  • let there be peace in the middle east! ONE Nation, ONE world, we are ALL descendants of G-D!

  • Your voice is beautiful and unique. You could have been the bridge between the Israeli and the Palestinian people so that both peoples could live in peace together.

  • @naushad50 Well, first the Palestine must apologise that they have a constitution that says ALL JEWS - including Ofra Haze - should be thrown into the sea; in other words, be extinct from planet Earth; and you think Ofra Haza would sing about it, are you stupid!!!

  • iijz: yes, first ringworm children were ashkenazi during WW2.not entire israel is to blame, but big parts of israel made her hands very dirty and bloody in this case.

    i just say state-terror..

  • very nice song !!!!!

    REST IN PEACE - OFRA

  • superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Flori from Romania...

  • Here's the thing: She's beautiful and has the MOST beautiful voice. This is all that matters.

    Sometimes art is political. However, I don't think Ofra Haza wanted her music to be politically diffusing. As far as I've understood from her, she wanted her music to bring people together.

    In memory of the lovely Ofra Haza, let's put politics aside and just enjoy the lovely sound, okay?

  • @brianab31 Totally correct; even that she had her very strong opinion on politics as well, she did not say much; - so was too intelligent to mix with different kind of paper-heads...she had an all to big and sacred soul to get involved with political crap!!

  • lovely voice

  • when the middle east unites in a pan-semitic league, this will be the anthem

  • The way she sings the high pitch tunes - and all notes for that matter - easily outdo Maria Carey at her best singing!!!!!! (who also is known for the total control over her voice with a large register....)

    If she could be compared to any singer, that must be Barbra Streisand, esp in the middle register-tones....

    She is also a Jew, right?

    ed

  • @onlinelondonkaraoke yes she must be a jew. and you are an idiot!

  • @seanelymichael

    MIND YOUR WORDS!!!!!!!!

  • I wish everyone could just stop with the pointless discussions in the comment section and just enjoy the music instead. Ofra's voice will always live on :)

  • I found this and began to cry. the loss of Ofra Haza was more than just another talented pop star she stood for something something we should all stand for peace in the world God Bless her she was a gifted lady

  • People love each other in a very natural way. It's the politicians who divide us. I love Ofra for all her vocal talents, but I love her more for her love of her belief of her understanding that humans will always have an-in born love for fellow humans - God bless her forever. Brothers and sisters I love you. Long live the memory of Ofra Haza!

  • Does anyone know witch concert was it?

  • Sigh. A great loss.

  • Yerushalaym, Yerushalem, but also Al-Quds (Arabic), Jerusalem (for the Christians) and its Armenian name too! ;-)

  • Ashkenazi = Pink face, Yellow hair = European assimilated = Non-native

  • Какая ж она красавица

  • Love her and song. Long live Ofra!!

  • She wasn't just singer. She wasn't even just graetes singer - she was much more.

    I belive she wanted peace for all people. 

  • @ROH5700 i believe so to i wish i could have met her

  • @ROH5700 i believe so to i wish i could have met her she was one of those rare things because she was both a Jew and an Arab

  • @Rasverix82 It's not that rare you know... Around half of Israels jewish population have sephardic/mizrahi origin. Most of them migrated from arab countries just like her. Of those people Yemenite jews, are a relatively large portion. They don't classify themselves as arabs though, since arab countries for them were just a temporary place of exile, but from there they brought a lot of traditions with them to Israel.

  • I'm from Saudi Arabia and I love Ofra Haza and I truly believe in the Jews right to live in the region in their own state. Jews represent an original element of the region and nobody can deny that. We are all the decedents of Shem. Land of Shem includes Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and of course Israel. Palestinians will someday have their own home too if they come to an agreement among themselves first and if they stop asking us for money as they always do. Peace to all.

