How to help them realise this idea, it is still not familiar, but one thing is for sure: they want it.
If they can do it, why cannot we? The Palestinians thought of a way to come closer to Europe. In his own time, certain writer and philosopher (for exact information, contact the editor`s office) wrote how you become what you fight against and if we are to judge according to news coming from Palestine via Yahoo, he was right!
Palestinians want to participate in Eurosong. However, the attempt to participate in Eurosong 2008 is not only the question of musical prestige, or coming closer to (for some strange reason to some, still exciting) Europe. The man in charge of the idea`s realisation, Bassem Abu Sumaya, should clarify everything:
-Our participation in Eurosong 2008 is a sign that we would be seen as a state, even though we are not actually a state-.
Somewhat of a contradictory sentence, but it does not matter. Mr. Sumaya`s desire to participate in Eurosong has the support of the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and this makes it important. The only thing left for the Palestinians is to lobby their entry into the privileged circle of Eurosong competitors and to select their song, of course.
In order to reach their greatest competitors, the Israelis, they will need much more than a good song and a happy result of circumstances concerning their application. The Israelis have won three times at Eurosong until today, and we all surely remember their last winner, transsexual Dana International.
Finally, the million dollar question (you do not need to contact the editor`s office for this): Where does Europe begin, where does it end and which area can be considered as the Near East?
