Friday Playlist: Israeli Music - The Whole F*ckin' Thing

For the moment, I'm not touching commentary on the Middle East with a ten-foot poll...which means that my resistance on it will wear out with an all-out assault of commentary next week.

For the moment, here's a sampling of the strange melange that is Israeli music. Israelis talk about politics out of compulsion. They're tired of it, and they're sick of the fact that nobody knows anything about their country except their politics. They want people to appreciate their culture, and nobody except them does yet:
