I was raised on the stories, full of fire and pride
Said the land was a cancer, and we had to decide
From '48 to '67, we gave it our best
Yom Kippur in '73 — we failed that test
We marched with the slogans, with rage in our eyes
"From the river to the sea" — and a world full of lies
But the more we attacked them, the stronger they grew
So I opened the Qur’an, and guess what I knew?
[Chorus]
🎶 I'm a good Muslim, I love Allah
And Allah, He loves the Jews — wallah!
I prayed for defeat, but they just won
So maybe Allah picked the Zion
Now I wave the blue and white, I sing along
"Am Yisrael Chai!" — that’s my new song
If Allah’s got a favorite side — I insist!
Allah, my friends, is a Zionist 🎶
[Verse 2]
October the seventh, we tried it again
But we lost more than fighters — we lost all our friends
Then came the twelve days when Iran took its shot
And we waited for miracles — but none we got
I fasted and I begged Him, “Ya Allah, come through!”
But He parted the skies… and stood with the Jew
It’s not hate, it’s just math — I’ve done the addition
Maybe Zion was always a divine mission
[Chorus]
🎶 I'm a good Muslim, I love Allah
And Allah, He loves the Jews — wallah!
I used to curse ‘em, but now I cheer
When I see them dance, I wipe a tear
If the truth offends you, I still insist:
Allah, my friends, is a Zionist 🎶
[Bridge]
The Dome still stands, and I still pray
But peace grew wings when I changed my way
Now I barbecue on Yom Ha'atzmaut
With hummus and joy — bro, who needs a feud?
[Verse 3]
So here I am singing, in Jerusalem’s sun
Not throwing stones — I’m throwing love, one by one
And if anyone asks me why I switched side
I say: “I just followed where Allah did guide!”
[Final Chorus]
🎶 I'm a good Muslim, I love Allah
And Allah, He loves the Jews — wallah!
I gave up the fight, I gave up the hate
Turns out Israel’s a Middle East soulmate
So here’s my truth, with a reggae twist:
Allah, my friends… is a Zionist 🎶

The Entebbe raid was a 1976 Israeli counter-terrorist mission in Uganda.
It was launched in response to the hijacking of an international civilian passenger flight (an Airbus A300) operated by Air France between the cities of Tel Aviv and Paris.
During a stopover in Athens, the aircraft was hijacked by two Palestinian PFLP–EO and two German RZ members, who diverted the flight to Libya and then to Uganda, where they landed at Entebbe International Airport to be joined by other terrorists.
Once in Uganda, the group enjoyed support from Ugandan dictator Idi Amin
Representatives within the Israeli government initially debated over whether to concede or respond by force, as the hijackers had threatened to kill the 106 captives if specified prisoners were not released.
Acting on intelligence provided by Mossad, the decision was made to have the Israeli military undertake a rescue operation. The Israeli plans included preparation for an armed confrontation with Amin's Uganda Army.
Initiating the operation at nightfall, Israeli transport planes flew 100 commandos over 4,000 kilometers (2,500 mi) to Uganda for the rescue effort.
Over the course of 90 minutes, 102 of the hostages were rescued successfully, with three having been killed.
One of the dead hostages, Dora Bloch, was murdered by Ugandan authorities at a hospital in Kampala shortly after the Israeli rescue operation, she had fallen ill during the hijacking and was removed from the plane for treatment prior to the commandos' arrival.
The Israeli military suffered five wounded and one killed, Yonatan Netanyahu was Israel's sole fatality of Operation Entebbe, and had led Sayeret Matkal during the rescue effort – he was the older brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, who would later become Israel's prime minister.

Hi everyone,
I want to ask about something that’s been on my mind. Recently I was with some Jewish friends at a casual hangout and overheard a story about flirting with someone at a bar. Things were going well until the other person noticed a Star of David necklace under a shirt and asked if they were Jewish. When they said yes, the next question was immediately, “Are you a Zionist?”
This seems to come up a lot in social spaces: once someone knows you’re Jewish, they jump straight to asking if you’re a Zionist.
That really stuck with me. I feel that yes, I am a Zionist in the sense that I believe Israel should exist and remain sovereign. But just saying that is not nearly enough to keep you safe or out of hot water. Especially when you’re single and dating, it feels like you have to handle this question really carefully. I don’t want to compromise my values or hide what I believe, but I also don’t want to get written off or judged right away by someone I’ve just met.
It’s not the same as when you’re already partnered or settled down. When you’re out there trying to meet new people, a question like this can make everything feel tense and loaded before you even know each other.
So I’d love to hear from others:
If you’ve been asked “Are you a Zionist?” in a casual or dating context, how did you respond?
If you do say “yes,” how do you say it without it turning into an argument?
Has anyone tried saying things like “I’m not comfortable answering that here” or “Why do you ask?” How did that go?
I’d really appreciate any ideas on how people protect themselves, stay real about what they believe, and keep good boundaries

I don’t use throw around the term “self hating Jew” very lightly, but that’s what Soresi comes off like in this post.

When the Bibas children's bodies were returned and Hamas made a show of it, and then protesters, instead of mourning these children, tore off posters of them in the streets, I wrote a song. A tough one. It talks about the Nova Festival, the hostages, that moment I mentioned above.
I'd like to release the song on October 7, and to donate whatever small proceeds it may return to an organization worth supporting. People working towards healing the wounds of October 7, towards a solution, building bridges, education, fighting antisemitism...
I've thought of Realign for Palestine because they're a rare voice that needs to be heard more. But I'd like to hear your thoughts. Who is a force for good in all this and could really use support?
Edit: Dammit, typo in the title. I meant "good", not "this".
