Kuwaiti Singer Sparks Furor for Singing in Hebrew
(Gulf News-UAE) Habib Toumi - Kuwaiti singer and composer Emma Shah, 28, has sparked furor in Kuwait after she sang a song in Hebrew at a local club. After she sang: "Come...Let us rejoice, be happy, enjoy" in Hebrew as part of a recital of songs, she was immediately accused of promoting Zionist ideas and pushing for normalization of relations with Israel. Shah said she was shocked by the negative reaction to a song that called for peace and co-existence. She insisted that the song did not include any insults to Arabs.
