Pop quiz: What's the one thing no Israel-Gaza conflict is complete without?
If you guessed "ironic music videos," you're totally right! (Partial credit for "pointless deaths," "weapons in a UN facility," "that one horrific bombing that each side denies involvement in," and "at least three broken ceasefires").
The video in this latest round of summer violence was provided courtesy of Hamas.
The lyrics are essentially, "Attack... attack... obliterate the Zionists... Zionists are scaredy-cats who hide from rockets" (the fact that Hamas apparently sees hiding from rockets as weakness explains a lot, actually).
The music is disturbingly catchy. Listen to this more than once, and you'll find yourself in the very awkward position of trying to explain to a coworker what it is you were just humming and why.
Israelis couldn't sit by and let Hamas mock them with a catchy "attack Israel" music video. So in a response that I guess might sort of make sense, on some other plane of reality, with the help of enough quality drugs, they decided to create their own "attack Israel" videos.
So here you have it - Hamas' "Arise and Attack" video:
The Lion King version:
The "dancing soldiers" version:
Tel Aviv style:
And re-worded to express angst over a breakup:
There's also a trance version, and some seriously "what the hell is that" versions.
"But Ali," some of you may be saying. "I'm an orthodox Jew. How could I listen to Hamas music videos at a time like this??"
Don't worry, I've got you covered. There's also an a-cappella version for the nine days:
****
Not quite a version of this meme, but I got a kick out of Wile E Coyote, the Hamas version:
****
And an "ironic music videos" retrospective:
Nothing will ever beat "Fall on you Til"
