The pop-band My Favorite Enemy performed at the Consulate General Jerusalem on Thursday night. Their songs are in Arabic, Hebrew, and English. Most recently, My Favorite Enemy was in Washington, DC, where they performed three concerts at the National Prayer Breakfast in February.
Seven Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian, American and Norwegian musicians, members of the group “My Favorite Enemy,” will be performing at the Upper West Side synagogue on Friday, Feb. 15, in the group’s first synagogue appearance. Last month, it performed at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.
All the members of My Favorite Enemy — men and women mostly in their 30s — are successful songwriters and recording artists in their home countries. Their music, featuring the oud and traditional percussive instruments and guitars, blends Middle East rhythms with contemporary pop and rock music.
The group began working together in 2009. Since then, the artists have met regularly in Amman, Ramallah, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Oslo and have written and released their first recording, “My Favorite Enemy.” Their lyrics are in Hebrew, Arabic and English.
Recently, the group performed at the European Union Parliament, the Israeli and Norwegian ambassadors’ residences in Jordan, Copenhagen City Hall (at the Six Days of Peace Festival), and in Tel Aviv and Oslo.
In a telephone interview just before a West Coast performance earlier this week, Michael Ochs, a founding member of the band, explains that when the group first met in the Middle East, the members set guidelines: “Let’s not talk borders or politics or history,” Ochs recalls saying. “Let’s get to know each other and build relationships and focus on the music. Amazing friendships were born.”
“When we do talk about the issues, it’s a whole different thing — you’re talking to someone you trust and care about,” he says.

As I have said before I don't write these articles to grandstand or for any other reasons of grandiosity. I have been given a gift a passion would be the best way to describe which has been instilled in me, by the God which lords over Israel.... regardless of whether you believe in him or not. It has been brought to my attention that God believes whats good for the goose is good for the gander. We have allowed Islamic Nations to set up camp in the form of Palestine and persecute Israel. God has allowed Kin Jung Un to set up camp protected by China and God has also put it in their heart to decimate America which they fully intend to do. Now China is not supid they are not required to believe our left wing media. They know full well who the annointed one is and what he fully intends to do to America. This man which the bible describes as the beast is now taking on the look of Lois the Fairykahn. China knows that when the enemy is elected as the ruler over a nation it will not be long before the demise of that nation. Our president is not a hardwired American, he is wired to destroy America only after he has eradicated Israel. He now is something similar to a black panther very carefull backing away from attacking a tigers (China) sibling. This has been a diversion that has slowed tremendously his Israel agenda. He will now start treating NK with kid gloves as he has Kerry the Ketchup man wrachet up the peace rhetoric concerning Israel and its opponents. Kerry will have peaceful solutions for all his plans but the end game of all of them will be the destruction of Israel. The annointed one must destroy Israel before Kim attacks the U.S. The loss of Japan and South Korea are of no concern to him as most of our prisons are full of blacks trading cigarettes for wifes when they could be producing chevrolets and as far as he is concerned its time for Japan and South Korea to be eliminated.
Now the problem with delay concerning actions against NK is that it will allow them to perfect the EMP attack against America. This is of no concern to the annointed one because he needs that delay to stage the very carefully strategized attack, in the name of peace, against Israel leading to its demise. If America has to be sacrificed for this cause, so be it! He knows full well that Israels covenant trumps Islams and that as long as Israel exists they are a threat to Islams rule. And actual EMP attack against the U.S. would be a benefit to him because he must also destroy America...its in his hard drive.... but it would complicate his eradication of Israel if it was to occur before he has accomplished that task. Now China and Russia know all of this thats why they are feverously cyber attacking our infrastructure so they can take control of America after what has been described in revelation 18 has ocurred to America. In the nut shell we have Insane McCain with a hardon for Russia because they knocked him out of the air in Viet Nam with a Sam missle. All the blood in McCains Brain are now in another organ, and the man is dangerous. His plan is to use Islam as a tool to take the Russians down even if it means sacrificing Israel in the process. Wake up!!! "Insane McCain" its not Russia threatening to blow us up...its Islam...can't you get that through your thick skull.
