Damn! Ooops. DAM

Did you know that there's to be a London United Against Racism festival sponsored by the London mayor's office?

The daylong event at Finsbury Park July 15 is being billed as family-friendly. It will feature music and performances from cultures from around the world that have influenced London life, Mayor Ken Livingstone said Wednesday in a news release.

Among acts scheduled to perform are DAM (*), a Palestine rap band;


(*) DAM is a clip that even manages to sneak in a Holocaust theme picture and this DAM clip, sponsored by Shatil, has an Arab woman to spice up the rap.

Of course, there probably will NOT be any Jewish performances or music since that particular mayor doesn't care for Jews and doesn't want them influencing his life...

Speaking of racism...

Just watched the clip - well, as much as I could stand (about half)...

It's not only that, as you say, they use "a" Holocaust theme picture - in fact, they use many, MANY pictures from the Holocaust, juxtaposed with pictures of poor peaceful Pals (mostly children) suffering at the hands of the big bad Nazi Israeli soldiers...

And the pics of Pal terrorists with Jews includes, for instance, Arafat holding hands with one of the Naturi Karta...

To do the song in English, Hebrew & Arabic is very clever - the words are simple and straightforward... it's the pictures which give the real message.

It's not even subtle. Ken Livingston and all those who hate Israel and the Jews will LOVE it.
