Dam Born Here Hebrew/arabic With
Palestinian rap group DAM (Da Arab MC’s, or “forever” in Arabic) created this music video about the life of Palestinians in Israel. They’re from Lod, a town between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, so they’re Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (often called “Israeli Arabs”). They usually rap in Arabic, but they made a Hebrew version of this song with a music video to get their message out to the majority of Israelis who don’t speak Arabic. You find out more about them at www.dampalestine.com . I’ve always wanted a subtitled version, so I broke down and adapted the lyrics from their website, to create this. I think this is one of the most powerful rap songs out there. See moomtastic.com to see my extended comments on the video and its chorus. By the way, a lot of people are confused about what DAM stands for, but it really is “forever” or “eternity”. See the interview at www.democracynow.org where you’ll find this: TAMER NAFAR: Ill just correct you. Actually, dam is eternity in Arabic and blood in Hebrew. So its eternal blood, like we will stay here forever.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
DAM (meaning blood and/or enternity in Arabic) is the first Palestinian rap group. That sounds cheesy at first, but once you listen to them you realize that these guys are talented!

@magemager0 I’m American and I ‘m not afraid to criticize Israel. Granted, I wish that they would both grow a pair and find a solution to this problem. The answer to end this tyrancy in Palestine is to have the US tell Israel that they are on their own because then Israel won’t feel as powerfull and then they would try to solve this issue without being at war with the Palestinians and their allies instead of being protected by the US military strength.
this song explains everything the Palestinans are feeling and going through. Long live Palestine, we are behind you, supporting you, and fighting for you. No matter how much you feel like you are alone, you are NEVER alone. Long live Palestine <3
روووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووعه
I know Palestinian Christians who are tormented from every direction….They’re really super sweet,too….They can’t get a break.
throw a stone is shot, what’s going ¡?¡¡¡ by a stone die, for your shot?
In two generations, the Palestinians will outnumber the Jews and they will all be Israeli citizens with voting rights. When that happens, things will be very interesting for the modern day fascist state of Israel. The Jews want an Israel without Arabs but that is simply not going to happen. On the contrary, Israel is becoming more and more Palestinian each day and one day, the Palestinain people will have their rights and freedom again.
Israeli blood will never be more valuable than Palestinian blood. The lost lives in Palestine will spark the greatest revolution to EVER exist
If they kill the innocent people in Palestine that will never kill the eternal revolution that lives among us all. The revolution of justice, freedom and equality that will resurrect itself in the most powerful way and conquer every type of evil and tyranny.
Zionism is most wanted on peoples death wish. G-d will answer us inshAllah
@opiegonebad I definitely appreciate your work in putting the subtitles up here. I agree that the best music has something to say, and that debate is good. However, what I see on literally every single video, ever, about Israel/Palestine is just a whole bunch of people slinging their opinions around, and telling everyone who doesn’t agree with them that they’re wrong, and possibly fascist. In other words, I see a major lack of any real debate. That’s what I’m reacting to.
@magemager0 form part of Israel maybe Israeli citizenship should be given to palestinians there ( which they will become arab israelis) , if israel leves the settlements, as i say, israelis must leave because it will be a silly thing having jews living here being not israelis.
@magemager0 hope that the peace plan finally goes good altough im not agree with borders because Israel has maked too many peace offers and palestinians have rejected it ALL. so i think they must agree with the west bank and gaza. Israeli Settlements, they are part of Israel till Palestine gets independent, then, Israelis and Palestinians must agree in a solution for them. But if what now are the settlements go to Palestine, Israeli citizens must leave them, if the settlements continue to
@magemager0 Palestine has the right to exist, at the same time ISRAEL has the time to exists, two states is the better solution, palestinians have the right to have their own state at the same time that jews/israel have the right to have their own. I consider myself as a zionist but as Israel and all other countries in the world palestine have the right to exist. So much difficult is to accept that Jews have the right to have their own country in Israel? I wish the best for palestine and i
@opiegonebad as far as i know this group defends the union of Palestine and Israel in a single Federal country , the one state solution
@opiegonebad First of all, I really appreciate the work you put into putting the subtitles on this video. Otherwise, I and a lot of others wouldn’t know what this brilliant song is saying! It’s just that I’m tired of seeing all these political arguments on literally every single video about Israel/Palestine. The comments just get clogged up with people who are convinced they’re right, arguing endlessly, getting nowhere. I was just tired of seeing that. I agree that discussion is good, but when
@opiegonebad I really appreciate your work on putting the subtitles on this video – otherwise, I and a lot of people wouldn’t be able to get the message! So thanks, I’m really grateful for that – that’s really awesome. And you’re right that there should be discussion about this issue. I’m just sick of seeing these constant arguments on every single video about Israel/Palestine. The arguing is going nowhere, and I’m tired of seeing it, that’s all.
@magemager0 Yes, but to that I’d add that Europe has it within her power to stop the atrocities as well. Europe is Israel’s main trading partner; if European foreign policy weren’t so flaccid, it could have a great deal of impact. Those committing the atrocities are scared sh*tless of European economic moves that mean somthing. The cold war is over. It’s time for Europe to man up, stop making excuses, and stand up for her professed beliefs with a foreign policy that has teeth.
@kosherrealizations I see no reason why YouTube comments should be divorced from the political message in the videos. Indeed, one of my motivations in sticking the subtitles on DAM’s video was precisely to help communicate a political message, and generate discussion around the subject.
Besides, IMHO some of the best music is music that has something to say, and often that means politics.
Stop all the politics talk, please! Youtube is not the place to debate politics, for God’s sake. Go on a political forum, write a blog. But the comments in youtube should be about the videos themselves!