  • You are so obviously Jewish pretending to be a Saudi period! lol

  • @KhatNation No, I'm not. What do you know about our public opinion in Saudi Arabia so you've come up with such a conclusion? Should I follow the loud-voiced minority to fit your stereotype? I'm Saudi and I support Israel and the Jewish right to live in the region because it's their homeland as much as it's ours.

  • @mondher1980: Dear Mondher,

    then all support of war-machinery must stop too.If it doesn`t, this just can`t work out.

  • @mondher1980 Bless you. Wish there was more of you out there

  • I'm from Saudi Arabia and I love Ofra Haza and I truly believe in the Jews right to live in the region in their own state.

  • Really she was nice sang,,we like her yemenu songs

  • I am going to have to get Desert Wind; I lost my copy years ago.

  • It is a shame that some people have decided to come here & start bitching at each other. Ironic. Ofra Haza was a loving person. The only thing she hated was hate itself. We'd all be better people if we took a page out of HER book.

  • Watch TVShows like Ofra Haza - Middle East at W W W . TV-Vide . NET

  • If she was عفراء هزاع like you assume, then her english name would be something like Afraa Hazzaa.

    Ofra Haza = عوفرة حازة

  • well she was born in Israel, so obviously she doesn't speak Arabic well, her parents however are Yemeni Arabs....it doesn't matter whether her name is , her ethnicity is Arab regardless of her religion

  • This Arab pr-ck's denial to the Jews of their own identity, is quite typical of the Arab intent to culturally cleanse Jews from the Mideast.

    They even teach their children that Maimonides was Muslim.

    Arabs are a plague on the earth.

  • typical Jewish self-victmization and propaganda.....no body is trying to culturaly cleanse anyone, Jews were liviling in Peace with Muslims till Zionisim started........get ur facts right

  • You're right jews could and did live in peace in Arab countries as long as they accepted status as second class citizens. Of course there was the occasional slaughter of jews just to keep them in their place. Ofra's parents and hundreds of thousands of others like them refused to accept that! type of peace!

  • Arabs are a plague? lool ok ok

    this shows you the sick mentality of the zionist, they want to eradicated over 300 million Arabs, so they can have their little stolen Israel with a few million of gods chosen ppl in it

  • u don't need to look far, her features are completely Yemeni Arab.....

    Yemeni Jews, and Iraqi Jews used to consider themselves Arabs of the Jewish faith, before Zionism started

  • no no my friend her name was actuelly 3afra hazza3 but like the other yemenis who travelled to the "holy land" has her name changed and also her lastname like

    golan = alkhawlani

    beshari = albushari

    and so on

  • okay, perhaps you are right.

    but still, she was a jew, and she believed in Israel and Zionism.

  • I dont care what she was and what she could be, I care only about our yemenite tradtional songs and without these songs no body in yemen would know this ofra

  • Not exactly, Tommy. She was born in Israel, so was named in Hebrew - Batsheva Ofra Haza.

    Her Yemeni parents may have Hebraicised an Arabic name - but then Jews often took names in the local language even at the origin of the diaspora, rendering their original Hebrew into Persian or Spanish or Arabic.

    Here on YouTube (?v=U0fGQvXOOdY) Ofra says, "My parents were in exile in Yemen - a place they didn't belong."

  • الله يرحمك يا عوقرة حازة !!!!!!

  • Rest in peace, Ofra....

  • Ofra Haza era una judía de lo más guapa,y sabía seleccionar la música que hacía,toda buena como de costumbre y con una buenísima voz.Lástima que,o una neumonía,o el SIDA,o sepa Dios qué,acabaran con alguien como ella,que tenía casi toda una vida por delante y todo un camino por recorrer.

  • dear, this is one of the best message I ve seen this week, I appreciate your idea and the fact that you like most of people want peace. Peace must become reality and not only nice words in songs.

    Yes israel suffered for long time for having neighbour countries that are not very inclined to peace and love. Each country would have the same impression like Israel if someone else menace it...

