Below is a yourube link to a video that contains a bilibgual poem in Arabic and English. The poem is also banned by Israel:

Fayssal Chafaki

Magnificent write-up.

Fayssal,

Of course the poem is NOT banned in Israel. The country has freedom of expression and speech without a ban on any literature, no matter how insulting it may be.

But you have done a good job deseminating the lie along with the posting of the poem wherever you can.
Btw, you forgot Thailand.

How is it bilingual? It's all in Arabic to me. Can you translate? Miriam, don't say such a thing before you know what the poem says, because incitement is definitely banned, like we banned the book "the King's Torrah". Israeli courts are very reliable and only allow ban in extreme situations, and it is unreasonable that Israel would ban anything Palestinian (A lecture about the "armed freedom fight to Palestine" or something of the sort was hosted in Haifa university when I went there), but you know... Never deny what you don't know for sure is not true

To the story as itself – way to go! Whatever they are saying, even if against Israel, satire is always welcome :-) It warms my heart to read such a program is possible there.

Israeli student,

Try a bit harder and you'll find the translation.

BTW, Torat Hamelech has not been banned although there is a case to have it banned that has been taken to the High Court.

Satire is satire as those who watch Israeli TV should know. There's enough anti-Israel stuff there. The problem is when it isn't satire.

Sorry, I forgot something.

Bilingual in Fayssal's case is not the same as translation.

See the elephant is dying and die a very sad situation

With American TV shows pushing the envelope further every week with sexual and violent content, it might be hard for U.S. television audiences to understand that something as "tame" as poltiical satire would be so controversial in other broadcast environments. But the reality is that the comedy in SNL-type shows don't go over well in nations with a more orthodox media– especially when the televison outlet(s) is(are) state-run. This is a shame. Global audiences watching this story unfold should continue to cheer for the cast and crew of Watan Ala Watar. What they are doing–portraying political commentary in a light, tangible and relevant way– is SO important in the creation of a democratic environment. In the United States, viewers are lucky to have programs like the Daily Show that shake up status-quo news reporting, and allow audiences to look at politics in a different light. This Western luxury is something that companies, organizations, and individuals with global presence should encourage for the strict media of locations like Palestine. When politics can be discussed openly, whether it be in a lighthearted or serious manner, citizens can see democracy in action.
