"You Promised An Olive Branch, A Dove": The Ballad of Oslo's Children

No, it's not more antisemitism in Norse Code.  It's the talented Noam Jacobson and other performers from Latma, taking time out from their usual satirical frolics to sing a haunting ballad about the shattered dream of the Oslo Accords of 1993.

    A great piece (haha!) there from the Latma team. Very bitter, very moving. I know feelings on the subject run high in Israel, but I still think Oslo was the right thing to do. It didn't work out as planned, but what does, after all? It had to be tried.

    Speaking of which, I recommend this article by Efraim Karsh on what Oslo actually did mean:
