"Stab the Zionist": Palestinian Songs Celebrate Killing Jews


(Fox News) Paul Alster - Songs about stabbing Jews to death - including one by the winner of the Palestinian equivalent of "American Idol" - are all the rage on West Bank airwaves, a year after the twisted hit parade featured calls for running down Israelis with cars. The youth of the Palestinian territories are being bombarded with tunes and lyrics about murder and martyrdom on government-controlled radio. "We're going down from every house with cleavers and knives," goes the refrain in "I'm Coming Towards You, My Enemy." YouTube videos that accompany the songs feature images of Palestinian terrorists stabbing Jews, and then being "martyred" by Israeli forces, or cartoon animations glorifying the knife as a symbol of resistance. Other big current hits sweeping the Palestinian charts include "Continue the Intifada," and "Stab the Zionist and Say God is Great." Nan Jacques Zilberdik of Palestinian Media Watch said: "We see the leadership trying to fuel the rage and enflame the Palestinian street by all the time repeating the libel that Israel is faking the attacks. They say that all the terrorists are really just innocent Palestinian victims who were walking by Israeli soldiers on the way to school or on the way to the mosque, then Israel shoots at them and plants knives at the scene."
