DAM, "Born Here", Hebrew/Arabic with English subtitles

Back



Palestinian rap group DAM (Da Arab MC's, or "blood" in Arabic and Hebrew) created this music video about the life of Palestinians in Israel. They're from Lod, a town between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, so they're Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (often called "Israeli Arabs"). They usually rap in Arabic, but they made a Hebrew version of this song with a music video to get their message out to the majority of Israelis who don't speak Arabic. You find out more about them at http://www.dampalestine.com/main.html . I've always wanted a subtitled version, so I broke down and adapted the lyrics from their website, to create this. I think this is one of the most powerful rap songs out there. See http://moomtastic.com/born-here.html to see my extended comments on the video and its chorus.

What a dumb video... I suggest those idiotic "Arab-Israelis" fight for their cause in a different way, better than bouncing around blabbing nonsensical whaling victimized crap.

AssassinsExposed has to win some kind of prize for dumbest comment ever. He's accusing DAM of hunting whales?
