Palestine
Song lyrics
1 00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:06,979 Meanwhile, back at their ranch....... The Romans had changed the name of the Jewish
2 00:00:06,979 --> 00:00:13,280 country to Palestine, derived from the Greek word Paelistina
3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,480 which comes from the Hebrew word Pelesh .......the Philistines....
4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,540 David - Goliath, remember those guys?
5 00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:27,240 And why did the Romans do this?
6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,720 'Cos them Jews had been no walkover.
7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,160 So, to extinguish any claim to the Promised Land.
8 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:40,260 They wiped the Jewish name off the face of the Middle East map.
9 00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:41,280 Yessir.
10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,780 It was never a country again. Then came a bunch of emperors, queens, kings,
11 00:00:48,789 --> 00:00:53,030 sultans and caliphs Conquered in the name of the new Arab Muslim
12 00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:59,249 religion (in the year 636) Then, by the Christian Crusaders
13 00:00:59,249 --> 00:01:05,189 Who in turn were defeated by Muslim Kurd, Saladin.
14 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:11,369 After that, 400 putrifyin' years of Muslim Ottoman Turks
15 00:01:11,369 --> 00:01:15,280 A kinda swamp.... Which is I figure why people left
16 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,950 And that's the way it was 'Til, the First World War
17 00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:23,440 The Turks wrongsided with the Germans And came off losers....
18 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,520 [Gunshots]
19 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520 "taşak"
20 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,740 Them Philistines I told you about was already
21 00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:35,520 900 years extinct when the Romans renamed
22 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,140 the Land of the Jews, Palestine.
23 00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:42,820 And do you know what Philistines really means?
24 00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:48,020 It means "dividers", "penetrators" or "invaders"
25 00:01:48,029 --> 00:01:50,610 Now there's a thought....
26 00:01:50,619 --> 00:01:58,649 And where did they come from, these invaders? Well, they weren't A-rabs, that's for sure.
27 00:01:58,649 --> 00:02:04,049 They was Confederales. A confederation of sea peoples from Crete,
28 00:02:04,049 --> 00:02:06,960 the Aegean Islands and Asia Minor
29 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,060 Wherever that is....
30 00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:16,720 So tell me..... Who is a Palestinian?
31 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Tell me who wrote their history
32 00:02:29,860 --> 00:02:37,740 I'm asking you, just who is a Palestinian
33 00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:48,200 What justifies this bloody legacy
34 00:02:48,200 --> 00:03:03,320 On May 31, 1956 Ahmed Shukeiry, later the chairman of the PLO, said to the UN Security Council: "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria"
35 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Is that so?
36 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,980 In 1977, Zahir Muhsein, PLO Executive Council Member, said
37 00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:28,100 "The Palestinian people, does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian State is only a means for continuing our Jihad against the state of Israel for our Arab Unity.
38 00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:34,800 In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese
39 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:42,200 Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people
40 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:49,920 since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism
41 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,300 Whoaa there!
42 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:57,460 In 1976, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, said to PLO Leader, Yasser Arafat, "Never forget this one point, there is no such thing as a Palestinian people. There is no Palestinian entity. There is only Syria" Thanks for setting the record straight!
