THE NEWEST CRAZE IN EGYPT?

How would the world respond if the top song of Israel was about destroying the Palestinians or eliminating Palestine from the map?

How would the U.N. respond?
How would the Arab league respond?
-Formal apologies would be demanded and world sentiment would be broadcast
            against Israel and against the Jewish people.
-The song would have to be removed from all media sources as to no longer offend
             the “Palestinian” people.

                                             

To add to insult, what if the song was called – “I Love Palestine” but the words that followed were just the opposite?

-      May Palestine be destroyed.

May it be wiped off the map.

May a wall fall on it.

May it disappear from the universe.

God please have it banished.

May it dangle from a noose.

May I see it burning. Amen

I will pour gasoline on it…..

May it be targeted

May it go up in flames that will never subside.

May it destroy itself.

May we never hear of it again.                                                                                                          

Egyptian singer, Amr El Masry, sings theses exact words about Israel in his Egyptian “hit” song.

It’s quite a contrast from Israel’s singer of songs, King David. In 2 Samuel, chapter 23 G-d says He raised David up to sing by His Spirit the song of Israel.  Obviously that doesn’t include wiping it out so that it no longer exists!

 In Psalm 65, verse 9, David sings: You care for the land and water it; You enrich it abundantly.*

And in Psalm 69, verses 35-36 he sings: For G-d will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah.  Then people will settle thee and possess it; the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there.

                               

David sings specifically about peace not destruction. Psalm 122, verses 6-9 are almost the direct opposite of what Amr El Masry sings in his song:

 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.

For the sake of my brothers and friends I will say, “Peace within you.”\
For the sake of the house of the Lord our G-d. I will seek your prosperity.

                                              

In Psalm 51, David says:

 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;

             Build up the walls of Jerusalem.
What a contrast to walls falling upon her!

Who can explain why words of hatred and anger against Israel are sung in a “top hit “ song?

Maybe this is really nothing new.  Maybe this is something that has existed for a very long time, but has remained repressed.

                                     

After Israel became a nation again in May of 1948, bombs were set off in the Jewish Quarter of Cairo killing more than 70 Jews and wounding nearly 200.

In 1956, the Sinai campaign was used as an excuse to expell 25,000 Egyptian Jews from Egypt while confiscating their property.  At that time, more than 1000 Egyptian Jews were sent to prison or detention camps. 

On November 23, 1956 the Minister of Religious Affairs had a proclamation he signed read aloud in mosques throughout Egypt proclaiming “ALL JEWS ARE ZIONISTS AND ENEMIES OF THE STATE.”  As Egyptian Jews were ordered to leave, they were only allowed to take one suitcase and small amounts of cash.

Egyptian Jews were forced to sign documents  “donating" their property to the Egyptian government.  Hostages were taken to insure no one spoke out against the Egyptian government.  Leopold Gleim, the head of the Gestapo in Occupied Poland controlled the Egyptian Secret Police at that time.    

So, it would appear that this “hit” song is NOT a NEW song, but a rather old one that strongly contradicts the song sung by G-d’s singer, King David.
