The tiny young war-torn nation of Israel has won the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest, held this year on April 22nd in Paris.  This great honor comes at a difficult time for the nascent nation, with last month’s invasion into Lebanon.  The song contest itself also caused problems for several North African and Middle-Eastern nations that were televising the contest, even though they were not participating.
