A particularly charming political anthem from Hamas

Here's a political anthem I missed - Hamas, Hamas, Hamas the apple of my eye.

You can listen to it and even watch the video here. But I'll give you the lyrics so you can sing along, particularly to the catchy chorus "in black bags, chunks of flesh of Jews"

    They destroyed the Merkava [tank]

    The apple of my eye - Hamas (repeated eight times)

    A bombing every minute

    Soldiers are afraid

    A bombing every minute

    Soldiers are afraid

    In black bags

    Chunks of flesh of Jews (repeated five times)

    In retaliation for Yassin we want Sharon's head

    We want Sharon's head

    We want Sharon's head!

    Hamas, Hamas, Hamas the apple of my eye - Hamas

    They destroyed the Merkava [tank]

    The apple of my eye - Hamas (repeated five times)

    The apple of my eye -Hamas

    The apple of my eye - Hamas

Catchy, huh?

Oddly this is dedicated to the Arab and Palestinian community in Sweden who I imagine were touched.

For other political anthems go here.

I don't know whether or not this particular translation is accurate, but I wouldn't regard MEMRI as a reliable source. See
