Cambridge censor notwithstanding-this soulful journey....
Desertwriter | 02/25/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"How can one not mention the suffering of being in EXILE when talking about the music/musicians of EXILE? How can one not talk about the deep place that Gilad's music evokes when he is an exiled Israeli due to the very thing which "Cambridge" wants to silence. Perhaps we should all cease any creative efforts used to expiate our sorrow, grief and rage at the racist violence which goes unmentioned in American media when it whitewashes unmitigated Zionist arrogance. I am a non-Zionist Jew who mourns the "latest" Palestinian crucifixion."

Man speaks God laughs. You ought be ashamed to have so little care for the humanity of others, as they should be ashamed for their lack of humanity. Now that you are both the same in the eyes of god enjoy the wonderful music.

I loved looking at the other reviewers moaning about this political issue or that offensive remark... Gilad's plan is working.



By that I mean, 'No, no offence to anyone, but people are entitled to their opinions, and hearing them gives us the bigger picture.' Anyone who rebukes that theory is 1 dimensional and weak willed. I listen to and talk with people from all creeds and colors, yet it never stains my overall opinions on anything. They may serve to open up new ideas and concepts... and that's the spirit of free speech!





On a musical level he is just as radical. He plays with the Blockheads, too, who are friends of mine, and its not hard to see why hes so good! I didn't know giants still walked the earth, but they dooooo..."
