Al-Sahir sings against the occupation…introduction on Channel4

Posted on January 24, 2007 by Sappho

Before you head to Layla’s Blog to watch the clip, you must watch this intro­duc­tion from Channel4.

I admit, Al-Sahir is not my favorite singer but the clip is now play­ing on almost every Arab TV and Satel­lite chan­nel, hugely popular.

The clip shows occu­pa­tion forces attack­ing civil­ians, tor­tur­ing pris­on­ers, and throw­ing the book of Iraq his­tory on the ground.

    notice the chan­nel 4 com­men­ta­tor.: ” he says Kazem is very pop­u­lar to all mid­dle east­ern­ers — he names a few nation­al­i­ties and then adds.. kurds and of course Iraqis..” Typ­i­cal eng­lish ! Kurds are Iraqis..channel 4 colonialists.

    colo­nial­ists is the best word.

    As they are who decide who is Iraqi and who is not.
