English Lyrics:
Peace be upon you
Peace be upon you
I present you with greetings
From me to you
Peace be upon you
Peace be upon you
I present you with greetings
From me to you
Hear me
Bring the boys and the girls
Let them smell the mountain air for free
We don’t want anyone to end up with nothing
Oh no
Raise your glasses
Everyone
is Hamas [i.e. resisting the Israeli military occupation of Palestine]
Raise your voices, let’s break the glass
Break the glass
I want everyone
From all the countries
Muslims and Christians
No difference
Between me and you
Where are you?
Raise your hands
Where are you?
Leee leee leee [sound made traditionally in arabic weddings or other joyous occasions]
Where are you
Spread this word from me
Peace be upon you
Help me

Yasmine Hamdan is a miracle beyond miracles…. her music is so much more real than those plastic surgery filled popular arab divas. This lady is hot and is getting even hotter by the day. Here is her song “Coït me”…. ENJOY!
Happy Easter to Everyone!
Ma’amoul is a type of middle eastern cookie that my family makes for Easter. Im not religious but I love the holiday for the food….. and you would too.
“At the start I sang in English, but quickly I found myself asking why. I felt intuitively that there was a gap to fill and also that it gave me a freedom — singing in Arabic but in my own way.” - Yasmine Hamdan
Yasmine Hamdan is getting big!!!!

This is a cover of the famous Egyptian singer Um Kathoum’s song “Inta Omri” by the Palestinian rock band Khalas. Quite interesting to hear a metal version of this classic arabic song…. Enjoy!
Soapkills is a Lebanese music sensation! Made up of musician Zeid Hamdan and singer Yasmine Hamdan. Together they combine an electro fusion with classic arabic melodies. This is one of my favorite songs by them… ”Enta Fen”. Enjoy!
This is probably the cheesiest song I have on here…. but non the less this song is about peace in Israel and Palestine… There is also english lyrics! This is a duet with Palestinian rap artist SAZ (Sameh Zakout) and Israeli pop star Eti Castro.
This beautiful song gives me nostalgic feelings of my motherland, Palestine, in which my family and I have no citizenship nor residential rights too, simply for being the wrong religion. This song also provides me with optimism on which one day my family and I will have the rights to live in a free Palestine. Enjoy the song, I hope it is as meaningful to you as it is to me.
“Belady” (My country) by Cheb Abid
Despite the north african dialect and beat… the artist is actually Palestinian from the Negev desert in today’s southern Israel.
Le Trop Joubran- Masar
This Palestinian trio of “oud” players is made up of Samir, Adnan, and Wissam Joubran. This is one of my favorite songs by them… How I wish I can play the oud….
Hell yea!!!! I was so excited when I first saw the Israeli youth initiative on Facebook, but now that the Iranian youth responded back, I am in Pandemonium…. THE YOUTH GENERATION WANTS PEACE IN THE NATIONS!!!! https://www.facebook.com/LoveAndPeaceCampaign
