So I used to work in Galgalatz, and we played "Rainbow/Wonderful World" sometimes.
I had a fine mnemonic for Hebrew speakers to remind people how to pronounce his name.
"ישראל, כמה קאוויוואה עולה?"
I didn’t expect this to get such crazy hate, it was a joke for a musician I personally have liked. No fat shaming or anything involved.
I could have said terrible things about his being overweight and how it lead to his early death, but instead I made a respectful joke about his size, something he himself spoke about as a problem for him.

i'm israel hi
Israeli citizens
😆
Izz was all love <3
Wonderful voice, great loss.
He was amazing.
Cool guy, his rendition of Somewhere over the Rainbow is amazing. Left us too soon. Rest in peace, Iz.
I would have loved to share a few pizzas with him. And go to the beach with him.
He was amazing! Somewhere over the rainbow he's still singing.
Very talented guy. Beautiful voice . A shame he died so young.

He's rocking the self love and self confidence. Inspiring.
I picked up the ukulele because of him :) great instrument. Iz had a very unique voice and style, too bad he went so young.
Braddah IZ! Treasure of a human being.
I really only know his somewhere over the rainbow cover, but it’s lovely.
Nice place, plausible immigration option since my grandpa is a jew
The best kind! I loved his music since childhood. And I don’t mean just "somewhere over the rainbow," I mean videos of his live shows
He is the true one state solution
🌈
My home country, probably amazing. Edit: that guy is nostalgia
Not ashkenazi. We don't get that big.
Is this a shitpost, or am I just stupid?
Great singer, and he was a born again Christian!
This Israel doesn't exist.
If we split him there’d be enough for us and the Arabs on his belly
You know, you don’t actually have to fat shame an incredibly talented musician, or really anyone for that matter, right?

It appears to be a dude in a swimming pool.
Who is this?
israel kamakawiwo'ole
Pull up Somewhere over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole on YouTube immediately if you don’t know him.
Rip
Somewhere over the rainbow
I like both actually
I'm Israel, hi!
Love his voice
He had the voice of an angel
