Israel vs Palestine Featured On Rap News
RAP NEWS 24: ISRAEL
& PALESTINE [S02:E04].
Decades of
failed peace talks have led
nowhere; but do not lose hope just yet.
Join Robert Foster as he attempts to host the first ever Middle East
Peace Raps, using rhyme and reason to bring together Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, and a representative of
Hamas. We investigate the key arguments, counter-arguments and
ad-hominems from both sides. But the picture would not be
complete without a thorough discussion of "America's last taboo",
as Edward Said once referred to it: the USA's role as Israel's best
(and only) buddy in the world (Ok, together with Australia).
Featuring special cameos from prominent American Jewish
scholar, Dr. Norman Finkelstein, and Palestinian rap legends,
DAM, this is an episode for the ages. Join us as we bravely (or
perhaps stupidly) take on one of the most bitter, divisive and
controversial conflicts of our times: Israel & Palestine.
Written & created by Giordano Nanni & Hugo Farrant in a
suburban backyard home studio in Melbourne, Australia, on
Wurundjeri Land.
