An inspiring and artful video. Thanks for posting it. But…as a political statement I find it somewhat lacking. Yes we can what? Change to what? It’s empty rhetoric, and reminds me too much of the hippie movement I loved being part of, but did nothing to improve my life, or the majority of others.
It is great. Do you know the name of the woman who says it in Hebrew (twice)?
I did not find the video inspiring at all; it’s just three words repeated. And I found it inappropriate in this venue. My loyalty lies elsewhere, and this smacks of biased promotion.
I can’t view the video (my computer is a slow dial-up), but just wanted to say keep up the great messages!
