Just saw this documentary last night - very well done! As an American Jew I hope that Palestinian youth continue to create art through music instead of blowing themselves up. I think if more Israeli's took the time to understand the message these kids are putting out there, there might be a real chance at peace in the Holy Land. Open your eyes, open your mind and open your heart.
I think it's really great that in the face of oppression and adversity these young people are finding a way to express their views. Music breaks barriers. Keep it up. You're not forgotten. Take care.
I saw THIS LAST NIGHT ON SUNDANCE CHANNEL!! IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND INTERESTING AND IT REALLY OPENED MY EYES MORE TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHEN IT COMES TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION MY AGE N SUCH....GREAT DOCUMENTARY TO WATCH IN FULL!
Btw , ya banat , very good songs you make! Mashallah 3aleke. Very good song you did with Khalifa E - I've been listening too your songs since I was a little kid! I'm 18 now hehehehe ..
History has demonstrated non-violent resistence works better than violence. These kids are a symbol of hope for the Palastinian people, The new generation is comming.
I am very impressed Jackie..Man, I wish I could collaborate with you and stuff...did you see who what won the Academy Award for short film? West Bank story....how I yearn to make the next one!
yes, because I know people how invited the terms, who invited the whole thing we call HipHop. And they deserve to be respected, because they made the basic of what we live and love. If I see "slingshot HipHop", I think about you show us how you live HipHop, if you just show us the music, then it's more about rap. HipHop is a style of express your impressions, and that you'll do something diffrent than the originators is clear, that's how it's supposed to be, just that i'd call this Slingshot Rap
Well, I haven't seen this film, unfortunately, so I can't vouch for it, but I do know that these artists, and the Palestinian Hip Hip culture, do participate in other aspects of hip hop: graffiti, break dancing, etc.
I hope they are still alive after the horrific bombings of Gaza. Support Palestine, Boikot Israel Israel has lost all respect, and is hated by the entire world now. Respect to Palestine from Norway
Salam Walykom, I went to your slingshot thing and it waws awesome! i was the little boy who asked if this was going to be your career and you called me cute... lol =/ well please keep in contact
I can't believe that now that we even have RUclips that most Americans still have no clue as to what goes on in Palestine. All we get to hear is that another Israeli cafe was bombed - Nothing about the tanks plowing over Palestinian homes, or people getting shot to bits on the beach at Gaza. One can only hope these artists voices get louder and the rest of my country not look upon them with discriminating eyes.

