about

"Hasbara" is a Hebrew word associated with pro-Israeli propaganda. This song is about Israel painting themselves as a prevailing democracy, while they brutally oppress the Palestinian people, taking their land away in manifest destiny-style tactics.
The Israeli government's brutality doesn't even end there; Ethiopian-Israelis also experience systematic racism. Many within the government seek to have a Jewish state, but it seems that they only want Jews of a certain race, too.

lyrics

Experiencing bloodshed allows you to wield bloodshed,
And the tortured surely know what shrieks can wake the dead.
As they pinkwash themselves, they wash children in red;
Trumpets don't tear down Jericho's walls, it's missiles, instead.
The terrorist title is reserved for the civilian,
While "terrorized" rarely die, genocide receives justification.
Land is land, and land is commodity,
And those who obstruct capital are deserving of cruelty.

The United States raises its children by example.

When oppressed fight oppression, you give them more oppression,
You can shroud it in religious rhetoric obsession.
Resistance simply painted as race hate,
How many have to die for a Jewish state?
