If true, quite...dope. 
(Via LGF) Wu-Tang Clan to tour Israel - NME.COM (in full)
Despite the War Iraq and the volatile situation in the Middle East, WU-TANG CLAN, one of the world's biggest rap groups, are heading out to tour Israel.
Wu-Tang members Cappadonna and Remedy are have announced plans to perform in Tel Aviv, Beersheva, Haifa, Eilat, and Jerusalem in May.
"As Americans and hip-hop artists, we want to show solidarity with the people of Israel," Cappadonna told Launch music. "No one thinks that a Hebrew-speaking country has anything to do with hip-hop, but hip-hop is alive in Israel and we are going there to foster the new generations’ way of communicating."
The news comes after comedy-rockers Tenacious D and Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland cancelled their European tours and promotion when war broke out.
Wu-Tang tour dates and venues will be released in the coming weeks.

SEVEN
Wu Tang Clan rap about the Shoah in Never Again. Not Nappy's cup of tea, borders on kitsch, but solid content and powerfully done. Video includes archival clips and some recreations of Jewish life in pre-war Europe. The audio mashup includes a historic rendition of Hatikvah.
