A straight’s prayer for young Israelis shot for being gay

 

Mourn these young people

Liz Trobishi, 17, and Nir Katz, 26,

of blessed memory,

shot late Saturday by a gunman,

in a Tel Aviv club for gay teens,
for having chosen to practice

their own humanity.

Force me to see that

what I am so certain that I hate,

the clear, familiar targets of my fury,

are already inside me.

כאן היתה שנאה, אהבה לא הורגת

קשה מאוד להאמין שיכולה להיות כזאת רשעות, כזאת שטנה, לגדוע חיים של בני נוער שעדיין לא טעמו את טעם החיים

It is very hard to believe that can be such an evil, such a hate, to chop life of youth that did not yet taste the taste of life

Report: Iran authorities kill 7 lawyers

Seven lawyers in Tabriz and Mashhad who had been representing young Iranians detained in post-presidential election protests have been killed by the Iranian authorities in recent days… Their deaths have deterred other lawyers from taking detainees’ cases… the bodies of five lawyers were returned to their families earlier this week… The five had been representing some of the hundreds of Iranians detained in the northwestern city during the post-election protests… They were so badly beaten that their families could barely recognize their faces… were made an example of by the regime -… they were framed by the regime’s local authorities… The regime’s aim was to discourage other lawyers and activists from taking their places…

“Ani Nitzachti” – TRIBUTE to Nir Katz & Liz Turbeshi

YouTube – Dana International – Nitzachti (New Version 

14 Aug 2006 

Ani Nitzachti (I Won) – New Version

Birth name	Yaron Cohen
Born	February 2, 1972 (1972-02-02) (age 37) Israel
Genre(s)	Dance, Pop, World
Occupation(s)	Singer-songwriter
Instrument(s)	Vocals

Sharon Cohen (Hebrew: דנה אינטרנשיונל‎), professionally known as Dana International (born Yaron Cohen, 2 February, 1972) is an Israeli pop singer of a Yemenite Jewish, and Romanian Jewish origin.

She is most famous for having won the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest with her song “Diva.” She is arguably one of the most famous transsexual celebrities in the world. Her career began in 1992, and since then she has released eight albums and three additional compilation albums, positioning herself as one of Israel’s most successful musical acts ever.

She was born Yaron Cohen to Yemenite parents as the youngest of three children after sister Limor and brother Nimrod. Cohen was named after an uncle who had been killed during a terrorist attack. Though born biologically male, Cohen identified as a female from a very young age. Cohen wanted to become a singer ever since she was eight-years-old and saw legendary Israeli singer Ofra Haza performing her song “Chai” in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest. Although the family was quite poor, Cohen’s mother worked to pay for Cohen’s music lessons, and she has explained that her childhood was rather happy.

Cohen came out as transsexual at the age of 13.

The first tragedy in Cohen’s life was the death of her best friend Daniel, who died in an automobile accident. Cohen asserts that Daniel had prophesied that she would someday have a successful singing career, and claims that Daniel’s prediction is what pushed her to become the singer she wanted to be.

 

Lyrics 

 

The good and the bad look quite the same,

After all the things I’ve been gone through.

 

From all the loves and all the memories,

From the way I started to the way I ended up.

 

I do not know what other people think

Of the way which I walked in,

It doesn’t matter what they say.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

 

The justice and the crime look quite the same,

After all the things I’ve done.

 

The same stars in night and day are above the walls I’ve built.

I do not know what other people think

On the way which I walked in, it doesn’t matter what they say.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

 

I was the most malicious person in the world.

I did the perfect journey.

 

I want it all.

I touched it all.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

I won.

הטוב והרע נראים לגמרי

אחרי כל הדברים שעברתי

 

מכל האהבות וכל הזיכרונות

ניצחתי נכשלתי, נפלתי וקמתי

הצדק והפשע נראים לגמרי

אחרי כל הדברים שעשיתי

 

כוכבים אותם ובלילה  ביום

מהחומות שבניתי

אחרים אני לא יודעת מה חושבים

שבה הלכתי הדרך על

לא חשוב לי מה אומרים
