Shabbat Beauty - Zionist Hip Hop In Remembrance Of Yaakov Paz. A Momentary Song" [Video]

St. Sgt. Yaakov Paz was murdered on March 11, 1978 while valiantly trying to stop the hijacking of a full bus by PLO terrorists. He had approached the bus alone in the early stages of the hijacking in an attempt to stop what would become the Coastal Road Massacre:

On the morning of March 11, 1978, Dalal Mughrabi and her Fedayeen unit of eleven members (including one other woman) landed by Zodiac boats on a beach near Maagan Michael north of Tel Aviv from Lebanon. They... hijacked a loaded bus on the Coastal Highway... An Israeli army unit, headed by Ehud Barak... pursued the bus until it was finally stopped near Herzliya. A long shooting battle between the Palestinians and the soldiers ensued. The Palestinians started shooting the passengers... [and eventually] blew up the bus.. Thirty five civilians... were killed. Seventy-one civilians were wounded

The Palestinians have honored the Mughrabi by naming a Hebron girls school, several summer camps, and police and military courses after her. Israelis are different, of course - they choose to honor the victims of cowardly atrocities instead of their perpetrators. The members of TACT (Subliminal's stable of hip hop artists and singers) pieced together a song of remembrance and memorial from the various letters and poems found in Paz's possession after his death. The result is "A Momentary Song":

It's not just that Israelis fight differently than the Palestinians. It's also that they mourn differently (via: Ari's Blog)
