Respect...

So this is the wining song that will represent Israel at the Eurovision music contest in Finland...

It has caused a bit of a stir, since the good people at the Eurovision believe it to be to overtly "political", referring to Iran's nuclear ambitions, i.e turning Israel into toast. Literally. Apparently lyrics that say "And I don't wanna die, I wanna see the flowers bloom, don't wanna go kaput-kaboom" are too poignant for the delicate European pallet.
