Turns out, he’s exactly as despicable as you’d expect:
The former laundryman who sings a kind of Egyptian-folk rap has been widely panned by critics, but developed a huge following after the 2003 release of “I Hate Israel” and the anti-American and anti-Saddam Hussein “Hitting Iraq.”
Following a similar formula, “For Only Two Soldiers” seems destined for success. In it, he exhorts “Oh Arab men, wake up.” “One thousand times I warned of Israel, they thought I was kidding,” the song opens. “The truth is now clear. Because of two soldiers, they make a big fuss.”
Two soldiers and thousands of rockets, but that’s not really what bothers us. Israel is not retaliating – they’re fighting a war in every way imposed on it by Hezbollah. We don’t want to bore you with this point, but again – retaliations are “conducted,” but wars are “fought”. Once a war begins, Israel is under no obligation to play with a handicap just because the other side was particularly stupid to antagonize it.
