Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
(in full) “Shabaan Abdul Rahim prays that Ghada Rizik will hate Israel”. That is the title of an article appearing on the Arab news website Albawaba.com. The article describes the casting efforts of popular Egyptian singer Sha'aban Abdel Raheem for his new movie, “Ana Bakrah Israil” (I Hate Israel). The title of the planned blockbuster was taken from Abdel Raheem's 2001 international hit song of the same name, in which the singer declares his hatred for Israel and the Jews, and his love for Yasser Arafat, Hosni Mubarak, and Arab League chairman Amr Mousa. At one point, in the song's chorus, Abdel Raheem sings, “I hate Israel. I hate the Jews, I hate them. I hate them because they are annoying. All people hate them.”
Sha'aban's latest Arabic hit is called “The Attack on Iraq”, and portrays America as warmongers acting on behalf of Zionism. “Chechnya! Afghanistan! Palestine! Southern Lebanon! The Golan Heights! And now Iraq, too? And now Iraq, too? It's too much for people. Shame on you! Enough, enough, enough!...” the Egyptian artist sings, “Sharon stays in a swimming pool while the blood falls like rain.”

Hi all,
I think that the article above is just a piece of crap that shows that you have nothing important to speak about. Indeed, nobody knows the singer so how can you say that his song is an "international hit song."
This article was written by an extremist jewish figure to further poison our relationship with our neighbors the Arabs. It is so condescending and badly written.
