A new network campaign calls on Israel's leading singers to stop being silent in the face of the legal revolution and start making their voices heard.
At the center of the campaign, unveiled last night by Eran Suisa, are some of Israel's most prominent singers, including Hanan Ben Ari, Shlomo Artzi, Shalom Hanoch, Dodo Tessa, Sharit Haddad, Keren Pels, Moshe Peretz and Ninet Taib.
The campaign addresses each of the singers by name and asks: "Israel is dying to hear you!".
Next to each picture a quote from one of the songs of that singer is attached in some way to the state of the country.
For example, the quote next to Ninet's photo is "Sea of tears in both my eyes", the quote next to Keren Pels's photo is "When a flood descended on the street", the quote next to Shalom Hanoch's photo is "The stock market fell, people are jumping from the roof" and so on.

About a month ago, hundreds of Israeli artists signed a manifesto on behalf of the Public Broadcasting Corporation and called to join the fight to preserve democracy.
In a letter under the title "Musicians for Democracy", the musicians claimed that "it is no coincidence that someone who tries to stage a coup d'état and empty democracy of its contents chose the elimination of public broadcasting as one of his first goals".
The signatories clarified that many of them intend to come to the upcoming demonstration on Saturday night in Tel Aviv.
The petition was signed by dozens of musicians and artists, including senior figures such as Shalom Hanoch, Shlomo Artzi, Ninet Tayeb, Ehud Banai, Yehuda Polyker, Jordana Erzi, Margalit Tsenani, Nega Erez, Arkadi Duchin, Eli Luzon, Berry Sakharof, Rita, Ravid Plotnik, Yehudit Ravitz , Danny Sanderson, Yizhar Ashdot, Avi Ohion, Aviv Gefen, Yonathan Gefen, Gali Atari, Nurit Galron, Roni Dalomi, Karolina, Danny Bassan, Dana Berger, Shlomi Shaban, David Broza, Efrat Gush, Miki Gabrielov, Ethnics, Keren Pels, Alon Olarchik, C.

The manifesto reads: "We, 'Musicians for Democracy', stand together and express support for the employees of the Public Broadcasting Corporation. We have come to say 'Enough!' The Israeli from among them chose the elimination of public broadcasting as one of his first goals."
"The Public Broadcasting Corporation is one of the best and most important things that has happened in Israeli culture in the last decade. It brings a variety of voices, stories, music and songs, from all ends and levels of Israeli society. It is of enormous importance to continue its blessed work. The closing of the corporation is the silencing of thousands of voices that will never find their place In the commercial broadcasters, voices that create the complexity and true beauty of Israeli society. We will work together with our friends in the corporation until this program is canceled," they added.
In the coming New Year's Eve, many of us will come to the huge demonstration on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, together with all the citizens of Israel to preserve the democracy dear to all of us."
