“On The Good Side of Government (Sonnet 2199) How to be on the good side of government, this is a manual for the monkeys - never question, never reason, never doubt, be a good little patriot, blind to atrocity. Foster no conviction on human rights, memorize the moral parameters set by the state, and remember, it's not about morality or ethics, it's about licking the boots of office idiots. Use music and movies as propaganda machine, for the government's favorite god 'n religion, never make art about correcting social ill, but about maintaining fanatical superstition. However, well aware of all the dangers, if you still dare to stand as human - I salute you, o brave beacon of life, there is hope yet for human civilization!”

“The terrorists you call pilgrims, did not immigrate, they invaded, pillaged and plundered a continent, they even plagiarized its name into a symbol of atrocity and violation, just like the nazis heisted a holy symbol from the east, and turned the sacred Swastika into the global icon of hate.”

“Earth Belongs to The Natives (Sonnet 2401) We cannot abolish systemic persecution without dismantling systemic privilege. You cannot wipe the slate clean, but you can take the responsibility and stand to heal. Colonizers are the second class citizens, every land first belongs to the indigenous. Landback is the mother of all movements, it contains the plight of all First Humans. Women are indigenous to their own body, Palestinians are indigenous to palestine; uncultured crowns and criminal uncles have no jurisdiction over our Earthright. Earth belongs to the Natives, settlers are welcome, but as participant, not head of state. Somos indígenas, somos indomables - you can make us houseless, but never homeless.”

“The Uncultured Linguist (Sonnet) The way apes understand what's cultured, I'm not that sort of cultured - I'm humanly cultured - which means, I live as cure for tribalism, not coddle; I abolish chains, not worship them, I do not entertain stereotypes - I question and denounce prejudice, both external and internal. MAGA, Zionism, Hindutva, Prima gli Italiani, Khalistan, Islamism, Türkiye Yüzyılı, these are proof, we come from the monkeys; while humans take a snooze, monkeys roam free. Dogma is barrier to understanding, blind faith is obstacle to holiness. Assumption is obstacle to communication, stereotypes are obstacle to awareness.”

“Over the sound of gritty break-beats and stirring string samples, The Shadow and Subliminal defended cops and lonized army service, upending the anti-authority sensibility that defines traditional rap culture. When the two self-styled Zionist rappers performed during the bloodiest days of the in-tifada, their audiences often erupted with chants of "Death to Arabs!" In June, following the abduction of the three Israeli teens, Subliminal took to Facebook to lash out at a Palestinian-Israeli member of the Knesset, Haneen Zoabi, who had objected to her interviewer's characterization of the kidnappers as terrorists. "I'm not ashamed to say that I hope she'll be run down [in an auto accident] and die, or slip in the bath and rip her head off, or eat a rotten egg and die of food poisoning, or anything.”

“Throughout the 51 Day War, The Shadow organized alongside Michael Ben-Ari, a ringleader of some of the settlement movement's most extreme elements. Ben-Ari was a former lieutenant of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the patron saint of Israel's ul-tra-nationalist right who immigrated from Brooklyn to Israel in 1971 to organize militant cells among fanatical Jewish youth. Though he was banned from the Knesset, where he served during the mid-1980s, for his open calls for violence, and his Kach party was outlawed, Kahane's influence has lived on in the discriminatory laws introduced by mainstream parties and through acolytes like Ben-Ari, who held a seat in the Knesset from 2009 to 2013. While in the Knesset, Ben-Ari turned his parliamentary field offices into organizing hubs for the anti-Af-rican movement, which organized vigilante patrols that harassed and incited violence against the sixty thousand non-Jewish African refugees living in Israel. Through Lehava, a radical hate group dedicated to preventing romantic relationships between Jews and Arabs, Ben-Ari and fellow Kahanists held rallies in mixed Jewish-Arab cities across Israel to spread held rallies in mixed Jewish-Arab cities across Israel to spread fear and hatred of supposedly predatory Arab males. In June, Lehava had helped organize the "Death to Arabs" rallies in Jerusalem that inspired the killing of Muhammad Abu Khdeir.”

“A week later, a mob of assorted right-wing nationalists assaulted an anti-war rally in Haifa, bombarding the gathering of Palestinians and leftists with a hailstorm of stones while police stood by and watched. After burning a Palestinian flag while chanting "Death to Arabs," a group of right-wing activists went looking for Arabs to assault. They found Suhail Assad, the deputy mayor of the city, beating him and his son so severely that they had to be hospitalized. When police passed by, the assailants simply walked away, and the police made no arrests.”
