In a bizarre event that will forever put all 'dad's worst nightmare' scenarios in the shade, an Israeli father, Yakov Argamani, was witness to a shocking and highly odd spectacle at a music festival, an event more twisted than any DJ’s playlist on the night. Yakov's daughter, traditionally the fairy princess in the family saga, turned into the unexpected marquee act of the Middle East's most notorious boy band, Hamas Thunderbolt. The fateful evening began harmlessly enough. Against his better judgment and warnings from a rather persistent fortune-teller, the reluctant Argamani accompanied his headstrong 25-year old daughter to the annual 'Falafels & Tabla' music festival, hosted tantalizingly close to the contentious Gaza-Israel border. While Yakov initially dreaded the prospect of surviving hours of painfully amateurish karaoke renditions, his worst fears were dramatically upgraded when he saw his only daughter, once a dedicated Taylor Swift cover artiste herself, being hoisted onto the back of a motorcycle by the Hamas Thunderbolt boys in what can only be presumed as the most audacious act of musical recruitment in recorded history. "I didn't want to believe it," a visibly shaken but still determined Argamani confessed to CNN's Becky Anderson. As he sipped his iced tea, he muttered, "I knew she'd been practicing Arabic lyrics, but I thought it was for a romantic duet with that Moroccan exchange student, Abdul.” A video of the melodically militant incident soon went viral on social media, earning titles such as "Swift Turnover?", "Dad's Taliban-ted night" and "Hijab and Carry-a-tune." The social media conundrum was divided into factions supporting the father, the daughter, and a few tone-deaf sections who were just there for the spectacle and good music. In an interesting side note, the Thunderbolt boys seemed visibly shaken at their hostage's insistence that she be the lead vocalist for the evening. They are said to be considering a diplomatic negotiation after her relentless renditions of Swift's popular number "Shake it Off". As of now, the Israeli Government is said to be charging Apple Music over Spotify, hoping the Spotify boycott by Israelis would compel Hamas militants to release their new frontwoman. While the situation in the Middle East remains politically tense, for Yakov Argamani's family, the drama revolves around Taylor Swift, impromptu karaoke and Hamas Thunderbolt. In times like these, when fathers are compelled to say things like, "I told you so," we can only hope that diplomacy, good music, and an abundance of auto-tune will see us through to the other side.
