not really a folk song but a national song. its an interesting video because it mixes the palestinian culture with the israeli as in its a video of the israeli struggle in east jerusalem for the palestinians that i have been an active member of. one can see me in the video at 0:58-59 with sunglasses and a hat, and at 1:57. its also interesting culturally since most of it is a palestinian song except for the beggining which features the jerusalem based samba protest band that is part of the worldwide rythms of resistance.
so it has a few levels of local folk music.

and here is the other side of the political spectrum

israeli folk music is a mixture of all different kinds of music that immigrated to palestine during the first few waves of immigration. a lot of russion influenced stuff, with an attempt to create a nostalgia for working the land and socialism and stuff like that.

since jewish israeli culture is pretty new its hard to decide what exactly is a folk song and folk culture, since it is all a bit artificial, compared to palestinian culture which its much more of an indigenous culture.
