performing at the Eurovision contest…

The song: There must be another way…

Noa is Israeli…
Mira is Israeli…

But …

Noa is Jewish…
Mira is Arab…

And they are singing together one song in 3 languages: English, Hebrew and Arabic …

At a time when Avigdor Lieberman is the strong man in Israel…
At a time when Arabs are the weakest link…

What is the message that Noa and Mira want to convey?

What is the other way…they want us to believe in?

What I liked the most is that they didn’t use the word peace in the song…

What I am interested in knowing is how do Arabs like Mira feel like living in Israel and being Israeli?

Mira was singing beautifully in Hebrew with Noa; the same way Noa was singing passionately in Arabic with Mira…

Arabs like Mira and like Sayed Kashua…I would definitely want to know more about…

Some people will be happy to see Noa and Mira perform together, others will be angry…

But both will be performing to show that some people live peace without peace…
