Zionisme

ik kwam dit liedje weer tegen na vele jaren. Nooit heb ik begrepen, ben slecht in Engels, wat die 'israelites' in dit gezang doen.

Nu maar even de stoute schoenen aangetrokken om te vragen: Weet iemand waar het verhaal nu eigenlijk over gaat?

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor, poor me, Israelites (ah-ah)
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor, poor me, the Israelite
My wife and my kids, they packed up and a-leave me
Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"
Poor, poor me, the Israelite
Shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me, the Israelite
After a storm, there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
Poor, poor me, Israelites, hey
I said I get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor, poor me, Israelites, ah
My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"
Poor, poor me, Israelites, ah
Look, shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor a-poor me, Israelites, ah
After a storm, there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm, you sound your alarm
Poor, poor me, Israelites, hey-hey-hey
Poor, poor me, Israelites
Dem a wonder we not working so hard
Poor, poor me, Israelites

Musically, “Israelites” is all about Jamacian syncopation. A guitar and organ provide opening chords and counterpoints, but it’s the Jamaican reggae rhythm expressed by that jittery drummer, combined with those terrific vocals that defines the song.

The song is rooted in the ideas of the Rastafarian religion, which borrows the idea of the twelve Tribes from Judaism: the “Israelites”. Rastafarians see Ethipoia as the home of the Falasha or Beta Israel; the home of the “Lost Tribes” of Israel, and they see themselves as their descendants. This loosely organized religion became popular in the 1960s among poor Jamaicans.

Vertaling:

Muzikaal draait ‘Israelites’ helemaal om Jamaciaanse syncopen. Een gitaar en orgel zorgen voor openingsakkoorden en contrapunten, maar het is het Jamaicaanse reggaeritme dat wordt uitgedrukt door die zenuwachtige drummer, gecombineerd met die geweldige zang die het nummer definieert.

Het lied is geworteld in de ideeën van de rastafari-religie, die het idee van de twaalf stammen ontleent aan het jodendom: de ‘Israëlieten’. Rastafari's zien Ethipoia als de thuisbasis van de Falasha of Beta Israël; de thuisbasis van de ‘verloren stammen’ van Israël, en zij zien zichzelf als hun nakomelingen. Deze losjes georganiseerde religie werd in de jaren zestig populair onder arme Jamaicanen.

Misschien ? :unsure:
 
Facebook, reeds in 2021, zonder een enkel bewijs.

Hiermee wil ik wel niet zeggen dat ie geen zionist is.
Ik baseer me op het bericht van de doorgaans goed geïnformeerd Brecht Arnaert en ben obv zijn bericht gaan zoeken op X. Maar OK ik kan het natuurlijk mis hebben.
 
THE GLOBAL REACH OF ZIONISM

European countries continue to arm Israel as its attacks on Gaza persist

Israel's military spending surged 24% to $27.5 billion

■ EU granted Israel export licenses worth €6.3 billion ($6.8 billion) from 2014 to 2022

■ Germany is Israel's largest European arms supplier, providing 30% of its imports
