A new and most striking hate music video, entitled "The Game" started appearing yesterday on Palestinian Authority (PA) TV. The clip, which is sung in English, starts with the female vocalist, looking down from heaven, singing about "hundreds of years" of "peaceful living" on earth. Then suddenly "heaven's gates opened wide" and waves of victims start to arrive. (Visuals of Arabs and Africans.) The singer decides to go to earth to see for herself what has caused this death wave and discovers a world so horrific she is happy "not to be alive." The world has been engulfed in "the game of terror". Interspersed throughout the clip primarily of Palestinians, are archival scenes of injured and suffering people from around the world. Dead bodies and victims of massacres, horrific close ups of mutilated bodies, including scenes of victims from Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Africa, and even the well-known picture of a tractor pushing piles of Holocaust victims into a grave. The atomic-bomb mushroom cloud appears followed by pictures of victims.
The repeating refrain of the song: "In the name of terror, innocents die. It's a game of horror, I don't know why."
The lyrics on their own suggest this is a song condemning terror, however, the visuals paint a different picture: Israel is to blame for all world terror and suffering. While the victims are from numerous conflicts, the only soldiers shown are Israelis, often in shooting positions, and Israeli soldiers appear at least ten times. The text also includes the words: "How could anyone have survived? I was happy to be not alive. How could anyone, through occupation, survive?" The word "occupation", of course, being the word the PA uses in English to define Israel's rule over the disputed territories, and in Arabic to define all of Israel.
The message of this hate-clip is a common theme promoted by PA and Arab leadership: Israeli and/or Jews are behind all world conflict and suffering, either directly, or indirectly by forcing the hand of world powers. It is likewise interesting to note that following standard propaganda tactic, killer and victim are switched. Though Israel has been the most repeated terror victim in recent years, Israel is depicted in this clip as the perpetrator of terror. And whereas perpetrators of international terror have been predominantly Arabs and Muslims, there is not even one scene showing either Arab terror, such as, the world trade center, or victims of Arab terror.
The visuals are very powerful and tell the main story. The scenes of victims of massacres and dead bodies interspersed with pictures of Israeli soldiers, send a clear hate-message.
The following is the full text. As mentioned, the song is in English and all language mistakes below are in the original.
“The Game” / Aida
Vocalist: I live in heaven for hundreds of years A peaceful living Without fears or tears Where there’s no fear, death or sorrow No yesterday and no tomorrow Vocalist recites: Suddenly heaven gates opened wide People were coming tide after tide From all races, colors and places Agony stories on their faces To know what happened And find out why I went to earth down from the sky What I saw I wish no one will see Even an enemy who can see I was happy to be not alive How could anyone good survive? I was happy to be not alive How could anyone, through occupation, survive? Vocalist sings: In the name of terror Innocents die It’s a game of horror I don't know why Chorus: In the name of terror Innocents die It’s a game of horror I don’t know why Genocide inside camps and cities Massacres outside and through cities In the name of terror innocents die (x2) Vocalist: Forces of evil Destruction and death, Killing the men Stealing the land and wealth .... And assassinate who’s not fearing. Chorus: In the name of terror Innocents die It’s a game of horror I don't know why Genocide inside camps and cities Massacres outside and through cities In the name of terror innocents die (x2) Vocalist: Rise the child from God Give the child food Denounce everyone and his livelihood Mothers hugging their babies dying Others running Their lips are crying Chorus: In the name of terror Innocents die It’s a game of horror I don't know why Genocide inside camps and cities Massacres outside and through cities Vocalist: I return to heaven And ask the Lord To stop the violence of century gone Ask to have more justice With occupation Peace without justice Is just an illusion (x2) Chorus: In the name of terror Innocents die It’s a game of horror I don't know why Genocide inside camps and cities Massacres outside and through cities In the name of terror Innocents die (x2) In the name of terror

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
So, I wonder why the Palestenians were partying in the streets on 9/11?
It's easier than to see that the religion of hatred named Islam is behind most of the terrorism in the world...Not forgetting that it has left its believers in the hole of non-development!
Suicide terror bombers and hate videos...
.. and there is the totality of the legacy of the "Palestinian cause"
Mental illness on display.
"And God said to Abraham: Go for yourself [not for Me] and leave your land, the community of your birth, your father's home and head for the land that I will show you. And I will transform you into a great nation and I will bless you, and make you well known and you will be a blessing. And those who bless you, I will bless; and those who curse you, I will curse—and blessing and goodness will come to all the families of the earth, through you."
Genesis 12:1-3
It seems to me that the Pallies have only themselves to blame for their lousy lives, both on a practical and a theological level. If they would change their ways, if they'd act in a reasonable and responsible manner and stop the terrorism and hatred, then they'd soon be the most prosperous and long-lived of all of the Arabs. Anyone with any doubts about this should look at those citizens of Israel who happen to be Arab - they live better and freer lives than any other Arabs, anywhere, with the exception of the numerically miniscule ruling classes of the oil-rich kingdoms.
In the meanwhile, F'em.
