Well, we can’t – at least not all of us. But check out these guys, who definitely have some moves. From the country that brought you the Bible, Jesus, and Camels:
breakdancing.

We guess you’ve all heard about the controversy swirling around Israel’s entry into the Eurovision contest by now. It seems that they don’t like to fact that Israel’s popularly elected entry, the Teapacks, are singing about the legitimate feelings and fears of their people. G-d forbid right? Maybe we should just sing about how blue the sky is or how,… oh forget it. This is an argument we will probably never win, but the song is a definite contender in the contest.

On Israelity this week…

NewsFlash!

Up next month: On March 24th (check for local listing time): MTV News airs “The Amazing Break,” a 30-minute special highlighting college students who spend their vacation time volunteering for local or international causes.

One of the four program segments will showcase Jewish National Fund’s Alternative Spring Break in Israel: A film crew shows groups pruning forests scarred by last year’s summer war, painting bomb shelters & meeting Northern Israel residents and foresters who lived the experience.

Andrew Millard, MTV News producer: “…we immediately felt that it would be something our audience would want to see. Not only is it newsworthy but we thought it that it offered an interesting perspective on a very complicated part of the world.”

Now that’s great and all, but why can’t we get MTV to just film hot Israeli’s on the beach? Why must we always be an interesting overshadowed by conflict alternative? Why? WHHHYYYY!!!

We love how so many Israeli artists find these creative niches to explore and make popular. Earlier we wrote about the Saw Lady and now we bring you Ilana Yahav a sand animation artist.

From her website: “Using only her fingers, Ilana draws with sand on glass table. As she weaves together sand, lighting and music, Ilana creates incredible three dimensional vistas they play out in perfect time with the musical accompaniment. Indeed, it is difficult to decide if the music accompanies the work of art, or vice versa. Ilana’s fingers dance in the sand on the glass to the music, the resulting aesthetic dynamic is powerful and moving.”

Enjoy!
