Bibi & Biden: Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now

/ went2thebridge / Leave a comment

In a week where Joe Biden forgot the word “Hamas” (awkward since their existence is the  pretext for genocide in Gaza) and said he was the president of “everybody whether they live in a red state or a green state” we were left imagining ourselves with a real, visible leader who made some kind of sense. 

You can disagree with Russian president Vladimir Putin or not, but after watching his historic interview last night I can only imagine Biden debating a world leader like Putin or China’s Xi Jinping as a Saturday Night Live skit.

And in that spirit, because you wouldn’t want to miss it, I bring you Katie Halper and Daniel Maté’s parody of the U.S. and Israel spitting in the face of the ICJ ruling, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now (Genocide Remix).”

Published on YouTube with these notes:

This song and video were inspired by Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement, “Nobody will stop us — not the Hague, not the axis of evil and not anybody else,” and Joe Biden’s unwavering support of Israel’s war crimes.

Lyrics: BIDEN: Looking in your eyes I see that we’re aligned This war that we fund is too good to be true ‘Merica’s beside you All these bombs to give you Our whole GDP, we’ll just wire to you! BIBI: Let ’em say we’re psychos I don’t care about that; History started when Khamass launched their attack! Let the whole damn region Just fall apart We’re the persecuted ones, So have a heart! BOTH: And we can win this thing together Ethnic cleanse forever Nothing’s gonna stop us now And when the Strip runs out of Gazans We’ll go kill their cousins The Hague ain’t gonna stop us Nothing’s gonna stop us now, Whoaaaaaa BIBI: I’m so glad we’re bombing This war is super calming A ceasefire would mean I’d be going to jail. BIDEN: Folks say it’s unlawful, And yeah the polls are awful. But Trump’s on the ballot: Of course I’ll prevail! BIDEN: Let em say it’s genocide What do they know? So you bomb the Gazans right where you tell them to go! BIBI: If we kill a hostage Or maybe three, That’s the price we pay to save theocracy— (BIDEN: You mean, democracyyyy!) BOTH: And we can win this thing together Human rights? whatever Nothing’s gonna stop us now So let the courts keep pressing charges, Houthis block our barges, Nothing’s gonna stop us, Nothing’s gonna stop us— Ooh, all that I need is you All that I ever need And all that I want to do Is back you forever Forever and ever… And we’ll just keep committing war crimes Then go do some more crimes Nothing’s gonna stop us now And you can save your moral sermons ‘Cause we’ve got the Germans The Hague ain’t gonna stop us Nothing’s gonna stop us And we’ll create a global crisis Claim Khamass is ISIS Nothing’s gonna stop us now And if South Africa accuses They just hate the Jewses The Hague ain’t gonna stop us Nothing’s gonna stop us now And we’ll just keep on genocidin’ Bibi rides with Biden Nothing’s gonna stop us now (Nothing’s gonna stop us) and if our rep gets any lowah we’ll invoke the Shoah The Hague aint gonna stop us Nothing’s gonna stop us now

10 Takeaways From Nasrallah’s Speech Today

Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah addressed the world today, Friday afternoon, from an undisclosed location in Lebanon. It seemed to my husband and me quite an important speech, historic and international in scope. 

My takeaways:

1) It sounded and felt like a wartime speech from a credible leader. He characterized what’s happened since October 6 as a regional war but one with real potential to become global. He also expressed that world history has been changed significantly by Oct 6 and subsequent events. We are all now divided into those who stand with Palestine and those who don’t.

2) Nasrallah said Hezbollah knew nothing in advance of the Al-Aqsa Flood.

3) Nevertheless, they are in complete solidarity with Hamas and have been active on Lebanon’s southern border engaging Israeli military and drawing them off from Gaza since Oct 8. Many settlements near that border have already been evacuated of Israelis.

4) For those who ask when will Hezbollah enter the conflict, see above.

5) Other resistance forces in Iraq and Syria have repeatedly shelled U.S. military bases in those countries since the events of Oct 6. This pressure will continue and increase.

6) It is clear to the whole world that Israel’s war on Palestinians in Gaza is the U.S.’s war. The U.S. military failed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria — and it will fail in Palestine.

7) Israel’s military is weak and would not be able to pursue the war on Gaza without significant support and funding from the U.S.

8) The resistance remains stronger than ever and will continue the struggle with perseverance, solidarity, and despite any pain the occupier can inflict. He said, the people who kicked you out of Lebanon in the early 80’s are still here, and now their children and grandchildren have joined them.

9) We see you, countries that continue to sell oil and gas to Israel. Your consequences will be different from those who stand with Palestine.

10) The U.S. Navy and Air Force are vulnerable, particularly in the Mediterranean, and if they are used to attack, for example, Iran or Lebanon, they will find out how vulnerable.