Bottom line guys, the United States is afraid to criticize Israel; therefore, the atrocities continue to happen to the Palestinian people.
both sides have to change. you cannot extinguish fire with more fire. there are tolerant and kind people on the israeli and on the palestinian side. i as a jew say, that israel is a very young country, and young countries use to do mistakes. that these “mistakes” force innocent lifes is unacceptable to me. it might sound cheesy, but everybody has always to think about children, no matter where they from. if children die, it´s the wrong way. g`d gave us humans mind, we´ve gotta use it….
This is shit rap,i am from Lod and we can film a nice beautifull clip about this old city and these stupid haters make peaple lough on us..when i came to Lod in 97 three were few tents and now it’s full of illegal arab’s houses built on money from drugs selling…everyone knows it even local arabs so don’t talk shit,i am like a jew cannot build in Lod anithing and they buil hundred of houses..
This isn´t racism, this is Zionism !
@orenab1 hey im from palestine its our country they had their country no one took it so why are the jews running after us gosh thats because they kill ppl everywhere to take their place and build places to fight with againts palestine
um look they been killing ppl in my country (palestine) for long long time and we didnt kill ppl as much as them just to build houses and places to put stops everywhere we go…like jericho last time when me and my cousins went and the car couldnt work anymore my dad told them that it stoped and it only had only a little bit of working but they said we dont care ur not allowed to go in today but in jewish
Dam is blood in Arabic too.
Long Live PALESTINE
According to the west:
Terrorism: Another word for Arab
-.-#
@eddrus Ehmm dude…. seriously, don´t tell me that hamas is violent because they shooting fireworks after u?? or do u??
hehe dude… come on u know it, and i know it… let is stop this debate…
Seriously u got tanks, real weapons… and what do Hamas have?? some ak47 and a little bazooka and some fireworks that can´t kill a human… when u get killed, so is it because u get a schock by the explosion, not by the fireworks
@SonOfJerusalem “some people, whose brain is gone, and the violent people in the world”
sounds like Hamas and all similar “fighters”
@eddrus LOl wtf are u talking about… what is israel?? i never heard about it before… can u tell me what that is ??? hmm is it something that have do to some people, whose brain is gone, and the violent people in the world… is that israel??? i don´t know,i´m just guessing :/

1.6 billion will do alot
@freedomisntpolitical
its not sick..its what is going to happen…you think the Israelis are going to give up without war? No. It will come down to slaughtering them all…
Totally agree with ya all,….as for the palestinian group,…they’re totally AWESOME! = )
@LeAnDaH I know countless members of my own community who were beaten, spat upon, robbed, degraded, mocked, and humiliated by muslims just for being Jews. There is ashkenazic discrimination against my coomunity , I have been made fun of by my ashkenazi brethren and yes there are still some problems that need to be fized in Israel with that, but that doesnt hold a candle to the hell that arab muslims put us through
@JaredEricFusia
well, I know 4 unrelated Syrian Jews and their families who have returned to Syria FROM Israel because they were beaten in the schools by Ashkenazi for being Sephardic and wanted to live a peaceful life. Another lady who is ultra-orthodox and wears the jewish version of the niqab was beaten in the streets of Jerusalem for being a “dirty Arab” so Ashkenazi Israelis are not innocent in this. How typical of you to say I support Asaad, I merely said HE didn’t kick them out.
@LeAnDaH lol thanks for trying to tell me about my own community. I don’t know one syrian jew on the face of this earth who has thought of going to live in Syria. Israel is our home and it will forever be so. How lovely of you to defend a vile human being like assad, by the way.
p.s. check your facts… the few jews that remain in syria are second class citizens and are prohibited from serving in the government
@LeAnDaH
ARE returning to Syria, at a big rate. It’s not a “tiny” community. They live in peace with the Christians and Muslims.
@JaredEricFusia
Actually I know Jews living in Syria lol and they have been in Damascus for generations. Asaad didn’t kick out the Jews, many of them left because their neighbours turned against them and blamed them for what was happening in Palestine (kind of like after the Norwegian terror attacks 3 Muslims were assaulted in Oslo as “revenge” before they knew who did it). Last year the Syrian government started fixing up Temples in Damascus and many Sephardic Jews were returning to Syria.
The Palestinians are like the native americans of the old world.
@galavaria in my opinion, arab states have absolutely no credibility to speak on behalf of human rights. Bashar Asaad is slaughtering thousands of his own people, he’s kicked out every last Jew in syria and destroyed the historic communities that existed there for thousands of years, Egypt stands by idly as coptic christians suffer daily pogroms at the hands of islamists, coptic christians mind you have existed in egypt before islam
@JaredEricFusia I’m really sorry for what you went through, but the horrible things that have happened to the Jews doesn’t make what Israel is doing ok. I’m not questioning the legitimacy of Israel as a state, but the reason that many people are against the country now is not anti-semitism, but anger over the human rights abuses that have occurred in Israel since its creation. Yes, Jews have been oppressed, and that’s horrible, but it doesn’t make it ok for them to become the oppressors.
I’m a Syrian jew, and last time I checked, five arab states attacked Israel first in 1948.
My family was driven out from Syria by the racist arab state and fortunately found refuge in Israel. The arab world has oppressed my people for a millenia through dhimmi status, humiliation, expulsion, and slaughter. this video and group is a joke, the muslim/arab world is the center peace of apartheid and human rights abuses. For all the Jews who have suffered at the hands of muslims I say fuck you!
wow.. thats an eye opener.. i live in usa and i feel for what this artist is saying.
@ialrai wanna set an english transation here some where?
