Yeah! Getting political on yo' asses! Big goings on between Israel and the Palestinians!
But wait, there's also a really quite talented bunch of Aussies called The Middle East, and they play rather lovely folk-pop with echoes of Sufjan Stevens, Grizzly Bear and Arcade Fire (if they calmed down and weren't so right-on about everything).
Check them out here:

Floating, beguiling harmonies. Much less intense than the West Bank.
P.S. I do like Arcade Fire, but there's nothing wrong with chilling out now and again.