  • Israel is like a thief burgler, who goes into someone elses house, and then when he is attacked by the owners he screams self-defence and bullshit....

    there is a reason why a man can shoot a trespasser to his property in the US

  • Comment removed

  • well iowoof, we all pray for good things in life, not only for peace. For love, for health, for a good job...otherwise life itself wouldn't have any real sense. Even animals fight for good purposes. The world and history of humanity show this. Israel? Im not a jew and Im not muslim, but I know history and for sure reading about modern history Israel has only defend itself. . It was attacked several times. and histirical writers say he wanted make peace . We hope we can achieve it. Peace, paix

  • I agree with you, however I do not like to take a side, I am a muslim however I still feel for the Jewish people, I always tell people that Jerusalem should belong to the Jews and that Palestinians should learn to accept and live peacefully with them, I don't know whats the solution that can satisfy both people, innocent children are dying and cities are being destroyed, I repeat I do not want to take a sides, I'm with peace for all mankind, I just don't want more innocent people to die.

  • Islam is shit, allah is non-existent, and all religions are stupid

    and Jerusalem is an Arab city u zionist fuck

    nuff with all this hippy tree-hugging bullshit........no peace, without JUSTICE

  • peace is a misleading word, it is irrelevent to the context of the conflict....

    the right word is justice , justice and justice

    an unjust peace is meaningless

  • Comment removed

  • ur all deluded by this hippy tree-hugging shit...peace and what not

    who the fuck wants peace without justice, without freedom, without dignity, without respect..........

  • Comment removed

  • More Ofra, Charm me more,

    Let your voice go high to destroy more walls and wake those sleepy eyes to see the facts in the middle east..

    Call those far people to the doors of heaven and teach them how to love each other,

    Live for millions of years with your songs and let every politician die with his lies about how hard peace is...

    Guide the lost ones in the deserts of our middle east to the oasis of safety and to eternal prosperity.

  • Comment removed

  • WHAT nosense must I see here on the comments. I think that israeli want really peace...and they really try to make peace with neighobours. but...it s hard.

  • Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.

    Not that I am doubting Israel's motives, but I don't think they are going to achieve peace with what they are doing.

    Pray from all your heart that someday no one will kill anyone, and both children Abraham (Jews and Arabs) will live in peace.

  • I agree with AhavatHaShalom and JL and Diva. Natasha come here to call Israel "a war crime state". Woof then uses the typical Arab cop-out about Arabs being Semites, and asshole HazaFan backs them up by arguing not with the Semites but with the Israeli(s).

    Natasha, Woof, and HazaFan and anti-Semitic pricks who should drop dead - and leave alone Ofra's threads and all Jewish and Israeli threads.

  • LOL, are you really a person? I doubt that, you sound like a bot or a recording machine programmed to repeat the same words over and over. Keep calling me anti-semitic and shit, it only shows what a hypocrite you are.

  • Ofra was so beautiful and sang like no one else! I am so sorry she is no long with us to make her lovely voice heard. Yemeni Jews are very special, they are like looking back into the time of Solomon. They suffered at the hands of Arabs horribly, but most are now safely in Israel. God Bless them and their lovely voices!

  • God bless Ofra's soul. :)

  • But didn't the nation of Israel perform cruel experiments of Yemeni Jews.Arabs did no such thing. I guess oriental Jews were seen, and still seen today, as less valuable than Ashkenazi Jews - one step above Ethiopian but low still.

  • @KhatNation I don't know what you mean with cruel experiments, but arabs were the ones who attacked the jews and imposed anti jewsih laws in Yemen. The Israeli government arranged an airlift to Israel to save them. You can google "operation magic carpet"(Kanfei nesharim) Also interesting is that you talk about Israel and oriental jews seperately, since they are israelis as well. Ashkenazi jews are a minority in the state of Israel. Most jews there are non european or mixtures of the two.

