Poetic Renderings [Words Of Resistance]
1) Amir Sulaiman: “Danger”
so beautiful. Amir gave goosebumps and Liza moved me to tears. Suhair, as expected from a bourgeois Palestinian “resistance artist”, condemned everyone and every side of this conflict and declared herself alone the hero and the victim. must be a Fatah girl. cheap, self-serving “art.”
Nas, the great censor at work. what a hypocrite.
Salaam ‘Alaikum
I’m a big Def Jam fan too! Tons of clips on You Tube.
xxx (ezzi): i’m sorry i didn’t get your last comment on who the hypocrite is exactly.
UmmZaid: wa 3aleikom al salam. yeah a lot of clips but they’ll eventually take them down
Nas, it was my browser cache. i am about to insert foot in mouth. glass of water please.
