The IDF, a gang of brutish, racist, trigger happy European interlopers bent on committing genocide as often as they can. Well, if that’s what you think, I’m not going to argue with you, at least not in this post. What I will do is direct your attention to the fascinating recording above. It shows two IDF soldiers, one Druze and one Bedouin, trading verses of Zajal, semi-improvised Arabic poetry. I found it on Nizo’s blog , where you can find a translation of a fragment of what’s being recited, via a link from Lisa Goldman on Facebook.
