Music video: “Freedom for Palestine”

Electronic Intifada – June 1, 2011

A brand-new song and music video entitled “Freedom for Palestine” hit the internet this week, and has already received tens of thousands of hits and an endorsement from Coldplay, one of the top pop-rock bands in the world.

The video features Maxi Jazz and Dave Randall from Faithless, the British electronica band that publicly endorsed the Palestinian-led call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel by canceling a planned gig in Tel Aviv and issuing a public statement explaining their political position. Also lending their talents to the song are musicians from LSK, the Durban Gospel Choir, members of the London Community Gospel Choir, Jamie Catto of 1 Giant Leap, and other international artists. Those in the musical collective are calling themselves “OneWorld.”

The project is being supported by a number of well-known human rights organizations working for justice in Palestine. OneWorld states on their webpage that proceeds will go towards the UK charity War on Want, “for projects in Palestine.”

  1. You must read: Seymour Hirsch’s new article in the New Yorker. The IAEA, and 16 intelligence agencies (not politized) state that IRAN is not threat. They are not going nuclear as the zionists want the world to believe. They are watched by IAEA on satelitte and with cameras viewing every move they make. Hirsch says the US should be concerned about Saudi Arabia. The Sauds are fuious with Obama for not backing Mubarek, and thus they refused to pump more oil to keep the gas prices in the US down. However, Iran is ready and able to ship to the world whatever oil they need. so why isnt the US and other countries working with Iran? Because AIPAC and other zionist organizations have propagandized the US state dept, the Congress and Senate into thinking Iran has the “bomb”, when of course its a deflection from Israel who has thousands of nuclear bombs, and threaten the entire middle east and europe.Norman Finklestein stated that the International Court of Justice has already ruled on Israel and paletine. All of Gaza, All the west bank, all of the golan and all of east jeruselem belong to the Palestinans! There is nothing in that ruling about swops. The UN will vote in November to establish a two state solution, over 100 countries are already signed on. You can bet only the US, UK, and maybe France will veto it. Why, I believe that the US and Obama want to go down in history as the “peacemakers”…of course thats a shill…because the US will make sure Israel comes out of this better than the palestinans. Bibi and the right wing likud apartheid government are playing a dangerous game. I dont see how anyone who knows that history could think a one state solution would be fair or just. The Palestinans have a right to self governance, self determination and return of their refugees. We all know those jews coming from around the world never stepped foot in the Holy Land. 2) how can the Jews refer to Israel as the Jewish state, when christians, arabs and atheists make up that state. What are these people to do convert? So when they claim to be a democracy its a damned lie. They are a theocratic, zionist state for JEWS ONLY. Where in the world does such a nation exist? If there is a one state solution the palestinans will still be considered second or third class citizens. We cannot compare the south slave states in the US to what is the Israelie/Palestinan question. The slaves were not native americans? they didnt come to the US on their own they were forced to come here on Jewish slave ships! the South even today is as racist as it always was. What are the Palestinans to do wait another 100 years for the Jews to recognize them as human beings…come on.
