Homophobia: Cures Middle East conflict, produces crap disco song.

It seems that Israeli singer Benny Elbaz has decided the best way to try and stop an impending gay pride parade in Jerusalem is to release a song about it. The song, “Jerusalem Will Burn” is a duet with a Muslim singer, an action Elbaz sees as a step toward peace in the Middle East, because – hey, if they can’t agree on anything else, they certainly can agree that gays are icky! Of course what Elbaz and his ‘friend’ seem to have not noticed is his brand of hi-energy Euro-pop is the kind of Eurovision-friendly pap that sans homophobic lyrics could really get some gay booty shaking on the dance floor. Sounds like it’s about time to send Donna Summer to the Middle East to have a little talk with the man about how it’s not nice to make the gays angry, especially when your music is, like, kinda gay?
