Watching the posted video, at least some of the singers' Hebrew seems to be with Israeli accents.

There are plenty of non-Jews who live in Israel and speak Israeli-accented Hebrew. Does not make them Jews. Just as looking at people with no other data available except their appearance and deciding that they are IDF is invalid as well. Plenty of non-Jews are in the IDF, too. Your "freedom to worship Hashem" is an attempt to co-op actual Torah Judaism and substitute your own version of "Hashem" for the one defined in the Torah. Nice try, but no sale.

Not that many; vast majority who are not Arab or African are Jews, probably less than 5% fit criteria you mentioned.

Does not make them Jews.

As previously written, having a Jewish mother makes one Jewish.

No, it does not make in invalid. Outside of Arabs, Druze, and Africans (although some have converted), there are not that many non-Jews in the IDF. Even the Mitnavdim chutz la'aretz (Volunteers outside of Israel) had to be Jews to enter the IDF. If one sees black hats, and hears Yiddish, one can make reasonable assumptions, up to a point. These assumptions are only invalid if disproved.

Besides who they represent, what specific objections are there to the song itself ? Men and women singing together, electronics, lyrics ?
