PROTEST SONG DURING THE LEBANON WAR, 1982 The following song was originally written in Norwegian by Jackie Feinberg. In April, 2002, she translated it into English. We think it is a fine rendition, as she presented it to our group at our annual Lag B'Omer bonfire. Jackie claims it is much more beautiful in Norwegian, but we are, after all, the ENGLISH SPEAKERS of Ashdod. With thanks to Jackie for kindly letting us present it to you on our website, we invite you to read and enjoy. Melody: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav We gave our hand to our neighbors In sign of peace - shalom, We got no peace from our neighbors, With sword they were to come. We still believed in negotiations And not in evil hate; They want elimination Of our Jewish state. Refrain: We made the desert grow and bloom, We gave our refugees a room, We have a wish to our neighbors: Come, say shalom. (X2) Then shall we find a place - a garden, Where you shall dwell in peace, It shall not be a place to harden Your heart to fight the peace. Hitting civilian population By means of cruel terror There's no justification For such a kind of war. Refrain: Why can the world not understand That our fight is to defend Our children against terror, To save our land. We hate the war that makes our son Into a killer - so many gone! To save life - let us start living In peace - shalom - shalom. Send your response: to the site editor Go to a previous article. Go back to the new article.