ThePunkWolf, just out of curiosity, as a religion - hater/atheist, do u think Palestine/Israel is a good example of religious conflicts? Cause I do... I know that some has blamed social problems, rather than religious, so...
But just to repeat, I like what you're doing, big things, real things, keep on, you got my love and I'll backup you if I can, it's more about to tell you things about names you might not know but should know, it's more an advise than a critique, because I like what you do, if I wouldn't like it I'd just ignore it, but realy: live from switzerland, r8 to you out there!!
If you feelin this than youll love our music video on Palestine!!! Its a controversial track and its heart warming... It'll touch you inside!!! FREE PALESTINE!!! A.S.B(Arab Stick-up Boyz)
I agree, pursue this arab hiphop, there is great potential for it. As far as your message goes, you need to involve the english-hebrew languages, those are the people you want listening. It is interesting that the best of rap-hip hop-whatever, nearly always comes from desparation.. you guys definately have the secret recipe. A personal request though, I want to see a little island flavor. reggae-ton,roots, dancehall, behind the arabic language/sound- oh yeh, that luniz was tight
Wow, this documentary made me realize how pro Israel the media is here in the US. I don't understand how our government can support Israel and it's actions. It's disgusting. Great movie with great rappers.
The fact that Palestinians are fighting among themselves is not the cause of the many problems in Palestine, but it is a consquence of all the problems the Israeli goverment has created in the first place. So Israel is most definitely obliged to make allowances and concessions since they are the one who created this problem.
Damn.. that Palestinian hip hop movement they got goin on is dope.. anyone know how to get in contact with these people? Much respect to the people in the game.. keep it as nonviolent as possible ya kno.. that arabic singing they got in the background is too ill
They may be documented, but that's not what we're fed on TV. Simply put, anything on the news about the Israeli/Pal conflict depicts Israeli civilians being victimized in some way. This is why I think people here are only anywhere from "okay" to "don't know/care" with Israels actions.
I’ve been studying Gaza every single day for hours, watching live photos and tons of photos as well. Thought I’d seen a lot - then realized after 30 minutes I never left Gaza - West Bank for 1 1/2 hours….it was a whole different awakening to their daily lives. The random shootings, almost nightly bombings on residential homes….merciless open air prison. Can’t ever leave - these young people.
Armed MC, an Australian Rapper has a few tracks about Palestine. He is a bit more hardcore though and has clips on RUclips. People TODAY all around the World must Protest against what the Zionist Army did to the 300 Palestinaians that got murdered by the Zionist Army. I will be with Armed MC at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney protesting, what will you be doing? Palestinians have had it too hard for too long.
"Of the total 418000 quarter acres acquired by Jews in Palestine between 1878 and 1914 58 % were sold by non-Palestinian absentee landlords and 36 % were sold by Palestinian absentee landlords for a total of 94 %" Palestinian American historian Rashid Khalidi Even the name "Palestine" has never been used by Arabs to refer to a specific home town with specific borders because it's just a Greco-Roman name that the Romans had chosen to give to the land of Israel and Judah
The Hebrew people are also part African because of Shem. So, its like gangs in another sense. Both sides are related through Abraham, but they differ in politics and religion.
I just saw this film, 3+ months into the genocide of gaza in my little city . It was so powerful to actually “be” inside of Gaza and the West Bank - worlds that Palestinianians cannot even go back and forth. Its beyond harsh - the peoples history behind what I am seeing now. I so get why there was a terrorist attack. I don’t believe in violence - and the open air prison and all that comes ith it ((I cannot see my typing)….and people wonder why they broke out of prison.. I really hope their is hope for Palesinians, and Arabs in this lousy prejudiced Israeli State - and a end to this absurd, senseless occupations. I just heard Albert Einstein was asked to be the first prime minister - offered so much money, weapons - and he said now way - I will never be part of a state that is built on the backs of others - I’ll have nothing to do with it. Because he was - inteliigent.
im a filipino...and i do love palestinians...i also wish that d war would b over and hopefully bloody killing would vanish in palestine...and i wud love to visit palestine someday...
thats true i think they should dress differently since they r not promoting ((the american hip hop)) like an army fatigue as u said or probably the middle eastern custom...
@DimitrisIkarian I don't know what quran your reading; the quran does not say to spread religion with the sword The original text does not say that. Maybe that's a problem with translation. Or people just want to perceive it that way. Yet i do agree with you on the fact that palestine should be free. I wish the world would agree on that too.
ANSWER:Theodore Herzl(i presume u know him)sought to create a jewish homeland in PALESTINE.(He also considered argentina and uganda) If Herzl would even consider a south american country,I think it's a fair question to ask why not Germany? QUESTION(again):Do you believe in the 7day creation... or not?
There wasn't enough rap, but what I heard was pretty basic. No one seems to have a real lyrical gift, like a Saul Williams or M. Mathers, but given what a tough place Gaza and the region is, I'd bet someone will emerge with a real voice of truth and a flare to deliver it. Arabic music sounds real nice, if they keep mixing tracks with that sound, and maybe if it had at least a little English to broaden the audience, there could be a hit.

jimmy...i suggest you re-read. you do not mention the word country until after i joined the conversation. Whilst re-reading count how many times you refused to answer ONE simple yes or no question. That makes having an adult conversation impossible since it feels like I'm communicating with a child. Have a good weekend.
maaax...how can you pick and choose what is parable from what is fact?? What is the decription of Noahs arc? Or the story of Job? Tower of Babel? Sodom and Gommorah? Moses parting the red sea? What is parable and what is fact and WHO decides?
Thank you.(i presume that's a no!) If we are agreed that scientific evidence disproves the creation story... ...at what point does myth and legend become absolute fact.The 'promised land' is a myth.A homeland for the jews is a must.Please read my previous and explain why Germany is not a fairer location than Palestine.
so glad this movie was made. who knew hip hop could speak so loudly. beats today's american hip hip for sure.
Glad to have them at the Urbana-Champaign IMC - It was a great proformance!!!
Thanks for coming!

You don't understand why people would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.

I may or may not agree with your response but I will respect your opinion. PEACE

give them a break - if you watched the film you know its the very beginnings of hip/hop rap expression in Gaza. Shessh
The question in it's most base form...
Did God make the world in seven days as described in the book of genesis?
Who said in Palestine doesn't have hip hop scene?
