Podcast appearances and mentions of Netta Barzilai

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —The Valley of the Shadow of Deif— Can you do a cost-benefit analysis of assassinating a man personally responsible for thousands of Israeli deaths? —Unboxing Gaza?— What's it like for Israelis to watch videos of Palestinian resilience? —“Dos” and “Don't-So-Much-Dos”— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Why did a short video about the “Dos” and “Don't-So-Much-Dos” of workplace relations between secular and ultra-Orthodox colleagues tick off so many of us here in Israel? Plus, the profound humanity of the people fighting to release the hostages, and music from Netta Barzilai's first album, which is like a warm hug from an old friend.

Summer 2024 is here...and amidst the backdrop of war, hostages, and global antisemitism, Israelis are still prepared to celebrate the season in the only way they know how: By celebrating LIFE with MUSIC. The sounds of summer 2024 in Israel are surprisingly similar to those of any other year - with upbeat tunes to accompany you to the beach, the pool, or anywhere you go to enjoy the season! This week, you'll hear from Netta Barzilai, Noa Kirel, Anna Zak, Sarit Hadad, Narkis, and many more. Plus - Josh is back in New Jersey for a few weeks, and that means he's broadcasting from his 'happy place'...the studios of 88.7 WRSU! Doesn't the show sound better from there?

It's the return of our Chagigat Shirei Yeladim - a celebration of Israeli music for kids! Mairov and Josh have brought their five children (ages 6-19) into the studio this week, and told them to select their favorite Israeli songs and play your requests. This time, though, when we say 'music for kids', we actually mean music for OUR kids. Most of them have outgrown the traditional nursery rhymes, opting instead for Omer Adam, Static and Ben-El, Netta Barzilai, etc. They did a pretty good job running the broadcast, but our six-year-old is the one who steals the show. Literally. He refused to stop talking. (Original air date: August 25, 2019) Full playlist at https://www.myisraelimusic.com/1009

Bon dia i bona setmana i bon dilluns. És 13 de maig. Una quarantena de voluntaris han participat de l'acció de neteja del riu Migjorn al parc del delta de l'Ebre aquest diumenge. L'acció, que se celebra per sisè cop a Catalunya i s'emmarca dins de la campanya ‘Let's Clean Up Europe', s'ha fet a peu i amb canoes i barques per netejar, per primera vegada, aquest paratge des de dins del riu. Segons el primer recompte, s'han recollit uns 500 quilograms de residus abocats il·legalment, la majoria d'origen plàstic. El tècnic del parc del delta de l'Ebre, Xavi Abril, ha lamentat que hagin hagut de retirat tantes deixalles en un sol tram. “És una bogeria, un reflex de la societat, hem de continuar lluitant“, ha defensat. Setmana en que es durà a terme el Festival d'Eurovisió. Enguany el representant d'España en aquest certamen europeu torna a ser català. Miki Nuñez amb La Venda. Serà la 64ena edició del festival, que se celebrarà al Pavelló 2 del Centre de Convencions de Tel Aviv a Israel, el 14, 16 i 18 de maig de 2019, gràcies a la victoria de Netta Barzilai i la cançó «Toy» al certamen de 2018. És per això que aquesta setmana, cada dia, els ficarem cançons que Espanya ha portat en aquest festival. Comencem amb Modedades: Eres tu.

On 18th May, millions of people around the world will tune in to the 64th annual Eurovision Song Contest. Last year, Israel’s Netta Barzilai won the competition with the song ‘Toy’, scoring a comfortable 93 point margin over runner-up Cyprus. As a result, Eurovision 2019 broadcasts from Tel Aviv, and in doing so, wades deep into political controversy. Netta’s victory in 2018 was seen by the Israeli government as something of a diplomatic triumph; reinforcing the narrative of Israel’s LGBT and Queer-friendly credentials. But the Palestinian reality of continued occupation and apartheid has not been elided, and accusations of ‘pinkwashing’ and ‘artwashing’ - along with calls to boycott Eurovision - have gained considerable traction in the last few months. Discussing this unlikely flashpoint in the history of the Palestinian struggle and the BDS campaign, we are joined in the studio by Hilary Aked, a London-based writer, researcher and activist, who is currently writing a book about the Israel lobby in the UK; Salma Karmi-Ayyoub, a criminal barrister, and consultant for Palestinian human rights organisation Al Haq; and Alia Malak, a British-Palestinian from the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).

