I’m a Jew living in Israel

This is a love song to my Arab neighbors

Specifically a love song to the aspect of my Arab neighbors that loves love to the aspect of my Arab neighbors that loves peaceful co-existence, and yearns deeply for good times, good food, good friends, happy relationships, and safety.

We learn in the Torah that ALL Humans are created in the image of Allah/creator…

So that includes all of us

This is a love song for you

I am a Jew Living in Israel

Things have been getting hot in this corner of the world

I wrote this Love song down for my holy Arab neighbors

who have a vision of peaceful of co-existence,

who are standing up in a peace filled way

for Freedom and Justice, equality, education,

safety, nutrition,

radical expression

Women’s rights

and the right to share your heart and mind and soul

in a song like this

Dig (Yaanni)

We’ve heard of your revolutions

and we pray,

that part of this evolution

will be a complete healing,

between our peoples of our nations

I bet God… Hashem…. Allah…

would like that very much

Don’tchya think

The politicians are taking too long

That’s why I went and wrote down this song

…It needs to happen here anyway

So here we are, what do you say?

I say,

This whole wide world changes on a dime

it happens all the time, it happens all the time

We can hear your cries for freedom,

for equality and truth

for self determination and a working voting booth

Peaceful people of

Algeeeria, Tuniiiiisia, Egypt, and Libya

Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Iran

Jordan, Yemen, Baharain,

Everyone get up get on the train

I’m callin’ to the Peace makers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip

raise your voice, to Coexist

Courage neighbors

you do not walk alone

we will walk with you

and sing your spirit home

The whole wide world is watching,

waiting for the day

they can say

War and hatred are history

now lets get on with the play

may peace prevail on earth

and in the hearts and the hands of humans….

This is a Love song to the Arab nations,

from a Jewish clan

Salaam Alechum,

Peace be IN you,

this is an open hand

You say Allah-Hu we say Hashem Eḥad

Seems quite clear that we’re singing to the same God

Reconciliation

healing of the nations

Sons and daughters of creation

May we be blessed to quickly see the day,

where we finally get out of our own way

We’ve heard of your revolutions

and we pray

that part of this evolution

will be the complete and holistic healing of our peoples

the healing of our nations

The healing of…..

Sons and daughters of Abraham,

chillin’ together hand in hand

Sons and daughters of Abraham,

yo no no Don’t you think it’s the Master’s plan

Sons and daughters of Abraham

chillin’ together hand in hand

Sons and daughters of Abraham

yo no no Don’t you think it’s the Master’s plan,

Maher Ahuv ki va moed, vchanenue Kiyemie olam
