You will have to forgive me again for posting media uploaded by anti-Israeli, pro-Palestinian sources but music is music, doors are doors, and art is art. I pray that some day Israelis and Arabs can visit each other’s homes and pass through doors of peace.
أدعو الله أن يتمكن الإسرائيليون والعرب يومًا ما من زيارة منازل بعضهم البعض وأن يعبروا أبواب السلام
