Plug pulled on Palestinian youth orchestra after performing for holocaust survivors - Black - 03-30-2009 I'm sure there's some missing info here, but this story give a bit of odd insight into life on the west bank. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-03-29-palestinian-orchestra_N.htm?csp=15 Re: Plug pulled on Palestinian youth orchestra after performing for holocaust survivors - Doc - 03-30-2009 Black wrote: There's more, but it's probably not what you're expecting. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gq5qmd7uHpnpUFPwn6tqLvbZHMbwD9758EKG1 The choir burst into songs for peace, bringing surprised smiles from the audience.

That was actually touched on in the article I linked, pretty far down though. Re: Plug pulled on Palestinian youth orchestra after performing for holocaust survivors - Doc - 03-30-2009 Oh yeah. I missed that. Third par from the bottom. Sorry. |
