I’m back to recovering my faith in humanity and in Israel, too. See this great video of Israeli soldiers partying Gangnam style with Palestinians:
This is the great power of art. Or what young people see as art. Here is what happened:
The soldiers entered the club while on patrol on Monday, after hearing the song Gangnam Style by Psy coming from the building.
So they heard the music and simply couldn’t resist joining the fun. These soldiers are just kids who should be dancing and partying together instead of waging a fratricidal war that serves somebody else’s interests.
Of course, the soldiers’ behavior was not appreciated by the army:
The army has suspended the soldiers from duty until the end of the investigation, the television station said, quoting the IDF as saying that it views the incident with utmost gravity.
The army is terrified that the soldiers will not be able to shoot at the people with whom they have managed to share a human experience instead of seeing them as vicious enemies.
Here is a comment from the linked article that makes a lot of sense:
it proves one thing that underneath the fake identities we are assigned from birth , like religion, nationalism, ethinicities, and politics, everyone enjoys a good party and proximity to people makes them build trust.
Yes. Let’s forget all this collective identities crap and just have ourselves a grand old time.