  • @iiyz: Youtube: "The Ringworm Children 1 of 5"

  • @luxcretia2 The first victims of this "ringworm treament" were in fact ASHKENAZI JEWS. This treatment has also been done in Syria SO YES ARABS HAVE DONE IT TOO! Hundreds of thousands of people all around the world have been subjects of this and in Israel's case it was funded by American authorities & UNICEF! However the State of Israel is the one paying compensations to these people.There's no reason to blame entire Israel for the stuff that some sick team of doctors did.

  • "Hazafan's has once again confirmed that instead of respecting Jews, he likes to lay down with putrid Jew-hating bigots like iwoof and natasha."

    I see you're getting senstive and defensive here. Where are you coming with all this Jew-hating bullshit? So for having a neutral point of view we're considered as Jew-Haters?

    I can do nothing but feel sorry for you.

  • I so agree with Hazafan88, AhavatHaShalom, you have serious problems here.

    First of all how do you assume your bullshit? I hate Jews? What the fuck do you know about me to start assuming that? Just because I disagree'd with calling Arabs Anti-Semitic? And then again waren't you and your friends telling Hazafan not to determine the use's nationality from the account? How the fuck are you certain that I'm Saudi? No offense, but aside all the racism youre also not very bright.

  • Seriously, JLMusicLover, you don't know the shit of what you're talking about, you're stupid as much as the fact that you're discussing politics in a song thread, especially when the song is about love. Arabs? Anti-Semitic? Since when are Arabs Anti-Semitic? This is the first time I hear such bullshit. Yes, the Muslims are Anti-Jewish but that is only because the Jews took their lands, and that is not even an issue here. Grow fucking up.

  • I was only speaking from their point, I don't support any anti-Jew movement nor any anti-Islamic movement.

    And I don't come from Saudia Arabia, I just put it there because I don't think where I come from is important, and I will keep watching these videos and threads because I love Ofra Haza. Have a nice day.

  • Wow. Over fifteen posts in a week from Hazafan, all to repeat endlessly, "I am always right, even when appeasing anti-Semites."

    Quite the pathological narcissist, aren't you, Hazafan?

  • Comment removed

  • I disagree. It is a scandal and an outrage for Arabs and anti-Semites to vent their hatreds on the threads of a gentle peacenik like Ofra.

    And I'm not even Jewish or Israeli - just a human being repulsed by anti-Semitic behaviour.

  • Again, I disagree strongly. I have not seen Israelis or pro-Israelis here begin such discussion. Rather, such discussion is begun by Arabs and anti-Semites coming to infest Israeli threads. To fail to respond to such anti-Semitic bigotry, is to appease it. Some of us have the moral courage to refuse to ever appease anti-Semitism.

  • You speak as if Jews are the only Semitic race, Arabs are semitic too.

  • LadySoLovely, sorry but it is you who is somehow looking for "trouble" because somehow you're stating that I am here to cause trouble when I only came to listen to the song and I just did one small comment proving that Jews are not the only Semite race.

    Disagreeing with me not only proves that you're the one asking for trouble, but also the fact that you're quite racist.

  • ofra hazaa is an Arab dumbass, عفراء هزاع

    regardless of her religion, she is an Arab from Yemen

    and btw arabs are more semitic than jwes

  • its not عفراء هزاع, her orignal name in arabic is عوفرة حازة and its a hebrew name.

  • bulshit, its عفراء هزاع

    where did u get this bullshit information

    God i'm tired of u dumb propagandists thinking u can outsmart me...

  • her name doesn't matter, she is Yemeni and Arab

    end of story

  • if i change my name to a hebrew name and convert to Judaisim, that doesn't change the fact that i'm Arab

    simple logic...sorry if ur too dumb to understand this, i feel sorry for u, get a lobotomy or something

  • people don't usually convert to judaism, they are born of jewish parents.

    learn your facts my friend.

    she is a jew, she didn't even know how to speak arabic well.

  • ok, i wanna learn facts....all of Yemen converted to Judaisim around 500-600AD when Dhu Nawas the king converted himself and prosecuted Chrsitians in the famous Al Ukhdud Incident

  • When Islam entered Yemen most converted to Islam and some stayed as Jews...thats why there is no Christians in Yemen....

