Rapper Ari Lesser penned a catchy song that outlines what Hamas is, and why he thinks it is foolish to support them.
The rap, titled "Hamas," outlines the way the terrorist organization oppresses fellow Palestinians, kidnaps civilians, and fires thousands of rockets in Israel.
So you want to criticize Israel that’s cool
But if you support Hamas, you’re a fool
Unless you want radical Islamic rule
And stockpiles of rockets at your kids' school
Remember they send their own people out strapped
With suicide bombs blowing up in their lap
You think they seek peace, that’s a bunch of crap
They just want to wipe Israel off the map
The song decries the violence Hamas commonly uses to get what it wants. It also points out the world wide condemnation for such tactics.
They may call themselves freedom fighters
But they’re just like the Taliban and Al-Quaeda
Using lethal force on Arabs, Jews
And anyone else who disagrees with their views
Due to their violence they have been banned
From Jordan, Canada, and Japan
The whole EU, plus the UK
Australia, Egypt, and the USA
It also talks about how Hamas treats those currently living under its authority.
Gazans are living in poverty
But Hamas just went on a building spree
Of underground tunnels, through which they planned
To unleash attacks on Israeli land
Using 80,000 tons of cement
A valuable resource that could have went
To development of new apartments
To help Palestinians who can’t pay the rent
The song's message is clear: It's one thing to criticize Israel but it's another to support Hamas.
So you want to criticize Israel that’s cool
But if you support Hamas, you’re a fool
Unless you want radical Islamic rule
And stockpiles of rockets at your kids school
Remember they send their own people out strapped
With suicide bombs blowing up in their lap
You think they seek peace, that’s a bunch of crap
They just want to wipe Israel off the map
