News » Palestinians enraged by Al Jazeera's parody of national anthem

The Christian Science Monitor reports that Al Jazeera, always treading on ice with the Fatah-led Palestinian authority, has managed to broaden its base of outraged Palestinian viewers by broadcasting a parody of Mawtini, or Homeland, the Palestinian national anthem.

The lyrics include:

Catastrophe, hypocrisy, calamity!

Oppressors, cunning people who lack sincerity, you are controlling my homeland.

I see you suffocated, constricted, mouth folded.

Reconciliation will not appear in the form of unity….

Each party wants to satisfy the enemy, and neither cares about mosque or country.

All they care about is humiliating their people.

All they care about is the dollar, the dinar, and their properties and real-estate projects….
