1. trash TV came their way.
ghostq   (06.24.13)
they gave themselves an award for embracing Amerikan junk TV. wow talking about hitting rock bottom. who knows maybe they will also find "pull my finger" trick fun.
2. Priorities
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.24.13)
In Egypt, Arab youth dream of getting enough food. In Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, Arab youth are faced with a choice: to be hacked apart by Sunni jihadis or to be gassed by Assad. In Gaza, inside "world's biggest open air prison" under Israel's "cruel occupation" a well-fed, well dressed Arab youth lives a normal life. Now I know why the world is so preoccupied with condemning Israel.
3. Pure pallywood pap....
Rachel ,   Home now   (06.24.13)
Anyone care about the words to the"keffiyeh" song? Too bad. The elimination of Israel is a battle song, not an ambassador's tool.
4. yaaayyyy we became trash
westbanker ,   westbank   (06.24.13)
It should show the world that we Palestinians became as trash as the rest of the world, and therefore accept us as normal people AKA trash as others. Hurraaai
5. Celebrations elsewhere too
Leila ,   Nazareth   (06.24.13)
While I think Arab idol is isn't worth watching, other people in Nazareth who are fans put up a big screen beside Mary's Well and I heard the screams and fireworks when he won from my house, a ten minute walk away. Ynet should know better than to pretend there are only Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
6. I wonder
Mark ,   London, UK   (06.25.13)
I wonder how many votes he would have got if he were Jewish.
7. to #5 church isn't an institute for trash TV
ghostq   (06.25.13)
just because arabs r disrepectful it doesn't mean they should taint chritianity by shooting fireworks near holly site.
8. Most big celebrations
Leila ,   Nazareth   (06.25.13)
in Nazareth, take place beside Mary's Well since one of the only open public spaces in the city is found there. Almost all those celebrations involve the setting off of fireworks. There is no disrespect at issue. Why you would jump to such unfounded conclusions is beyond me.
9. win a reality tv show and get a job with the UN
zionist forever   (06.26.13)
I bet its a first for a winner of these idol contests to end up as a goodwill ambassador for a UN body. He better watch out though because Hamas consider taking part in these shows to be unislamic so one day he may find himself tied to the back of a motorbike being driven through the street for being unislamic.
10. 6
zionist forever   (06.26.13)
If he was jewish if he won any votes at all it would all be blamed on the jewish lobby and furious America supports these singing jews.
11. LOL, with "peace" ambassadors like that, who needs enemies
Larisa ,   Perth, Australia   (06.29.13)
amusing that the UN would make someone a goodwill ambassador for peace despite having written lyrics calling for the outright destruction of another country. peace my butt
