[HANASHIR:11255] Re: songs of peace

[Judah Cohen <jcohen...>]

Shirona,

   Despairing and doubting, especially when you simply don't know the
information you're seeking, can only do harm and lead to animosity and
vicious rumor (see, for example, how Sholom has taken your lead. . .).
Perhaps it would be more beneficial to ask at the local mosque.  Arab
Americans are currently quite keen on showing the peaceful side of their
religion, and it would seem to me that you'd find what you're looking for
there.

Shalom...

Going over my reference books, looking for material on Yom Ha'atzma'ut... I
realize that we must have hundreds of songs with the word "Shalom" in them.
I mean songs in Hebrew written by Israelis, wishing, yearning for peace.  So
I was wondering - are there songs in Arabic expressing similar wishes...?  I
don't know for sure - but I doubt it.  I think this would make an
interesting "study".

Really depressed about the situation,

Shirona
