The farce of the peace process, revealed once again by Palestinian Media Watch: Group that sings about destruction of Israel named national band by Abbas
A song and dance group that has recently performed hate and violence promotion songs in the PA has been honored and turned into an official Palestinian national band by decree of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Among the performances that have been broadcast by the Alashekeen band on PA TV was a dance and song about conquering Israel through war.

What, exactly, is a 'national band'?
I'm serious. This sounds exactly like the sort of behavior you'd expect from a police state -- a state newspaper, a state-run radio station, an official state band. I don't recall the Soviet Union ever doing such a thing, but it's not difficult to imagine.
Can you imagine, even for a moment, the United States naming a national band? How about Britain? (They wouldn't do that even for the Beatles; heck, it took decades for the Beatles to be knighted.)
The PA continues to show the world exactly what it is -- a corrupt totalitarian regime founded on terror. And the world continues to look the other way.
The guy looks like Nathan Lane - but it's NOT Nathan Lane.
All they are saying... is give jihad a chance.
ABBA chose the Palestinian national band?
