Anti-Semitism: Norwegian rap band with modern version of the blood libel

"I guess some Americans just don't remember...
There’s a slave graveyard under the World Trade Center!"

Of course they obsessed with Israel and America ("I guess some Americans just don't remember...
There’s a slave graveyard under the World Trade Center!" - "some Americans" but "all Jews" - when they refer to Israelis one assumes they mean Jews and not Israeli Arabs)

Norwegian rap band with a lefty twist, Gatas Parlament, must have a most peculiar muse inspiring their poetic and peace loving music.  Here is a sample of their attitudes towards Jews (euphemistically called Israelis….)

All of us are antiracist, don’t accuse us for being antisemmetic, yeah
Grenade rain down over the roofs of Gaza.
Hits hospitals, hits kindergarden kids, hits everywhere.
Of course we’re talking about an apartheid state.
They build a wall between themselves and those who should’nt have citizenship.
For if you call it blood-palestine then no rules apply and believe that it gives
a new macabre meaning to the word blood orange
If it’s grown in stolen land and harvested from a dead body.
Not in my name, not for my money.
It’s not enough to stand around and cry anymore.
So we must attack fundamentalists and show Israel
Cause they don’t care about resolutions anyway.
Just a small piece of a much bigger picture.
Like when we boicotted when I was much younger.
The responsibility lies with us all so we want everyone
with us everyone with concience, Boycott Israel!

Lovely! I suppose we just have to take their word for their claim to be anti-racists?"

And this one about Israel and America:

Bambaataa told us knowledge was the fifth element,
Truth behind the lies is what the music represents,
So how the fuck you gonna have a peace settlement? (How?)
When people want a piece of your land to build settlements,
There’s all different kinda terrorism you can perpetrate
Every dead body causes karma to circulate,
There’s suicide bombin' buildings, full of civilians,
Or cutting off water to cities full of children,
You can't try to justify collective punishment, (Why?)
Our country never finds peace with bodies buried under it,
I guess some Americans just don't remember...
There’s a slave graveyard under the World Trade Center!
Stop the criticism of Iranian nuclear fission,
Until mutual nuclear disarmaments’ the mission,
This ain't about religion, Muslim, Jew or Christian,
It's about people making money off of that division!
