I used to think that there was nothing worse than white Americans doing black rap. i guess I was wrong. Dibs seeking to have a "normal "culture are more gauche than anyone else. Viva hip-hop violins!!!!!!
2. Jewish-Arab rap & hip hop?

Lord, as if the Middle East wasn't screwed up enough to begin with. On second thought, perhaps it be wiser to look on it as America's revenge for all the countless billions of dollars in aid you Israelis insisted on & have gotten over the years.
3. Rappers, poets that can't sing!

You are guys blessed keep going ! If each Palestinian and each israeli would think the way you do we would be in Heaven now ! Always support peace, it will lead us to somewhere and one step here and one there we will find that we overcame our huge problem... the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not about land or water or jerusalem or the refugees, they are still major issues but can be solved in a way that satisfies both sides.. The problem is that both sides since forever had mental issues that prevented them of achieving anything... So go ahead I support you !!!

Only a Jew basher would make an illogical link between rap music and US aid to Israel in order to villify Israel. Well, listen up, dope. The US does not shower countries - including Israel - with its largesse because the country asked for it. The US does what it does with the distinctly premeditated intent of taking advantage of a situation to its own benefit. In the case of Israel, this country has been an asset to the US in the Middle East the past 60 years. The US extends its aid package to no less than 56 states and Muslim theocracies throughout the world, including 2.6 billion to Egypt and umpteen millions to Jordan and the palestinian authority muslim terrorists. Why does Israel receive loans, which it pays back to the US? Because Israel invests almost a fifth of its national output on education, just ahead of Singapore, Japan, France, Germany and the United States. Israel's seven universities enjoy top ranking and Israelis with higher education account for approximately 25% of the population. Major firms like National Semiconductor, IBM, Intel, DEC, Motorola and Microsoft, have set up research here. Now, Cameron, what do you do for a living, other than troll Israeli websites?
