The Blessed Madonna Instagram – Listening to other people when they tell you about their lives. That’s my kind of humbling. Tell me who you are. I believe you. I’m with you.
Nearly a decade ago, I was allowed the great privilege of being invited to travel with several other western artists I admired greatly, of open hearted curiosity and conscience, flying over 12,000 km and crossing that terrible wall just at the border of Bethlehem. I can’t speak for anyone else but for me being a vocal witness to what we saw was mandatory.
I never imagined I would make music, friends, family and experience what life is like on the other side of this wall which traps ordinary non-violent Palestinians in the occupied territory which is now contains an officially designated genocide per the United Nations.
I I mean, who could see this up close, forming personal relationships with a people under decades of persecution simply because of who they are and not speak out.
One would hope all of us who participated were called to action, both then and now.. And to be able to do this right here with you and with music we made is a blessing and a calling I am honored to answer. That’s a joyful noise worth making on the internet. | Posted on 29/Oct/2025 00:39:35
