this is love standing up to oppression through beauty, art, music. keep it up and may bands around the world raise their voices in song with yours and ours to bring Israeli racism to its knees
So what's new? Finally Resistance is back in pop music, where it is needed most! Rock always had it's roots in fighting against oppression.. But it has weakened.. life became comfortable. But all this time we have been supporting the process of expulsion of Palestinians, and most of us don't even know it! We had Apartheit, anti-Semitism, oppression of women, oppression in daily life, and thousands of songs about it! And it helped! But about Palestinians?! Nothing! Let a thousand bands cry out!!
Strong lyrics. A troubled Palestinian, this time not as victim, looks out his window, seeing the new Israeli flags and tanks, saying "Hello my friends, what exactly is it, you think you are doing?!". He pities the Israeli Victims of the Twisted Word, seeing themselves as gods. (religious colonists believing stealing land will save their souls..) He says: just cut the crap, no one believes you anyway, get out of your mental zoo, and let the lazy peace dove inside yourself fly, for a change :-)
Thanks, great perfomance. When cinema jenin opens in march 2010 we would love to invite you to perform in Jenin. But first we need to renovate the revenue and work on to let it happen! Marcus
When I first saw Hellmut Hattler in Hamburg Germany I was a schoolgirl, he was member of Kraan and
...the fence of Berlin was still exisiting, dividing the german nation in two parts...in Israel there was no fence at that time...
Now it is quite the oposite, the german fence has gone, the german nation is reunited, but the fence in israel/Palestine is diving that country...
strange transformation...

Mines in my soul blast if i only think of you
We never gonna bite one's bait even if your story was true
Staring through my window pane watch you digging on my ground
To post some flags and tanks shows who's up and who's around
... See More
Let's get back to the minimum to get away from the minimal talk
Assalamu alaikum my little white gods
Why don't you raise your hands and burn that fence down
Better get back to the minimum to get away from the minimal talk

At its core the song has such a controversial idea. It takes good artistry and artists to bring it out so wonderfully.
It sounds so hopeful yet struggling. :)
