The song is special, because it is the product of a Jewish-Arab Israeli collaboration by featured artists of the Adamai group. It is called 'Mother Earth' and it is performed by Shlomo Gronich, Lubna Salameh and Michal Adler. It is submitted as a candidate for the Israeli entry in the Eurovision song contest.

The winning song that will represent Israel, is chosen by the telephone votes of Israeli television viewers. Here is a chance to make a statement for peace, to show the world that something good can come out of the Middle East, and to spread a bit of light for a change. It may not be much, but perhaps if this song is chosen and if this song can win the Eurovision contest, it can make Arabs and Jews and Christians and Muslims, Europeans and Asians and everyone else, think a bit differently about each other and about our unhappy part of the world.

So please, if you are an Israeli reading this message, tune in to Israeli TV Channel 1 on March 15 at 9 PM and call in your vote for "Mother Earth" - Ima Adama. If you are not an Israeli - tell someone.
