This is among the best things you have done. For those who may not be aware, this is from a Tom Paxton song "Lyndon Johnson Told the Nation". I remember because I used to sing it back then.
I was just thinking someone should write an updated version of this song. The fact that the original was about Vietnam just goes to show how nothing really has changed...
If it wasn't for the dems leaning to the right and leaning away from leftist populism, like Berines, we might have had a chance. Only 21% of Americans voted for Trump, 20% for Kamala, they missed out on 15 million votes and the other half of the population because they can't change.
I keep listening for the “LETS GO!” while thinking of a three and a half million dollar Merkava destroyed by a two hundred dollar improvised weapon lmao
This is awesome, love to see you experiment with editing and change it up a bit, love it. And as always, the song is great, a nice parody, did you write the lyrics yourself?
Fantastic parody of the original, updated for today's horrific humanitarian crisis disguised as a just war. I appreciate the increasingly blatant racism in Joe's chorus with each iteration. Brilliant work! Could I use your lyrics and learn this one myself based off your cover?
I thought I could maybe make some minor suggestions to the lyrics to clean up the flow a bit; good song! I got an email from Kamala, It said, "Vote for me; we'll end the drama" "We've got a lethal fighting force to hail, Though it may seem strange to you, I'm running to the right, it's true, So we are sending more to Israel." Joseph Biden told the nation, Have no fear of escalation I am trying, Israel, to please. Though it's peace that we implore, We're sending *sev'ral* billions more, To bring those starving children to their knees. He says peace is on the way now, As the bombs fall day by day now, And the world it watches in despair. With each promise of a ceasefire, We see hopes burn in the fire, While the death tolls climb beyond compare. And Joseph Biden told the nation, Have no fear of escalation I am trying, Israel, to please. Though it's peace that we implore, We're sending *sev'ral* billions more, To bring those helpless people to their knees. They told us that with force we'd win, But now the war just pulls us in, Each step through Gaza's ruins costs us more. A fighter rushes through the smoke, *He* plants the bomb, and makes the stroke, And soon the mighty tank's a flaming score. (Let's go!) Joseph Biden told the nation, Have no fear of escalation I am trying, Israel, to please. Though it's peace that we implore, We're sending *sev'ral* billions more, To bring those "human animals" to their knees.

We comb the hills for signs of life, But this just feels like endless strife, As Beirut crumbles under endless war. And Joe Biden told the nation, Have no fear of escalation I am trying, Israel, to please. Though it's peace that we implore, We're sending *sev'ral* billions more, To bring those goddamn natives to their knees.

Really great piec comrade. Keep the good work up. ps. You and your music -- as many, many other sons -- were a big part of my political journey. And thanks to you, and the great piles of Theory, i ended up here and i wanted to thank you for this ^^
I suggest you look into Chase Oliver (The Libertarian Party candidate), who recognizes Israel's offensive as a genocide and publicly supports ending American military aid to Israel
I would like to point out, the popular vote was differentiated by less then 3 million votes. The enabling of genocide alone would have doomed the neoliberal candidate all else being equal. No more compromise with the right, either progressivism or left of it, not one step back.
Hey Jack: Thought I’d recommend “Oy, Ir Narishe Tsionistn” (Oh, You Foolish Little Zionists), a Yiddish Anti-Zionist song. The most prominent version online has 3 verses, 1 in Yiddish, in English, and in Russian. It focuses on the struggle of workers and mocks Zionists as rich, out of touch scabs. It perfectly represents the views of the Jewish Labor Bund, a Jewish Socialist group that rejected both Zionism and Assimilation during its existence in the Russian Empire and Interwar Poland. (One branch still exists in Melbourne Australia.) I think it would be perfect today, as Zionism continually undermines the current issues around the rights of Jews and Antisemitism, is best described as today’s “Socialism of Fools”.
Just found out: The group who produced it is Daniel Korolenko and the Painted Bird, a band which has a number of works you should consider adapting, many in Yiddish. Their work would be a good fit for you.
@user-bl7em8sx6o From the Wikipedia Page entitled Zionism: "Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people through the colonization of Palestine, an area roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Judaism, and of central importance in Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible." So "Zionist" is not some random slang term but an adjective describing people supporting a Jewish version of Lebensraum, something fairly objectionable both by my humble opinion and by international law.
They're red triangles, used by more militant Palestine supporters because resistance combat footage often uses them to indicate which part of the screen to focus on.
Israel controls the Senate -J. William Fulbright,(D-AR),Head of the Senate Foreign relations committee,on "Face the Nation" in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War.
@@skinnyjasper3097 It is true from a certain perspective though I would describe at as a mutual thing. Israel is the US outpost in a Middle East hostile to the US while AIPAC greases Congress to get more favorable terms in this deal which includes a lot of leeway towards the Israeli State. The mechanisms of the US and Israel are intertwined in one imperialist system.
