Talib Kweli and M1 (of Dead Prez), with the help of beatmakers Beatnick & K-Salaam, have issued a single, “Checkpoints: Ghetto To Gaza” about the connections between the oppression of African-Americans in the US and that of Palestinians. M1 sings:
A checkpoint, a checkpoint, everywhere a checkpoint
On a Palestinian shopowner:
Little did they know that I could be a supporter.
Gaza echoing to Vietnam:
They train the military to immolate shit that they did in the late 60s.
Sorry OT but some good news on the UEFA 2020 soccer competition.
” Israel’s Euro 2020 soccer bid fails
BDS Movement takes partial credit, although attempt to host part of soccer final seemed to have been doomed by ‘fundamentally’ flawed bid.
“The Irish Times singled out Israel as “fundamentally extremely flawed.” It noted that Jerusalem’s bid failed to include the projected number of available hotel beds and lacked details regarding the venue, Teddy Stadium. ”

Imagine , the nation with all those Nobel prize winners is incapable of presenting a credible bid to run a soccer game.
Jut as well they are not going to be hosting a game.
The next step is to get them kicked out of UEFA.They are not in Europe so should not be even considered.
Raising the keffiyeh and awareness– always a good thing! New/more people will be informed.
I read about the failed bid this morning amigo. I am glad, and I agree with your suggestion for the next step.
Apparently AIPAC is now pushing what this writer thinks is its own poison pill, a bill for US government to apply BDS to American companies supporting BDS of Israel: http://www.lobelog.com/a-poison-pill-for-aipac/?utm_content=bufferba31c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
They getting desperate?
This team P is sure drawing strange bedfellows. Enjoy!
Lyric check: I think “immolate” should be “emulate” in the Vietnam reference.
