I have big hopes on this year's Israeli national selection (Kdam), after the very high quality of last year's selection with Boaz, where all competing songs were high class.
I think that Israel finally found a concept for national final that suits them well, with internally selected artist and then invite some good songwriters for a 4 songs selection. I really hope that the songs this year will be as high quality as the ones last year.
Last year I liked every single song in the Israeli selection, and the fact that the selected song ended up in my top. 10 for ESC 2008, although being my least favorite in the Kdam selection, says alot about the quality of the songs of last year's Kdam!
Good luck Israel 
cuz of the gaza case, israel can loose many many votes......
historical fact:
this year 29 years after Moroco 1980, the Arabic language will be heard again on Eurovision stage.
Good luck Israel.
Noa is a Diva and Mira is Queen.
what Israel can ask for more?
i bet the 4 songs will be amazing and with sensitive touch. like all of Noa and Mira's songs.
specialy Noa that each song of her is perfect.
one thing for sure...this girls have great taste in music and they will not compormize on low level songs. i bet they picked the best songs for this Kdam.
i see Israel do well in the Semi-final and go to the Final.
and if you realy want to know what i deeply feel?...
TEL-AVIV 2010. yes...even with all the bad critisism Israel have, Israel will win this year or will be top 5 in the final. mark my words.
promising song titles!
I am desperated to listen to the song of one of my favourite countries, especially this year with Noa, a dream that came true for me.
Good luck, Israel
Noa is a goddess
i've seen her already four times on stage when she toured in France, and the last time was in December. She was HUGE!
I don' t know why but I think that ISRAEL will be very high in the ranking this year..!
I'm sure, ISRAEL will be the France's twelve points... French people lvoes Noah..!
i think that Israel will make a wise choice and will be in final
go Israel!!!!
Finaly, I'm waiting to see what the Israelis will send this time.
They always have very interesting songs.
Good luck from Malta
Where do you hear the songs?
I hope Israel picks a nice song and good luck to them. However, I dont seem them doing well this year no matter what they pick, even with an Arab singer in the mix 
The Gaza situation would still be quite strongly in peoples minds come May!
Good luck to Noa and Miri! I hope the song we will choose this year will be as equal to the previous song from last year.
I just hope there won't be any political hits in the songs..
GOOD LUCK ISRAEL !!
good luck Israel!! looking forward to hear the songs
Good luck Israel .
I hope you will chose a good song .
Emma
I'm sure your friend will be over the moon that the world famous K'dam is on her birthday lmao! 
except come and dance with i think other 3 songs are ballads, 2009 will be years of ballads i hope israel will choose smth uptempo, good luck
thats my friends birthday! lol
From what we know, I like the song of "there are days"
Good luck Israel!
The artists are great, but...i don't think that Israel could do it well after the war in Palestine. galantis . athens
12 point to israel
GOOD LUCK
I LOVE Noa , good luck Israel .
¡¡¡ Israel 2010 !!!
Finally Achinoam Nini will represent my country! I thought about this idea years ago but gave up as years went by - only to be surprised for good this year! & Mira Awad is great tool. If not Harel Skaat - they are the best next thing, & for me Achinoam Nini is equal to my dream to see Harel Skaat at Eurovision - & if our Israeli song will be great - I can't ask for more. Well... maybe that Harel Skaat will represent Israel next in 2010 - & then it will be perfect.What makes me happy the most is that now people all over Europe & even all over the world get to know Shiri Mimon, now Achinoam Nini & hopefully will get to know Harel Skaat as well someday.
@ MIna
Probably they're still looking for an original and unreleased song after October 1st. and for a singer that willing to represent his/her country. LOL
Good luck to Israel!! Two strong voices,I'm sure they will make final
By the way...has anyone heard anything about Hungary???
lol
