What a nice change to see and hear something positive and good coming out of Gaza.This guy has a great voice and looks and personality. It would be good if,instead of viewing each side as aggressor or victim,we started to think of the average individual with ambition other than hating or fighting.I wish him good luck on the show.

Mohammed Assaf is the best to represent Palestine. His love to Palestine is pure and damn real. btw Ynet, MBC is suadi network not Lebanese, thank you for the great song

Resources what would you do if you were them.

I would realize that this "thieves of land" thing is bogus, that I am [Egyptian, Syrian [name your own]], stop teaching my children to kill, and sit down and talk peace and not wait for the world to hand me everything I want on a silver platter. Simple, isn’t it? But to Assaf: kol hakavod.

I particularly like the Tallis...a nice touch. I bet Salma wet her panties and threw her bomb belt at him.

The 'tallis' is a kefiyah, worn also on the head. Different countries have specific colors so you know where the wearer is from. The Pals have adopted black and white.

Nice syrupy" peace" article which lies to its public by not mentioning he is singing an anti Israel song about freeing Jerusalem among other things YNET slanting the news to the public yet again The Israeli left wing media at its worst and most dangerous.

it's not a rare event of Palestinian solidarity. Next event, Gaza's Got Talent.

i totally agree of what you have said. Palestinians are only want their freedom and live with dignity in their lands and homes.israelies already have their own state where they can live their life freely and safe. palestenians are still waiting!. i appreciated your voice of understanding and awareness of not denying others right.

If he learned English songs, he could win anywhere! He's got a great voice, great control and great looks. That's what it takes. He'll certainly become a star in Arab countries and deserves to be based on this video of his performance.

Wasn't the real Mohammed an evil pedophile who decided to spread his religion with the sword, is this who the Muslims look after as their hero?

I used to be an idol myself. Everyone else was working. I was idle.

You "ignore" facts: "Pals" want to eradicate Israel. Arabs have begun every war with Israel. All the "Pals" have to do is recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and be willing to sit and talk instead of trying to get everything for free via UN. Your simple phrases don't fool anyone, except fools.

read the facts not the politics views. If you just look for the pure approaches, you'll reach the TRUTH, just try to use your mind, forget relegion and be honest while searching about his characteristics, by the way, use different resources so that you can evaluate what you are reading better to reach the TRUTH, and then you will know why most all of Muslim men named Muhammad.

Mohammad taught respect for all religions and all prophets from adam all the way to jesus. At the time marrying a girl that went through puberty wasnt wrong. Times change. If islam was spread by the sword it wouldnt of lasted

by the way we don't change country names. you may go to the UN and submit an application for changing the name from Israel to whatever....

well, 80% of Muslims with Mohammad name is that because we are proud of our and all mankind prophet 'Mohammad' peace upon him that he spread the peace for all mankind. for your knowledge i am sure you know that Islam now is the fastest growth and spread religion around that world specially in EU and US, and without even a world of sword. if your are clever enough you should ask why!! if you are not ?? i can answer you simply is that because its the TRUTH. good luck

Re: "[Assaf] has engendered a rare exhibition of solidarity from Palestinian factions." That's because the lyrics of his song talks of the hope of occupation of Israeli cities by Palestinians. "Go to Safad and Tiberias Send my love to Acre and Haifa." He goes on to singing about taking the capital of Israel, Jerusalem, away and giving it to the Arabs. Sunni & Shia may hate each other. Fatah & Hamas may be at each other's throats. The Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Saudis & Egyptians my oppress the Palestinian refuges in their countries. But they all come together in solidarity when it comes to killing Jews and occupying their land. It's very sad. Ironically, it seems that the only ones who join me in praying for Palestine are the USA and Israel.
