The news of the song of Israeli children caused a wide resonance among English -speaking readers - largely thanks to the disclosed on November 19 tweet The missus of the Electronic intifada. It stated that initially the video published and then deleted the Israeli national television company. Electronic intifada's moderators, the video looks already like a complete one - lasting almost three minutes. English subtitles are added to the clip.

Indeed, on site Israeli state broadcasting corporation, as well as in its uninitiated X-account early on the morning of November 19 (the day before World Day of the child) A video clip with singing children was published. As reported in the release, the song “Civil Front” has released the song, and the work itself - a remake of the old song ”Friendship"Written by Haim Guri and Sasha Argov after the first Arab-Israeli war (1948-1949) and dedicated to the memory of the fallen soldiers.

"Civil Front" - the Israeli public organization created after the attack of the Hamas militants and sets the goal of restoring the confidence of the population in the Israeli defense army. Last month, the organization attracted the general attention of its action -All over Tel Aviv, giant billboards with images of the captured leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, generated neural networks were installed.

Co -authors of the new text of the song performed Chairman of the “Civil Front” of Ofer Rosenbaum and Shulamith Stolen. As stated in different publicationsThe song was performed by children from 6 to 12 years old, after the start of the current round of war, evacuated from border settlements near Gaza.

The text of the work under the names "Friendship-2023" is given by the Israeli broadcasting corporation (in Hebrew) and the edition of The Jewish Press (In English). Translated into Russian there are such words:

Autumn night falls on the beaches of Gaza.
The planes are bombing. Destruction over destruction.
Take a look at how the stag passes the border,
To destroy the carriers of the swastika.

A year later
There will be nothing there.
And we will return unharmed to our house
A year later.
We will destroy them all and return our fields to plow.

Shortly after the content of the song caused noise in social networks (including among Israelis), video recording was Remove from the resources of the Israeli broadcasting corporation. There were no official explanations. On the page of the "Civil Front" on YouTube Clip Available And to this day.

Thus, in the text of the sensational song there really is the words “we will destroy them all” and “there will be nothing there”. If, regarding the first phrase, it is still possible to assume that the militants of Hamas (although this is not accurately), then the second definitely carries the point of "equal to the gas with the Earth." From this it can be concluded that the interpretation of the song’s text that is common in social networks is mostly correct.
