Hatikvah (Israel) Parody
June 13, 2010
First of all: The video does NOT necessarily reflect my opinions on Israel and/or the conflicts in the Middle East. As in ALL my other anthem videos, they reflect common stereotypes about the nation, and are supposed to be sung by a national from the country that is parodied. Since the stereotype is that Israel is jingoistic, the Israeli personification will salute the army.
Because of the controversial nature of the conflict and the fact that many people does not have rational opinions about it, but merely hate one of the sides for different reasons, comments for this video will be moderated for some time. I will however approve of all messages that are not aggressive or with unnecessary use of profanities. I will also probably block comments that are made by people who obviously did not read the video description. Why would anyone post before they read anyway?

Don’t miss my other anthems! So far, the parodies for the UK, Canada, Germany, Norway, France, the US, Russia, Italy, Sweden, China, Japan and Israel has been released.
Hatikvah (Hebrew: הַתִּקְוָה, lit. The Hope) is the national anthem of Israel. The anthem was written by Naphtali Herz Imber, a secular Galician Jew from Zolochiv, who moved to the Land of Israel in the early 1880s.
When the State of Israel was established in 1948, Hatikvah was unofficially proclaimed the national anthem. However, it did not officially become the national anthem until November 2004, when it was sanctioned by the Knesset in an amendment to the Flag and Coat-of-Arms Law.
I mean no offense to the countries parodied. In fact, most of these countries are my favorites, and I wish them all my best. I have nothing against the Hebrew people or Jews in general; in fact, I admire them and their history. Israel is admittedly not on any of my top lists of nations I like, but they are indisputably the most democratic and financially functioning nation in the region and deserve credit for that.
Regrettably, a typo snuck its way into the movie, but it’s too late to do anything about it now, and I think we can all live with it.

I do not promise anything, but if you want me to make a parody of YOUR national anthem, your country could be next, given that it is a nation of some international or historical significance. Requests should be made as comments to my videos; i check my PM inbox less often!

A delightful short film about life through a child’s eyes.
I was watching a video made by a 12-year old girl called – Abortion? I love you. Life is beautiful. pregnant. My speech to President Obama. She made some really amazingly profound statements, especially in a society that stopped thinking. Real life is often not like the spoofs and vlogging. We are not as innocent as the toddlers of Charlie bit my finger. All too often the love story and lovely words like Im yours and I love you turn into I am broken and I am lost. Girlfriend plus Boyfriend do not equal love forever. A real battle ensues with battle lines: where does choice end and murder begin? Can I be pro-choice and pro-life? When does love, real love, conquer all our selfishness and hate? This short film was made for International Children’s Day. A call to love and protect those precious ones who cannot defend themselves. Many of the children starring in this short film were once unwanted, abandoned, orphans… but not anymore! the truth is all are loved, wanted, beautiful!

Rap Lyrics:
We’re the oreomen, we’re the best on the block
Right now we be rocking this song Tic Tok
We pimps, we fly we’re like perfect guys
Hanging out with us is like winning the lottery (or grand) prize
We might not look, at, all, like your man Mick Jagger
We’re so much, cooler and better, even have our own swagger
Ya’ll know us, we aint no strangers
When you see us on the streets, you’ll be like “what’s up nig-black men”
Mrs Kesha, if you be looking for your daughter
We prolly in my room, doing “you know what” to each other
Many people doubt our skills, saying there’s no way you can
We’re like Obama and Bob the Builder, you best believe we can.
Cuz we teens, and we’re walking the walls
And ya’lls just jealous, cuz we make you calls
But when we’re 18 we’ll be the boss men of the town
Not even the big bad wolf is gonna blow us down
