When my team members first connected with Paul McCartney, none of them imagined he would become such an engaged and passionate leader for the cause of peace among Israelis and Palestinians. Not only did he passionately embrace the work of OneVoice Israeli and Palestinian youth leaders and rally behind the courageous partnership of the Noa and Mira singing duo, but he now also wrote to President Obama to let him know about OneVoice, and encourage him to support their work!
Noa and Mira Awad, friends and supporters of the OneVoice Movement, are representing Israel in the EuroVision contest. Here is a glimpse of their inspiring song:
