A Voice From "Apartheid Israel": Lina Sings "Hallelujah"

Onthe  final of "The Voice" in Israel recently, Lina Makhoul, an Israeli Christian Arab from Akko, enthralled the audience and judges with her beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," and won, leaving Ben Shitrit, who sang Ishfiut Zmanit's "Hakaitz Haakharon" ("The Last Summer") in runner-up position. Ms Makhoul, who's 19, thereby got a record contract and a music scholarship.
