Egyptian Music Video: Israel Destroyed Twin Towers

From Arutz Sheva

A vehemently anti-Israel and anti-America music video called "Hey Arabs Leaders" is the latest smash hit in Egypt and the Arab world. The Egyptian-produced video claims – among other things – that Israel destroyed the World Trade Center, and the US and Israel are divvying up the Arab world.

The following is a translation of some of the lyrics of the video, which was produced one month ago:

"...Two faces of the same coin, America and Israel.
They made the world a jungle and ignited the fuse.
America spread its wings, doesn't care at all.
No one can stop her, no one can catch her.
Soon he (Bush) will say Iran, then he will say Syria,
But he is silent about [North] Korea.
About that [Twin] Tower, oh people
Definitely! His friends [Israel] were the ones who brought it down.
What terrorism!! [Visual shows Sharon pushing the button]
How many years are left.
For America and Israel acting as bullies. . . "

The singer, Shaaban Abdul Rahim, was interviewed in the official PA daily Al Hayaat Al Jadida this week, and said that his feelings of hatred of Israel and the US were representative of the sentiments of the Arab world in general.

[...]

Shaaban: "I was asked to many parties in America for the Arab communities, and although it is worth a lot of money I will not go to America and I boycott even American cigarettes...I wrote the song 'I hate Israel' in 2000...we did not anticipate the greatness of the success

Hey! Shaaban baby! Can we have our $2 Billion a year back then?

The use of music and song to promote hatred among children is very common on Palestinian Authority TV. Palestinian Media Watch has documented such methods of incitement on PA TV extensively.

Cute, huh? So, tell me again, how long is the Israel-Palestinan conflict going to last?
