[elaine101ify]

Listen to these people talking about where he's from. At the end of the day it doesn't matter where he's from, but about what's happening in the middle east, and what those people are going through. That's just selfish.

[nash1ha]

America comes first, Mr. President; not Israel.

"I saw the destiny of Nations on TV. I didn't want to miss it so I didn't go to sleep. It really was exciting to watch the whole world turn to rust. But I wouldn't be human, made out of this dust. If I thought that I knew, that the way to get across to you, was this high and winding stair, I'd be there." -~Arlo Guthrie from Stairs on Mystic Journey from 1996.

[MrSuper2007]

[NoorAlHaqiqa]

Think on this. Under the NWO we are ALL Palestinians... Egyptians.... the "overlords" have the same fate in mind for us all, one nation at a time... so yes, we are ALL in this together, borders are arbitrary things and have little to do with humanity ....

[coralreefuk]

@NoorAlHaqiqa and the borders of modern day Middle East were drawn up by foreign powers.

[fudman02]

[stopdemockery]

Egypt,

Settle for nothing less than a government designed to perpetually define, proclaim and achieve the true will of the People of Egypt. Then you will have become the birthplace of real democracy.

[portcitymike1]

Listen to Beast 1333

[AmerikanPatriot]

Obama and his socialist cronies are sitting on their asses watching this happen. We need to get the military out of Iraq and into Cairo before that mob starts marching on Tel Aviv. Use drones, neutron bombs whatever it takes.

[Saxophonic]

@AmerikanPatriot Hahahahaha FUCK ISRAEL, The world can't wait till a new regime takes over Egypt and the dirty Zionist fuckers have one of the middle easts biggest armys right next to them, If you was a American Patriot you would want Americas best interests, and Israel are not. They take tons of the American taxpayers moneys to put bullets into toddlers.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic

"put bullets into toddlers."

Funny, considering you'd probably love to put bullets into Israeli toddlers.

[Saxophonic]

@VictimOfBoredom No i wouldn't i could never draw myself to kill a child, unlike the IDF who killed 800 children under 9 years old in the Gaza offensive a few years ago, that is disgusting.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic If every Israeli toddler is just going to end up becoming a murderous IDF personnel anyway, why not just kill 'em while they're still young?

[Saxophonic]

@VictimOfBoredom Because i'm considerate, judging by your choice of words that is obviously how you feel about Muslims/Gazan. Thats the thing with you pro-zionists, you go on about how another bout of ethnic cleansing could happen in that region, when it already is happening to the Palestinians.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic Nice way to avoid the issue. You know what I said is true (that is, if all IDF personnel are murderous thugs who deserve to be shot, and all Israeli citizens are required to do military service, then you might as well just kill 'em all while they're still young).

Also, life expectancy in the West Bank is higher than that of roughly half the world's countries. Why are you ignoring the billions of people who suffer much worse than the Palestinians?

[Saxophonic]

@VictimOfBoredom Sadly i don't have a sick twisted mind like yourself and where did i say they deserve to be shot? i just stated the truth that the IDF are children murderers and there are thousands of documents, footage and photos to prove this. Maybe i need to send you some photos i've seen of a Palestinian children with shrapnel lodged halfway through their skull? And nice try using west bank instead of gaza as a example, because you know how disgusting the living conditions are.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic Don't you believe children murderers deserve to be shot? Since military service is mandatory for all Israeli citizens, my point still stands.

As for the Gaza Strip, it ranks 111 out of 223, with an average life expectancy at birth of 73.68, which places it ahead of the likes of Malaysia, Egypt, Brazil, Indonesia, and a whole bunch of other countries.

Why not cry on behalf of the citizens of sub-Saharan Africa? They live MUCH worse lives than Palestinians.

[Saxophonic]

@VictimOfBoredom How would you know? My brother is currently out in Gaza doing aid work and some of the things he has seen would traumatise you, typical Zionist sitting behind your keyboard feeling brave and not recognising a ethnic cleansing that is taking place at the moment in Gaza. Btw i wouldn't take that ranking too seriously, it was Israel that gave the figures to the national life expectancy researchers.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic I love how you throw around the word "Zionist" as if that's my profession. I'm no more a "Zionist" than I am a "Sinicist" or an "Americanist". Anyway, there are things going on ALL AROUND THE WORLD that would "traumatize you". My point remains, why are you only fixated on the Palestinians? We both already know the answer—because it involves the Jews.

Typical Gazist, sitting behind your keyboard feeling brave and not recognizing the cruelties being perpetrated all around the world.

[Saxophonic]

@VictimOfBoredom You are a Zionist, plain and simple. And i was waiting for the Jew/Anti-semite argument to come into action, notice in all my comments i haven't mentioned anything about Jews. Why? because Zionism is not a reflection in the slightest of Judaism and anyone saying that it is, is looking for the world to be more anti-semetic than it already is. Judaism does not advocate stealing of land and killing of innocent people like Zionism does.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic Nice job ignoring all my points. Your silence is construed as approval.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@Saxophonic Also, Zionism isn't directly tied to Judaism as a religion, but it *is* directly tied to the Jewish PEOPLE, because it's fundamentally a belief that the Jewish people have the same right to nationhood as Georgians, Ukrainians, Koreans, Thais, Kazakhs, and any other culturally distinct peoples. The thing with you "anti-Zionists" is that it's only JEWISH nationhood that you have a problem with, despite the fact that MANY other nation states PRESENTLY subjugate cultural minorities.

