Palestinian pop singer Bashar Murad is hoping to represent Iceland at the Eurovision Song Contest in May and bring “a Palestinian voice to the main stage”.
[...] Murad is competing in the national final with a song co-written by Einar Stefansson of the Icelandic band Hatari, known for raising a banner showing Palestinian flags during the 2019 Eurovision Contest.
[...] In Iceland’s domestic qualification, singers of any nationality can participate if they sing their song in the first semifinal in Icelandic.
Murad, who was born in and lives in occupied East Jerusalem, said it was difficult to learn the song in Icelandic, but he found some similarities to Arabic.
His entry, Wild West, tells the story of challenging boundaries and chasing dreams against all odds.
“I wanted to illustrate how many obstacles as Palestinians we have to go through in order to be heard … we’re excluded from every mainstream platform,” he said.
“Everyone has theories about my participation. And everyone is politicising my existence when I’m really just a human who had a dream and applied for this competition fair and square.”
When asked if Murad wants Israel to participate in the
competition, he said, “Of course, I don’t want my occupier to be there.”
“But my main focus right now is to be able to bring, for the first time in history, a Palestinian voice to the main stage.”
Iceland’s domestic ESC qualification, Söngvakeppnin, will be decided today (2 Mar 2024).

Olive Branch
Words aren't enough, what else can I say?
My tears have dried out, and my heart is broken
I'm far away, but I'm praying for you
And I'm sending peace, on an olive branch
I'm far away, but I'm praying for you
And I'm sending peace, on an olive branch
In the land of peace, peace is dead
And the world is sleeping on a hurt child

Hey tumblr, do you want to help children in Gaza and the West Bank, but don't have money to give to charities?
Same here.
But here's how you can help without spending a cent more than whatever you pay for your internet connection (and maybe streaming subscription).
Dutch band Kane wrote a song called "War ends today" after seeing the horrible images coming from Gaza we're all seeing at the moment, and decided to team up with charity Save the Children to raise money to help them.
And all you have to do to "donate" is stream the song! Every play counts!
Here it is on youtube (make sure to click through to youtube so it counts!)
It's also on Spotify and Apple Music, and if you share it via insta (kaneofficial.nl) or tiktok (or add the audio to a post), you automatically also donate to the Save the Children!
All proceeds go to emergency aid in the occupied Palestinian territories.
(and if you've never heard of Kane, check out the rest of their music while you're at it, they're a really good band)
Reblog to spread the word!
