Just as terrorism perpetrated against Jews is downplayed or ignored by the Guardian, the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit, whose captivity is now in its 1393rd day, warrants nary a mention. For that reason, we recently added a picture of Gilad Shalit to the left hand side bar of the blog (scroll down).
Here’s another way in which awareness as to the plight of Gilad Shalit is being raised – a flash mob of 212 high schoolers from Alexander Muss High School in Israel recently descended upon the Tel Aviv port boardwalk to the sounds of Matisyahu (remixed by Infected Mushroom). Check the video out.
AMHSI dance for Gilad Shalit
AMHSI1 — March 23, 2010 — This flash mob for Gilad Shalit, involving 230 AMHSI students from all over the United States and Israeli high school students from the Mosenson School, took place 10 days before Passover, at the Port in Tel Aviv, in the hope to raise awareness for captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit's safe return home. The song "One Day" is by AMHSI alum, Matisyahu, and remixed by Israeli trance band Infected Mushroom.
