This is really lovely…the problem, as always, is that the people who join Israeli-Palestinian youth choirs (or bilingual schools or Seeds of Peace camp or Women Wage Peace dialogue etc etc) are not the ones who need it. If you’re participating, you’ve done 99% of the work.

The boycott movements worst nightmare … A youth choir made up of Israelis and Palestinians has advanced through the audition round of the “America’s Got Talent” TV show after a rendition of Phillip Phillips’ “Home” that visibly moved all four judges. Describing themselves to the judges after their performance, one of the Palestinian members of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus says they’re “a group of Palestinians and Israelis. We believe through music and through working together and talking to each other, we are taking a step forward into building that amazing future where there is justice and there is freedom and there is equality and there is inclusion.” Go get em!!!
