Hamas song warns Israelis to leave or die, to the tune of Israeli national anthem
Song on official website of the Izz A-Din Al-Qassam Brigades:
Text in Hebrew and Arabic: "The end of Hatikva" (i.e., "The Hope" name of Israel's national anthem)
(to tune of Israel's national anthem)
(Full song in Hebrew)
"The Zionists' army is made of wax,
and already it is melting and has no hope.
The vile Jews who were here before,
someone tell me what is left of them.
Two groups: The first will be returned to its country of origin if it so chooses,
while the fool who insists [on remaining] -
his fate is sealed - [he'll end up] under the ground.
The name of the Holy City will be restored,
my capital [is named] Beit Al-Maqdis - not Jerusalem.
The name of the Holy City will be restored,
my capital [is named] Beit Al-Maqdis - not Jerusalem."
Text on Israeli flag: "Israel will surely disappear."
