New music video: Hussein's Jerusalem
A popular Israeli singer has blasted President Hussein Obama in a new song in which he accuses the President and Israel's 'leaders' of selling out Jerusalem.Let's go to the videotape.
Here's a summary of the words:
The title, in its Hebrew version, clearly references Naomi Shemer's classic "Jerusalem of Gold", with “Hussein” referring to Obama's middle name.
The song begins with the very familiar verse from Isaiah, “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad in her, all you who love her...” but the joy turns to anxiety when Benayoun adds: “...because the prime minister and all his friends apparently gave it up a long time ago.”
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad in her, as long it is possible,” he adds, “because it has been sold out behind our backs. They are only putting on an act for show.”
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad in her, as long it is possible, because Hussein from America wants it, and he is determined and cruel.”
The song ends with Psalms 137: “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you; if I do not place Jerusalem at the top of my joy.”Indeed....
