At first I thought, “Oh, no, another politically correct liberal feel-good promotion.” Maybe they intended it that way, who knows.
But they did some interesting things.
They sang the verse “God shed his grace on thee” in English quite prominently as they switched languages.
They also sang in HEBREW.
Other things were OK too.
Not everything that seems politically correct is fully bad. We do not live in isolation and this might be OK for public consumption by the entire world and by low information voters who are generally irrational and can only be won over by gradually educating them.
Remember that this is an advertisement not only to these USA, but to the world.
And we believe America is Beautiful (which was their tag line) and that God Shed His Grace On Thee!” and we are happy to have Israel sing with us. It’s kind of a good message about these USA.
Very good analysis. Thank you.
We are a western nation and our values are not universal. Not a fan of the ad, nor of Asiatic and Latin hordes polluting our nation.
2nd. The lyric God shed His grace on thee was very prominent, perfectly clear, and in this day and age subversive.
I’ll go with your version.
I didn’t pay attention to the game after 1/2 time and missed the commercial.
Then why didn't they sing it in English? I don't care if Hebrews sing America the Beautiful in Hebrew. It's a song about America not Israel.
