Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Stand up, all victims of oppression, For the tyrants fear your might! Don't cling so hard to your possessions, For you have nothing if you have no rights! Let racist ignorance be ended, For respect makes the empires fall! Freedom is merely privilege extended, Unless enjoyed by one and all. So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The international ideal, Unites the human race. Let no one build walls to divide us, Walls of hatred nor walls of stone. Come greet the dawn and stand beside us, We'll live together or we'll die alone. In our world poisoned by exploitation, Those who have taken, now they must give! And end the vanity of nations, We've but one Earth on which to live. So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The international ideal, Unites the human race.
Current:
| "Hatikvah" As long inside our hearts כֹּל עוֹד בַּלֵּבָב פְּנִימָה A Jewish soul still yearns, נֶפֶשׁ יְהוּדִי הוֹמִיָּה, And onward toward the East, וּלְפַאֲתֵי מִזְרָח קָדִימָה, Looking towards Tzion; עַיִן לְצִיּוֹן צוֹפִיָּה; We have not lost hope yet, עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ, The hope is two thousand years old, הַתִּקְוָה בַּת שְׁנוֹת אַלְפַּיִם, To be a free people in our land, לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ, The land of Tzion and Yishelem אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם |
Proposed:
| We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield Youre beggin me to go, youre makin me stay Why do you hurt me so bad? It would help me to know Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing youve had? Believe me, believe me, I cant tell you why But Im trapped by your love, and Im chained to your side We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield |
