IN ADVANCE OF Israel’s One Love Festival, a video featuring a

Bob Marley, the Algemeiner reported.

The 2019 promotional clip for the festival includes children
from a Jewish kibbutz, an Arab school, a nursery in Herzliya,
members of a gospel group composed of Israelis from Eritrea
and Sudan, and members of the Breslov Chasidic sect. They sing
“One Love,” a Marley song about universal love and unity.

Video producer Bella Malkin said the non-Israeli children
were excited about the project. “They knew they were filming
an Israeli clip that would be broadcast on YouTube to the whole
world, and they were very enthusiastic about this idea and the
possibility of sending a message of peace from Gaza.” l
