Aviv Geffen is the most amazing singer/songwriter and performer i have ever encountred. he is a political protest singer from the little state of israel. he sings against the occupation of the territories and the corrupted government.
i translated one of his songs to english:
Profile 97 / Aviv Geffen
A flower is now growing, and it is screaming
children wither in the territories
a plant is now growing and it is falling
children usually become plants.
profile 97, inside much less
the commander commanded to fire
salute in my uniform, fighting to keep sane
in the israeli death forces.
flag, we have a flag, but it cannot stand
children usually become flags
why, tell me why you're still there
he doesn't know, children usually don't ask.
