The Lebanese singer Elissa and the Syrian Asala are facing a state of great anger from the pioneers of the social networking site "Twitter" from the Emiratis. During the past hours, a number of activists launched a label entitled "Elisa and Asala abuse the Emirates" through which they expressed their refusal to sing Asala in the national operetta of the UAE.

The beginning of the crisis

The crisis began when the Lebanese artist Elissa published on her official page via Twitter a tweet in which she criticized the countries that have peace agreements with Israel, talked about Lebanon's relationship with the Palestinian issue, and demanded not to bid in this regard from people who live in countries that have peace agreements with Israel. By adding "like" to the tweet.

Palestine, in my heart and my dream, visit it, and on the dust of Jerusalem.

But what I hope is that no one is bidding on Lebanon specifically on the issue, especially if it is the country that has pushed the case and defended it the most, especially if there are people who are conspiring against the Palestinian people or living in countries that work for peace with Israel.


All love and prayers for Lebanon and Palestine

Elisa was subjected to a sharp attack by Emirati activists, accusing her of bidding, as the comments said, "As if you are hinting at us, Elissa, the UAE's position is firm with Palestine," and some called for preventing her from entering the Emirates.

The attack affected the Syrian singer Asala, who was preparing to participate in the national operetta of the Emirates on the occasion of the UAE Federation Day, so a number of other activists launched another label "Asala-Excluded" in order to prevent her from participating, calling for the help of Emirati stars.

During the comments, Elissa was described as "the cacophony of Arab singing trying to return to the spotlight," while Asala was described as an icon of screaming.

It is not surprising that the two classes agree in the cacophony of Arab singing in playing the role of political cacophony that may bring them back to the lights after eating eternity and drinking. pic.twitter.com/qpxyX6Ud8c

While one of the commentators demanded the right of Emirati singer Ahlam to sing in the operetta instead of authenticity, and wrote: "The girl of the country is the first to sing in the operetta # Exclude_asala."

The songwriter accused Asala of trying to obtain Saudi nationality, and wrote, "They have insulted the Emirates and forgot to sing afterwards in the UAE .. Asala is seeking all ways to obtain Saudi nationality."

Authenticity refund

While Elissa did not comment on the followers' attack, Asala tried to get out of the situation through a tweet through her official account on Twitter, saying, "My start with the first song in the Gulf dialect was (I hear your voice echo) from the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum .. And it became in My life for this dialect is of great interest and passion ... I do not forget the first success, nor do I forget the goodness and morals of the people of the Emirates # Dubai # Abu Dhabi # UAE_Arabia_United Arab Emirates.

But until this moment, it has not been decided whether Asala will actually be excluded from singing in the operetta or will she participate after what she wrote on her page?
