Israeli rap
A rap I wrote a while ago about Israel and Palestine:
Let’s go back in time, to 1948,
Zionists in Palestine, with the will to dominate,
It never came into their minds, to create their racist state,
In the wealthier climes, of the United fucking States,
But they had an agenda, that they could not surrender,
You know what, I think Balfour went on a fucking bender,
Took a map of the Middle East, said fuck Arabian peace,
There’s a desert full of oil and by some means we need a reason
To be a rampaging demon in the heard of their lands,
Some cover other than a raving fetish for sand,
To build bases from Palestine to Afghanistan,
These fuckers, they’re money-hungry scum to a man.
Do you cry at my rhymes, I lay the facts down straight,
Does it blow your mind, the way I replicate your hate?
With the passage of time, you’ll come to learn from your mistakes,
And seek to terminate the racist rape Israeli state.
I saw the BBC news web site this morning,
The sight of biased text evoked a frightful mourning,
For all the death and torture that they weren’t recording,
This slaughter, is aided by their biased reporting.
‘Israel outlines new peace deal’ it said,
‘Hamas warns of intifada’ on the other spread,
No mention here at all of the comparative dead,
Four palestinians, for every Israeli dead.
Look at the context and it explodes into your head,
A vision of decisions, a progression of oppression,
Bulldozers flattening every section of Palestinian possession,
Their nation's under military occupation,
But any resistance, is shown as terrorist organisation,
Nothing'll change, until we fight the corporations,
Behind the framing of an entire population.
Do you cry at my rhymes, I lay the facts down straight,
Does it blow your mind, the way I replicate your hate?
With the passage of time, you’ll come to learn from your mistakes,
And seek to terminate the racist rape Israeli state.
