“Gaza is a graveyard,” sing joyful Israeli youths



Electronic Intifada – by Ali Abunimah

In her latest post, my colleague Rania Khalek makes reference to “a new racist chant mocking the more than two hundred children slaughtered by Israel’s merciless bombing campaign in Gaza: ‘Tomorrow there’s no school in Gaza, they don’t have any children left.’”

This video shows an Israeli mob actually singing in celebration of children’s deaths in the style of a soccer fans’ song: “In Gaza there’s no studying, No children are left there, Olé, olé, olé-olé-olé.”

The mob also incites directly against Ahmed Tibi and Haneen Zoabi, two prominent Palestinian citizens of Israel who are members of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.

The video of the 26 July event in Tel Aviv was published by Israeli journalist Haim Har-Zahav.

The words of the repulsive song have been translated for The Electronic Intifada by Dena Shunra:

Tibi – Ahmed Tibi
I wanted you to know
The next kid to be hurt will be your kid
I hate Tibi
I hate Tibi the terrorist.
Tibi – is dead!
Tibi – is dead!
Tibi – is dead!

Tibi is a terrorist.
Tibi is a terrorist.
Tibi is a terrorist.

They’ll take their papers away.
They’ll take their papers away.
They’ll take their papers away.
Olé, olé, olé-olé-olé
In Gaza there’s no studying
No children are left there,
Olé, olé, olé-olé-olé,

[Three lines, not entirely clear]

Who is getting nervous, I hear?
Zoabi, this here is the Land of Israel
This here is the Land of Israel, Zoabi
This here is the Land of the Jews
I hate you, I do, Zoabi
I hate all the Arabs.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Gaza is a graveyard
Gaza is a graveyard
Gaza is a graveyard
Gaza is a graveyard

  1. And this is how they celibreated when 3000 + americans died in the buildings they blew up on September 11, 2001.

    Remember the Dancing Israelis dancing while filming the collapse of WTC 1 & 2?

    They don’t give a rats arsch that GOY are being stacked up like cord wood. There are a lot of Christian Arabs in Gaza and the west bank. I remember them strafing a church in Bethlehem years ago. News announcer couldn’t even believe it. ISTRALIs HATE GOY. THEY HATE CHRISTIANS.

    Also look what is going on in Donesk, and Lugansk right now? Ethnic cleansing their too in their minds. Only problem is they are killing their fellow Europeans of the same blood for the JEWs leading that government.
