Noa's performance in Jerusalem (Israel)


נאום להפגנה בכיכר ספרא בירושלים של ישראל חופשית נגד הדרת נשים 7-12-11
כל ביטוי של הדרת נשים, מעבר להיותו פרשנות גברית קיצונית, מקוממת ואפילו חסרת אינטלגנציה לדברים האמורים בכתבי הקודש, פוגע בכולנו כמגדר, ובכל אחת מאיתנו כפרט. אך הדרת נשים איננה רק מטרה הרסנית כשלעצמה! היא חלק ממרוץ נגד הזמן ליציקת תוכן רדיקלי במושג "יהודית" מתוך הצמד "יהודית ודמוקרטית" מושג שבמשך השנים נעשה מקובל על דעת מרבית הציבור היהודי, ללא עירעור או מחשבה שנייה. מושג שלפתע הפך לאחד ממעוזי סרבנות השלום מבית מדרשו של נתניהו.
האופוריה המשיחית שהתעוררה בעקבות מלחמת ששת הימים עמדה במבחן יום הכיפורים והתערערה לראשונה רק בתקופת הסכמי אוסלו. אז, באותה תקופה הרת גורל הוסר ה"איום" כביכול על ידי שלושה כדורי אקדח נוראיים.
בעת פינוי עזה וגם לאחר נאום בר אילן נתערערה האופוריה בשנית אך הפעם זרק ראש הממשלה חבל הצלה: על ההנהגה הפלשתינית מוטלת החובה להכיר במדינת ישראל כמדינה יהודית! מאותו רגע התחיל המרוץ נגד השעון. למנהיגי הימין ולרבנים הקיצוניים נותר רק להפוך את המדינה ליהודית כזו, שלעולם לא תתאפשר נורמליזציה עם אזרחי ישראל הערבים וכמובן עם שכנינו. כך יונצח הכיבוש, והגאולה תחיש פעמיה - אחרי מלחמת גוג ומגוג כמובן...
בהקשר זה נתפסת הדרת נשים כמוצב קל לכיבוש הניצב בדרכה של ההסתערות על אופייה של המדינה.
את יוזמות החקיקה המחרידות ואת ההשתלחות במערכת המשפט אנחנו רואות יום יום ולכאורה, יאמרו אחדים מאיתנו, אין קשר בין הדברים אבל אני אומרת יש ויש! ואני קוראת לכולנו לשיר ולא לחדול עד שנשיר את המסך המעוור את עיני הציבור ונחשוף את התוכנית ההזויה והמסוכנת הנרקמת מול עינינו...
היכן הבושה? להשתמש ביהדות, לטנפה כך, להניף אותה כקרדום פוליטי בשביל לחפור בו בדרך להשפלת ציבור שלם ויצירת טליבן מקומי?
אנחנו נלחמים על הערכים הבסיסיים החשובים ביותר של מדינתנו שהולכת לאיבוד מול עיננו. אני תוהה היכן יושבי האוהלים ומפגיני הקוטג'? או שמא אין הם סבורים שנשמתה ואפייה של המדינה שווים יציאה מהבית? מבחינתי שתיקה איננה אופציה. אני אינני חרדית אך חרדה בהחלט, לגורלה של מדינתי הכל כך אהובה, ולמורשת היהדות שכל חלקה טובה בה נרמסת ומתכערת בידי קיצוניים.

Noa's performance in Jerusalem (Israel)
Art is said to connect people, but that hasn't been proven often enough in the Middle East. Apart from a few flickers here and there, a steady continuity of artistic collaborations between Jews and Arabs has not been preserved.
The 2011 Speaking Arts Conference, which was held in Jerusalem last week, attempted to bring together dozens of Jewish and Palestinian artists involved in performing arts (music, theater and movement). The conference featured open performances, workshops and mater classes held in a variety of auditoriums across the cityThe music workshops were led by musician and composer Sameer Makhoul, and the opening concert at the Masie House Theater Center was presented by Achinoam Nini and Gili Dor, with Arab dancer Mona Mashi'l.
Nini and Dor also hosted a master class, in which they discussed their creation process throughout the years.
"It doesn't happen enough," says Nini, also known by her professional name Noa. "Not just in Israel but in the world too. It's very hard to hold such events despite the fact that we are artists and that such connections should hover over everything.
"But you know how it is – many times politics interferes in people's considerations, both each person's politics and the political opinions of the macro and micro groups, and then things stop."
Because people are afraid as well.
"Or concerned about their career, their status within their society. It can also reach personal safety and very radical places, especially in our region.
"I have experienced many projects in the world which could have been wonderful but were stopped following pressures and threats, fears on the other side that the umbilical cord they suck on all year will be cut off.
"Personally, I received threats years ago, when I started talking about politics and saying everything clearly and not politically correct. So my life was threatened and my house was guarded."
And you moved on.
"Right. That's not something that would make me stop. I performed in the Eurovision with (Israeli Arab singer) Mira Awad. Times have changed too. Once one would go to jail for meeting with Palestinians, and today the prime minister meets with Palestinian. Naturally, there are serious differences of opinion, but things can already be said differently.

"Let’s think positive, this conference is happening. We assembled a plan from a wide range of material, and yesterday we saw Mona for the first time. She's an extraordinary story. A 20-year-old medical student, a dancer and an excellent singer. It's a lot of fun."
Several days ago, Nini returned from India with Mira Awad, after the duo received a surprising invitation to perform in an economic conference in Goa.
"Words cannot describe just how amazing it was. People from all over the world, artists. It was very artistic. They found us there through the Internet and asked us to come. We had four concerts in Delhi, together and separately."
So you've opened a new channel.
"Absolutely, and I plan to continue. This year we've been both in India and in China. I told Mira that the next stop may be Antarctica. In the meantime, I have a whole month of Jerusalem."
Israeli Jewish singer Achinoam Nini (Noa)recently returned to Israel’s capital from performing in India (Goa and Dehli) with Israeli Arab singing partner Mira Awad. Last week Noa demonstrated Israel’s constant efforts to promote co-existence when she co-hosted the 2011 Speaking Arts Conference in Jerusalem, introducing dozens of Jewish and Palestinian Arab musicians, actors and dancers. 4 September 2011

Now, after eight original albums and countless performances in Israel and around the world, I feel happy, confident, and ready to take on this new challenge. Gil Dor and I have chosen some of the beautiful and moving songs that have influenced us over the course of our own lives."
