To Those Who Speak Hebrew: Israel's first full protest album

I am sharing the link here, in hope that those who do speak Hebrew or have Hebrew-speaking friends or contacts will enjoy this. Please send it to them as a gift in support of those voices here that promote peace and justice, human rights and democracy.

Hebrew or not, the album owes a lot to the English language protest song tradition. Besides the title song and its Irish roots, it features three other translations from English. My adaptation of Sinead O’Connor’s “Black Boys on Mopeds” refers to Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces, such as the late Abir Aramin. Ewan Maccol’s “The Moving on Song,” originally concerned with the fate of migrant workers and tinkers in the British Isles, is dedicated to migrants workers and African refugees, who are regularly mistreated by our authorities. “In The Neighborhood” by Tom Waits opens the album. Strangely, when translated, it gives a precise image of a Jaffa neighborhood where I lived for three years. Lovers of French chansons will doubtlessly recognize Jacques Brel’s “Mon enfance”, sung by a campfire on an artists’ pilgriamage to Jerusalem last summer >>>read on here my dear>>>
