Two Israeli women, what could be simpler than that? One is Jewish, the other Muslim; they will sing of tolerance facing the 100 million viewers of Eurovision in Moscow on May 16, 2009. Back in February, the Figaro had already picked up on polemics flying around the announcement that the duo would be performing. It was extraordinary that the choice had been made only a day after the Israeli incursion against Gaza had ended. Even more brutal, was the fact that it was inconceivable after so much brutality that a woman from each side of the divide would consider performing together, in light of Avigdor Lieberman who made no bones about the fact that he deemed the Palestinians to be a fifth column.
