Channels of Rage

I really enjoyed this video, though it was sometimes hard to understand and follow. The video really helped to illustrate the diversity of Israel.

It also really illustrated how music can be a bridge to peace or a tool to divide. It's all in how you interpret it and make it.

The video also reminded me of something Dr. Hasan-Rokem said. She said that may of the younger generation seemed right wing. Both Tamar and Sublime were interpreted as being right wing when neither of them really thought they were. They were both friends who wanted violence to end and to perform their music. To me, this illustrates a generation gap.