  • the thing about being born of Jewish parents applies to Ashkenazi Jews in Europe...and even with that there was many conversions and intermixing...Judaisim was a preaching religion untill the 13 Century, when it stopped

  • i'm from yemen can't spech english and hebreew just arabic i'm from sana'a

    i love ofra haza and barakh cohen

  • Typical Arab motility - you SHOUT and then you tell everyone wo dares to answer that "they" are the ones disturbing the quietness and peace..hmmm (and by claiming that you ONLY saying 'facts") yep..they shoot at civilians and when Israel "dares" to defend itself they cry out loud ... how dare u destroy the peace..

  • I promise you Ofra that we will meet, that the parallel lines of the middle east will join, I can never repay you for all you taught me by your music except to do the only thing you would have wanted anybody to do, to believe in peace and never let go it and to fight for it, Promise you Ofra, I would never let go.

  • hey Natashanaa accept reality. It's not yours anymore. get over yourself. you're living with an ambition that will never come true. Who cares if god gave it to the Israelis or not, it's controlled by them and no matter what you do or how many terroristic attacks you cause, they'll never surrender.

  • An army does cause suffering, however your people bring it upon themselves by attacking Israel. They're forced to be tough and sometimes they go too far, however we're all human and imperfect. Now I agree that Arabs and Israel should live together in Palestine, however bloodshed is not going to allow that which is why I believe diplomacy is the only rational solution.

  • Yeah because that's the freedom of choice and it's a beautiful part of life and obviously you're not going to change your opinion so this conversation is over.

  • your people cant survive by themself. they get money and help from the israeli goverment! 2 weeks without israel supplying your people with their needs and they all will be gone. and what do they do with that money? make bombs. and ofra was all about peace so take ur comments some place else. it makes me sick to read ur hating comments in this beautiful loving artists song.

  • First, your people are not fighting for freedom; they're fighting to eliminate Israel.

    Second, for whom do you take yourself coming to an Ofra thread, attacking her country and people, and then telling others to shut up?

    You are the reason third parties like myself support Israel to the hilt.

    Meanwhile, go away and leave Jewish and Israeli threads alone.

  • You are not only an anti-Semitic bigot, you're a ypocrite as well, introducing your hate to the thread and then telling others to shut up.

    YOU are the reason so many in the civilised world support Israel unconditionally.

  • Now we see why most of the planet doesn't give a damn about the Arabs and their pathetic, sick minds.

    Go away and leave Ofra alone. You've just convinced me - a third party - to support Israel to the hilt. You Arabs and anti-Semites are a plague on humanity and not worth the food to keep you alive.

  • Read History and you will find that Arabs got Palistain back from the Crusades even after 200 years. So dont' build your hopes so high.

  • It took you 200 years to get it back with primitive technology, And even if you came close to retaking it remember that they're backed by the United States so anything you're doing is futile.

  • May be the USA can be to the Arab's side in the future.. Remember Oil is $ 130 p.B. So really, they want to drive and won't care about a place that only has orange and olives .. lol

  • What an awesome performance. I miss the fact that we will never see her live again! What a wonderful shining star she was!

  • Yeah like Ofra Haza is responsible for all turmoil and horror over there.  Be happy, she's dead. No more angelic, beautiful, stunning and breathtaking music from her lips. Too bad for the REST of us! I love you Ofra, see you again when the stars fall from the sky....Charlotte

  • If by "natural resources" you refer to water, you're twice wrong. First, the aquifers underlie both Israel and West Bank. Second, if you assert the water Palestine's, then you've contradicted the frequent Palestinian claim that the Palestinians got the worse portion of the Partition.

  • i get chills when i hear "Yerushalayim..." after "Where can we meet?"

  • Such amazing song!!

    Really "Wen al'salaam????????"

  • slowly slowly but surely? ;)
