Sing Along With the Intifada: 'We Con the World'

In the week since Israel tried to exercise its right to self-protection and ended up as the object of near-global scorn we have noticed a gigantic coverage void from the showbiz news outlets like MSNBC and Comedy Central. Thankfully we have Latma TV – known to some as the satirical YouTube-like channel in Israel.

This brilliant parody piece, from Latma editor Caroline Glick is worth sharing with those who just don’t seem to be able to wrap their heads around the facts of this story. And if anyone has email addys for K. Olbermann and R. Maddow, please forward the link their way, it has already been sent to whitehouse.gov.

Let’s make this puppy go viral!

Lyrics after the jump:

There comes a time

When we need to make a show

For the world, the Web and CNN

There’s no people dying,

so the best that we can do

Is create the greatest bluff of all

We must go on pretending day by day

That in Gaza, there’s crisis, hunger and plague

Coz the billion bucks in aid won’t buy their basic needs

Like some cheese and missiles for the kids

We’ll make the world

Abandon reason

We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas

Is Momma Theresa

We are peaceful travelers

With guns and our own knives

The truth will never find its way to your TV

Ooooh, we’ll stab them at heart

They are soldiers, no one cares

We are small, and we took some pictures with doves

As Allah showed us, for facts there’s no demand

So we will always gain the upper hand

We’ll make the world

Abandon reason

We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas

Is Momma Theresa

We are peaceful travelers

we’re waving our own knives

The truth will never find its way to your TV

If Islam and terror brighten up your mood

But you worry that it may not look so good

Well well well well don’t you realize

You just gotta call yourself

An activist for peace and human aid

We’ll make the world

Abandon reason

We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas

Is Momma Theresa

We are peaceful travelers

We’re waving our own knives

The truth will never find its way to your TV

We con the world

We con the people

We’ll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper

We are peaceful travelers

We’re waving our own knives

The truth will never find its way to your TV

We con the world (Bruce: we con the world…)

We con the people (Bruce: we con the people…)

We’ll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper

We are peaceful travelers

We’re waving our own knives

The truth will never find its way to your TV

The truth will never find its way to your TV