[friendfarang]

@VictimOfBoredom Although I do not support the eradication of Jewish nationhood as many Jews were born there and therefore deserve to stay, the concept isn't all that ridiculous really given that just 100 years or so back, that country was called Palestine and now the Palestinians have lost almost all their country and are even persecuted in the small territories that remain.

[HolyWarriorSinaloa]

@Saxophonic don't say f the holy land because the governments who are doing this not all jews

[TheWarningShot]

@AmerikanPatriot When will the US realise they are nothing but a bunch of dogs controlled by the Zionist regime? I can't believe how ignorant and dumb Americans are! Billions and billions of taxpayers money go to Israel, don't you ask your self why you are funding a whole country? Well guess what, cuz they control you.

Americans need to wake up from their ignorance, they really need a revolution too.

[Fatima74]

AJE get it right lol - Omar is Syrian American and it is HIP HOP not rap =)

[s0uthie187]

@Fatima74 hip hop and rap = same thing

[Fatima74]

@s0uthie187 - Not really. There is a difference and Hip Hop is a culture.

[coralreefuk]

@Fatima74 Syrian? Egyption? Palestinian? What does it matter? They are all brothers.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@coralreefuk Syrian, Egyptian, Palestinian, Jewish, Chinese, Russian, American—we're ALL brothers. ;)

[Fatima74]

@coralreefuk - look i know omar personally, it's something we can joke about, get over it =)

[coralreefuk]

@Fatima74 I am not really bothered whether you know him personally or not. My point is there is very little difference between Arabs and what we don’t need is people putting divisions between us constantly. Omar obviously thinks the same, hence going all out for Egypt, either that or he is an opportunist.

[Fatima74]

@coralreefuk - I corrected Al-Jazeera on some facts: Omar was called Egyptian and Hip Hop was referred to as rap. Now you are accusing me of "putting divisions between us constantly". You need to chill out, I am not the enemy here.

[seedo201]

@coralreefuk god bless you

[elmoro4lyf]

LOOOL Egyptian Rapper ;) haha Offendum is Syrian :D

Anyways that'd a great track :D & big ups to AJ obviously :)

[Fatima74]

@elmoro4lyf - sounds like you caught that too, yet I am being accused of "putting divisions between us constantly" lol.

[elmoro4lyf]

@Fatima74 Lol it just stood out :) it's nothing to do with causing division they made a mistake :D it doesn't matter where he comes from it's just the fact that they got it wrong :)

[MetaphorInVain]

He seems like such a wise young guy! And I can only agree: Thank you Al Jazeera!

[kip151]

Wow this kid impressed me! Articulate smart and self aware... Great Job!

[abosleman2002]

AlJazeera❤

[portcitymike1]

Listen to some true raw new age american political hip hop... LCOB, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, hasan salaam, n dead prez. Not this cheesy omar offendum hipster

[Mus990]

@portcitymike1 Give the guy a chance.

[J3KYLL]

@portcitymike1 I don't agree at all. If anyone in underground rap is cheesy its vinnie paz from JMT lmao. There's only so much "Vinnie Paz baby! Pazmanian devil!" I can take. I.T. can be okay but he needs to quit the stupid conspiracy theory shit. He's like the hip-hop Alex Jones - that's not cool. Dead Prez is okay but has been around for many years, I wouldn't consider them at all new age, they're more like legends with a cult following. Don't really know LCOB or Hasan well enough to comment.

[MCArs3nic]

@portcitymike1 Truth be told, for JMT there aren't alot of politics in their music. It's really just mindless acts of violence from Vinnie Paz, especially now more so then ever. I'm a huge fun of their older stuff since there was a form of lyricism involved, but now days Vinnie will do the following on a track: Talk about an alcoholic beverage he's gonna drink, take the name of a few guns, how he will kill you, claim he's the greatest, and throw in an absurd conspiracy theory.

[MCArs3nic]

@portcitymike1 I.T. is sick no doubt agree with you there, but how many of his songs have you heard that evoke more than just feelings of anger? There are certain aspects of being an MC and versatility is one. Omar Offendum pretty much has it all down, but don't take my word for it, actually listen to his music. Dead Prez were ripped a Drake beat and sent a shout out to Drake in their latest mixtape, and if anyone's a hipster it Drake. And Yes, Hasan Salaam and Dead Prez are dope.

[MCArs3nic]

@portcitymike1 LCOB are pretty dope, when they don't go crazy on their 5%'er-ism. and conspiracies. Just note, if you shout all the time, ain't no one gonna listen to you. Omar Offendum is a poet, listen and try to understand his words.

LOL k I'm done.

[phooey108]

@portcitymike1

you can do a fuck of a lot worse than this kid.

[portcitymike1]

But all in all, this dude blows. And his feeble attempt to at gaining media attention thru al jazeera by giving them a shout out in his song and making his entire video pieces of al jazeera media coverage is lame.

[portcitymike1]

@yasyaf710 i always find it amusing when people try to act hard via Internet. And I'm not British...maybe a prick...but not British. I'm a Hispanic who was born n raised in Ca...USA. and your a douche bag who has lil Wayne videos posted on your page...fag! Yes I'm well aware lowkey isn't the only rev. rap artist.
