Palestinian rap group DAM (Da Arab MC's, or “forever“ in Arabic) created this music video about the life of Palestinians in Israel. They're from Lod, a town between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, so they're Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (often called “Israeli Arabs“). They usually rap in Arabic, but they made a Hebrew version of this song with a music video to get their message out to the majority of Israelis who don't speak Arabic. You find out more about them at . I've always wanted a subtitled version, so I broke down and adapted the lyrics from their website, to create this. I think this is one of the most powerful rap songs out there. See to see my extended comments on the video and its chorus. By the way, a lot of people are confused about what DAM stands for, but it really is “forever“ or “eternity“. See the interview at , where you'll find this: TAMER NAFAR: Ill just correct you. Actually, dam is eternity in Arabic and blood in Hebrew. So its eternal blood, like we will stay here forever.
