@jk7kyriazis Israel was competing in Eurovision, performing in Germany for the 1st time since the end of WWII. The yellow was to commemorate the resurrection of the Jewish spirit after the deaths of over 6 million Jews [out of 10million] at the hands of the german nazis and their muslim allies during the war of hell. The Jews were forced to wear the YELLOW star as they were killed in the most heinous ways possible. Watch "World At War" if you don't believe me.
no creo que haya sido a proposito que una judia utilizara a sus compañeros en color amarillo (el usado para los judios en la WWII) cantando sigo viva en Alemania., ella es sin duda la mejor cantante judia-yemenita de toda la historia... I think is a mere coincidence signing She's still alive along with yellow dressed dancers in Germany.... She really had guts!
)israel is in the size of sixth of the state of NY (22,072 square km
you want us to give 25%(5,860 square km) of our historical home to people who were brought here by the turks and british from all the giant muslim world to be workers or to fight in their wars and if you dont know that then please go and read some , because the simple thruth is that the 4 million arabs living in the land of Israel are the true occupiers that immigrated/brought here from what is now 22 gigantic muslim countries

@dabadee I'm sorry if I offended. Was not my intention. Thanks for the tip, it was incredibly one-sided but helped me to understand the problem more. Being from Finland, I know a lot about living next to a deadly, dangerous neighbour ( not Sweden). We tried both ways with the situation. The way we liked less was the way that worked. Long live Israel, and all who love peace. I still love this song.
@SPQSpartacus I have friend in Finland and he has a rifle from his father in his office still looking to east which means Russia. He told me the story and you are right. But I think there are some differences between the dangerous neighbours. Russia maybe would like to invade you but arab countries would like to kill and wipe out everybody in Israel and they are stating that clearly. I think this is a great difference and so you are luckier :)
Oh, this makes me cry. I was nine and I loved this song. I used to be very much pro Israel. Now I can't. For the sake of your own souls: go down Moses, let Palestine go. Long live Israel, long live Palestine.
i hate it when Israeli music videos become a scene for pro/anti Israeli propaganda, but now that you brought it up, it seems you are not well informed.
Israel is not a colonialist occupier like Turkey, UK and France were. there is nothing Israel would like more than to have an independent Palestinian state if only it was possible.
and its not possible for very simple reasons. For a simple explenation look for a youtube video titled "Prager University: The Middle East Problem"
why everything has to be politised every f****ing time!! i don't care if the yellow color symbolises something or what chai or hi means in hebrew. yeah the germans killed so many jews back then but what about the israelis all these years with the palestinians?????????? god damn it i didn't like this song back then and i still don't like it ate asixtir pou dame
I prefer this faster live version! Ofra lives in our hearts and I support all the jews who don´t want to became muderers as the germans were! It´s so sad to realize the Holocaust was not the last nor the worst genocide in the 20th century. Shame on you, humanity:(
While yellow is pretty to some and not others, it is a color that jews have been made to wear many times over the centuries by those who hated them and their religion. Wearing it for this performance was like taking the color and owning it and giving it a new life with a song about survival and loving humanity.
Oh Yeah, The Designer was Dorin Frankfurt. She chose the yellow on her own free will. Years later on an interview she said "I thought, Oh well, yellow. Why not give the Germans a little reminder of the past?" that babe rocks.
Yellow was chosen because during the 3rd Reich in Germany Jews were forced to wear a yellow badge in the form of a Star of David on with the word "Jew" written on them.
Wearing yellow proudly, while singing about the Jewish people being alive, on German soil, cheesy and over patriotic as it may be, was seen as very symbolic and touching for many Jews all over the world.
@dabadee Well, I was thinking that way but wanted to be sure, of course I know the symbolic jew-star (david's star), I have to know, I am german. I'd like to know if Israel had the intention to use the song as a provocation, I almost can't imagine, I've read, du er svensk, hvordan gor det?
a provocation certainly not. A message, yes. It is always a very important issue for Israelis to underline their country exists..... This is why the presence of Israel at the ESC in itself is considered so important by many Israelis.
@OrVirushalayim I know the Israeli's interest in demonstrate that their country really is one but apart from some nations or organizations around Israel everybody knows. Although, it is viewable that Israel presents itself very clear and very confident. But the explanation of singing "alive" in yellow dresses in Germany...I can't imagine that these symbols were chosen with intention
As much as I love this song (I even think it should have won rather than the overrated ballad from Luxembourg, that did win the contest), I too have often wondered, if Israel intended to provoke the Germany (that year's host country) with this entry.
I can't believe this didn't win, one of the best Israeli songs to enter the contest and Ofra Haza was faultless and amazing in her performance, but that is Eurovision, hardly ever does the best song of the night win. Still this should have beaten the Luxembourg entry by a mile.
its not the performance on the night that decided it before the public got to see the contest the performers (this is gonna sound corny but i'll say it anyway) performed their songs to the juries about 2 nights beforehand so in effect the contest had already been won by Luxembourg its just that the public didn't know yet
The guy in the middle is about a second behind everyone else lol. One of the best ever entries though, and knocks spots off the awful overblown winner from this year
For Israel to send a singer to sing 'I'm still alive.. life'
on a german stage in-front of a televised audience made Israel a winner before the first vote had been cast. This song is incredibly special to jewish and Israeli people and also for anyone who believes in endurance of the human spirit. Long live the hopes of all decent human beings.
I love this song. "Hi, hi, hi, am israel hi". My dad played it for me several times when I was little, and translated it. And it's Ofra Haza, one of the greatest singers in the world!!!
shr444 even hitler had good songs they had the best compostions but they were bad assasins just like israel now. nice song i love ofra, and so what this doesnt make less nazi or zionist. your empire is built on sudsidies and help. u have no economy you depend on charity. u have no success
LOL its so fuuny how plestinens jelouse and hate on all the sucses of israel cmon palestine face it your losers!you can beat isreal WE ARE FUCKIN EMPRIA BY YOU!
Yeah,I think she deserved first place.OK,Luxembourg's song was good too,but I think,this song was much better !
I'm not Israeli (my great-great grandfather was from Israel,then he emirgrated to Turkey,changed his name,and converted Muslim from Jewish.I'm a Muslim) but I love Israeli songs.
lol jews steal? tell me is switzerland the richest country in the world? wanna know why? cause in the holocaust, they stole money from all the jews that had trusted them and put their money in their banks. destroyed all paperwork, and pretended it was all treirs. even when jewish families had paperwork of their own proving otherwise. don't speak when you don't know what you're talking about

I love this song. "Hi, hi, hi, am israel hi". My dad played it for me several times when I was little, and translated it. And it's Ofra Haza, one of the greatest singers in the world!!!

the clothing is yellow on purpose the same color of the jewish star of david patch they had to wear during the holocaust.
So there they sing "Israel's people is alive" in Germany, years later.

Err.. Why is she wearing white then? Let's not get carried away...
erikk73 3 years ago
she's wearing white cuz she represents the new generation.
I'm not making up things, those things are published and known.

I'm not Israeli (my great-great grandfather was from Israel,then he emirgrated to Turkey,changed his name,and converted Muslim from Jewish.I'm a Muslim) but I love Israeli songs.

lol jews steal? tell me is switzerland the richest country in the world? wanna know why? cause in the holocaust, they stole money from all the jews that had trusted them and put their money in their banks. destroyed all paperwork, and pretended it was all treirs. even when jewish families had paperwork of their own proving otherwise. don't speak when you don't know what you're talking about
