Excellent
I want to shaheed (to the tune of ‘I want to break free’, by Queen)
I want to shaheed,
I want to sha-heed,
I want to shaheed from this life,
First take yours with a knife,
Be afraiiid, Jew.
I want to sha-heed.
Lwakba-a-a-ahr
Lwakbar, I want to shaheed.
I’ve fallen in love
I’ve faaallen in love,
With death as my birth sign,
This sign will show you my zeaaaal,
I’ve fallen in love,
Lwakbaaahr,
Lwakbar, I’ve fallen in love.
It’s deranged but it’s true
I can’t get over the way death loves me unlike you
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to shaheed, yudi
Oh how I want to sha-heed
Oh how I want to sha-heed
But death still goes on
I can’t get used to dying without killing without
killing without you by my pipe
I don’t want to die alone hey
‘lah knows got to take you out on my own
So yudi can’t you see
I’ve got to shaheed
I’ve got to shaheed
I want to shaheed
I want I want I want I want to shaheed….

Bob Dylan was brilliant. Unfortunately , in the absence of Israel getting a coherant voice and explaining what happened, and why it happened, and in the absence of Israeli spokespeople explaining the troubles and dangers Israel faces on an ever present level to everyday people sitting down of an evening to watch the news at ten, whether in English,Italian or Portugese, nothing will change. It is Israels continual inability to challenge, to find a voice and to articulate that voice on TV or in the media generally that is the problem, no one bites, no one supplys content,history or facts, yes the evidence may be there for those who are obssessivly intersted, but they sure as heck aint there for everyone else. The worlds media, its broadsheets and tabloids, its documentrys, its award winning pullitzer prize journalists are not about to forgo their trophy awards, they never have done. The UN and it’s lackeys are no strangers to conning nations, theyve been doing it for decades. And they seem to be quite good at it.

No, no and no. This is all wrong.
I support Israel, strongly support Israel, many times support Israel, right or a bit wrong, and all its rights, but this is maybe approaching .. how can I say? porn.
Israel is better, far better than this.
What a shabby video. Israel is a jewel, don’t deface it.

What a load of crap. This isn’t a joke to be treated with a bit of derision.
I also support Israel and was on the streets in the middle (literally) of an anti-Israel demonstration yesterday as part of a counter-demonstration trying to keep some perspective and moderation in the face of hysteria and bigotry.
This really is self-righteous and self-indulgent rubbish.

There is only one message…
Come on Pretzelberg ..
Defend that.

The Israeli Hasbara sucks,we are getting clobbered by the likes of the palestinians,Hamas,and the Turks of all people.The Turks who slaughtered 1 and a half million Armenians,who are stomping on the Kurds heads,even they are lecturing us on human rights.
Time to ditch the Mr Nice Guy image it doesn’t work,it’s being ridiculed.
If the Israeli government isn’t capable of running a good PR,then it should outsource it to one of the many Brilliant PR groups.One good PR is worth 10 cast leads.Time to pull the finger out.

I think this is a very funny video.
I also think MartynInEurope and Benorr should take it outside and quit messing up the joint.

They’re clearly having fun at Latma — but there’s actually nothing funny about one of the lines in the clip: “facts are not in demand, so we’re always going to have the upper hand”. No satire, straightforward reporting…
But now, drum roll, a prediction: the next wave of Guardian outrage will NOT be directed at this:

Fairplay
It’s funny and it’s true.
The truth often hurts.
Shame that some of us seem to lack a sense of humour.

Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post, who jointly launched Latma TV, (the one wearing the kaffiyeh and waving the pen-knife), is quite the best commentator in the world on the Middle East. The lyrics and performance are brilliant; the tune a bit old-hat. See Caroline’s blog here:

please spread it, spread it really fast
it is the perfect anthem (without lyrics) to be sung by pro-Israelites who have the gut to disturb todays demo by Duisburg mosque.
the showing of Israel flags has led to accusations in court that those who did it would disturb public order
singing humming whatever a well-known melody everywhere is hopefully not equally actionable

the tune is great because even us oldsters may be able to hum it along with our iPods during our next supermarket visit
maybe “we shall overcome” would be even more appealing to me but one has to compromise with the younger generations preferences

It is widely known that authoritian and fascistic regimes cannot tolerate the ambiguity which comes from satire or any sort of humour.
That is why this video is a must to be circulated widely.
And MartyninEurope, your post has shown me everything I need to know about you.

Elders of Ziyon reports that he has an Italian site giving him many hits – I have tried to figure them out, they seem to be hostile but I think that is a good thing, because the more “they” know it the easier it will be for “them” to recognize “us” when we do our shopping while humming and low key singing the melody
(the prospect of being “caught” at it frightens me – but so be it – given that there is still no news from the wounded soldiers )