Avshalom Ariel is a composer, producer, guitarist and all-around creative force. Most importantly he's a dear friend of mine of many years. Most recently he's been known as the producer of Netta Barzilai, the 2018 Eurovision Contest Winner. He's truly and magnificently weird, and if you try to understand what genre he fits into, you'll at best end up wasting your time completely, and at worst may end up in a strait jacket. We talked about his hatred of meditation, his discovery that he's been doing it all along, show business, creativity, #metoo, and much much more. To learn more about Avshalom and to enjoy his many great creations, go to https://avshalomariel.com.

History in the making Yesterday, history was made. With the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem comes a new era for Israelis, one that has them celebrating just how far their country has come. Though the move itself may be mostly symbolic, it's a gesture that's been felt all over the Jewish state. Death toll in Gaza clashes rises to 58 Amidst the celebration of the U.S. Embassy move comes the gruesome finale to the Hamas-sponsored ‘march of return' protest. Yesterday as Americans and Israelis feted the opening of the Embassy, some forty thousand Palestinians amassed on the Gaza border. Accusations fly amidst Gaza unrest For Israel, the blame for the bloodshed seen along the Gaza border can be laid squarely on the shoulders of Hamas.

Netta Barzilai ganhou o Eurovision 2018 com a canção "Toy", trazendo a quarta taça israelense da competição. Liat e Yair Mau conversaram sobre os aspectos políticos, sociais, educacionais e musicais desta incrível vitória, que por um dia conseguiu por de lado a polarização e unir o povo de Israel.

Pre-competition favourite Netta Barzilai won the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest for Israel on Saturday with her song Toy.Barzilai beat out competition from 42 other countries' performers to claim the music extravaganza's annual crown at the Grand Final in Lisbon, Portugal.There was a strong field of contestants at this year's event, and the Israeli entry topped close competition from Cyprus, Austria, Sweden and Germany.Barzilai racked up 529 points, compared with 436 for runner-up Cyprus and 342 for third-place Austria.The contest largely shed its traditional hallmarks of glitz and glitter in favour of a more restrained and tasteful tone in Lisbon, which was hosting the event because it won last year with Salvador Sobral's sober and subdued ballad Amar pelos Dois.Sobral last week criticized Toy as "horrible music." But Barzilai was unrepentant with her popular techno dance beat about women's empowerment.Her win — Israel's fourth and first since 1998 — means her country hosts next year's Eurovision Song Contest, which is watched by some 200 million people."Next time in Jerusalem!" Barzilai shouted to the audience as she picked up her award. "I'm happy people chose something different. It's refreshing," she said.The international contest began as a competition between European countries, but its huge popularity has led to the inclusion of Israel and Australia among the performers.Barzilai, known more usually as Netta, is a sassy woman with a witty on-stage personality. Before the Grand Final, her song had already racked up more than 20 million views on Eurovision's YouTube channel.In Toy, Netta makes funny noises, including a clucking sound like a chicken and barely decipherable words, and uses a looping machine and synthesizer.The lyrics say, "I'm not your toy, You stupid boy, I'll take you down."Despite hosting the event, Portugal came last, with 39 points.The event was not without its controversy.Shockwaves were felt around the world when a protester ran onto the stage and snatched away the microphone of the United Kingdom's contestant SuRie.The man got hold of the microphone but was quickly tackled by security and taken away while SuRie stood by.The British singer kept her composure and picked up her song where she left off, earning her praise from many viewers, including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.The biggest shock came from the public votes, when Australia received the lowest score with just nine points.
