Israelis singing together: we’re coming with our guns to kill those Amaleks, they have no water and electricity, those rats will not survive when we leave our homes to go to war, we want all those Blacks and Arabs dead (electric solo, disco lights)

Palestinians singing together: oh my homeland how you suffer, one day the bloodshed on your soil will stop, one day we will return to our home village, Palestine will be free again (sitting together in a space lit by phone lights)

#The difference between what is being sung by the Zionist and anti-Zionist communities is so stark #even the dammi falastini and veve palestina backgrounds on videos is so different to lyrics and plain racist yelling going around #like idk if the literal actions over the course of over 70 years wasn’t enough maybe this helps people differentiate #not that there’s anything wrong with chants encouraging violence or like war songs but.#it’s worth thinking about what the songs are *saying*#what the overall message in them are #because I’m seeing a lot of ‘killing civilians is what we do!’ in more or less literally those words #as if that is motivating. and then the brushing over the racism that can’t possibly be plain cultural linguistic misunderstandings.#Palestine #I don’t know how blatant israel will have to be before some people realize they’re falling for lies #but the more than cartoonishly shameful comparison of the Palestinian and Israeli perspective seems to help there #even the Palestinian resistance songs are like. we will get rid of the oppressors and plant olive trees #with like explosion footage playing #idk #something about praying for survival and singing about history surrounded by rubble and little else
