Since no rules regarding diary content is in order, from the New York Times. The headline/title speaks for itself.
By the early hours of Wednesday morning Mr. Alooshe had uploaded the remix to YouTube, and began promoting it on Twitter and Facebook, sending the link to the pages of young Arab revolutionaries. By Sunday, the original clip had more than 400,000 hits and had gone viral.
Mr. Alooshe, who at first did not identify himself on the clip as an Israeli, started receiving enthusiastic messages from all around the Arab world. Surfers soon discovered that he was a Jewish Israeli from his Facebook profile — Mr. Alooshe plays in a band called Hovevey Zion, or the Lovers of Zion — and some of the accolades turned to curses. A few also found the video distasteful.
But the reactions have largely been positive, including a personal message Mr. Alooshe said he received from someone he assumed to be a Libyan saying that if and when the Qaddafi regime falls, the liberated Libyans would dance to Zenga-Zenga.
No more needs to be said.
Have a good laugh!
UPDATE:
Interesting comment from a Norwegian site that picked this up. It may equally apply to others:
The Norwegian left-of-centre is conditioned to despise Israel from a tender age. For them, Israel is no laughing matter. Although they will laugh at Israel, they will most certainly not share a chuckle with Israel. The young hipsters of the Maghreb – or at least a good few of them – are less dogmatic.
