Feb 10, 2022: “The Arabs’ consciences are crumbling, they have forgotten Palestine”; satirical Israeli song causes a stir in the Arab world. Israeli comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi has recorded a video with an insulting song for the UAE, especially Dubai, which has gone viral in the Arab world.
“Dubai, Dubai. Burning the consciousness of Arabs. And just like Dubai, they forgot the blockaded Gaza.” This powerful lyric reminds the audience of the raid that happened in Al-Aqsa last summer. The bombings that occurred in Gaza following the raid is another testimony to Israel’s cruelty towards Palestinians.
According to the French media, the song is in Arabic, under which the translation of the song is shown in both English and Hebrew. The song has been viewed and tweeted thousands of times so far. The satirical song “Dubai, Dubai” Criticizes recent agreement to normalize relations between UAE.
Israeli comedian Noam Shuster-Eliassi’s satirical song, titled Dubai, Dubai, highlights the “political bond” between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel.
The UAE is often considered to be representative of Arab views and concerns. However, in recent years, the political relations established between the two countries has caused quite a stir in many countries.
An Israeli comedian, Eliassi is an ardent supporter of the Palestinian plight despite her nationality. In her song, she emphasises Israel’s colonial brutality and ruthless cruelty that has displaced several Palestinians in favour of illegal settlements for foreign Jews.
Eliassi, who is fluent in Arabic, sang her “controversial” song on the Arabic-language station Makan 33.
“There is nothing better than Arabs who have millions and forgot about Nakba. They forgot about Palestine.” The part brings the Palestinian exodus to the world’s attention. Nakba, also known as the Palestinian catastrophe, is the mass displacement and forcible destruction of Palestinian homes and land by Israeli forces in 1948.
Palestinian twitter users are amused by the fact that the song is likely to infuriate Emiratis.
For Eliassi, it is not the first time she had received a lot of attention online. In 2019, she sarcastically proposed to Saudi Prince Muhmmad bin Salman. She has always vocalised the Palestinian plight and sees herself as a comedian for Israeli and Arab relations.
