“Michael Moore talks about his time in Palestine and why the U.S. needs to stop funding Israel’s crimes. He also praises today’s students who are protesting for Palesinians.
This clip comes from a livestream of a “Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel” Katie anchored which was held on the second night of Passover on Tuesday night. The demonstration was held in Brooklyn one block away from the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hours before the Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid package that includes about $17 billion in arms and security funding to Israel. Hundreds of protesters were arrested. During the seder, Katie was in a studio on Manhattan’s Lower East Side providing commentary and interviewing special guests Rabbi Brant Rosen, filmmaker Michael Moore, journalist Abby Martin, Actor, playwright and essayist Wallace SHawn, Human Rights and environmental lawyer Steven Donziger and actor and activist Susan Sarandon. And she was joined in studio by Fouad Dakwar, a Palestinian-American musical theater writer and the creator of the great musical Fouad of Nazareth.

Biden & Netanyahu React To ICJ: ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now (Genocide Remix)’:

Lyrics by Katie Halper and Daniel Maté. Video edited by Kinky Roach Productions. Biden voiced by Mike MacRae. Bibi voiced by Daniel Maté. Parody of the song “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” co-written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond and recorded by Starship.
Lyrics:
BIDEN:
Looking in your eyes
I see that we’re aligned
This war that we fund is too good to be true
‘Merica’s beside you
All these bombs to give you
Our whole GDP, we’ll just wire to you!
BIBI:
Let ’em say we’re psychos
I don’t care about that;
History started when Khamass launched their attack!
Let the whole damn region
Just fall apart
We’re the persecuted ones,
So have a heart!
BOTH:
And we can win this thing together
Ethnic cleanse forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And when the Strip runs out of Gazans
We’ll go kill their cousins
The Hague ain’t gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now,
Whoaaaaaa
BIBI:
I’m so glad we’re bombing
This war is super calming
A ceasefire would mean
I’d be going to jail.
BIDEN:
Folks say it’s unlawful,
And yeah the polls are awful.
But Trump’s on the ballot:
Of course I’ll prevail!
BIDEN:
Let em say it’s genocide
What do they know?
So you bomb the Gazans right where you tell them to go!
BIBI:
If we kill a hostage
Or maybe three,
That’s the price we pay to save theocracy—
(BIDEN: You mean, democracyyyy!)
BOTH:
And we can win this thing together
Human rights? whatever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
So let the courts keep pressing charges,
Houthis block our barges,
Nothing’s gonna stop us,
Nothing’s gonna stop us—
Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is back you forever
Forever and ever…
And we’ll just keep committing war crimes
Then go do some more crimes
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And you can save your moral sermons
‘Cause we’ve got the Germans
The Hague ain’t gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us
And we’ll create a global crisis
Claim Khamass is ISIS
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if South Africa accuses
They just hate the Jewses
The Hague ain’t gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And we’ll just keep on genocidin’
Bibi rides with Biden
Nothing’s gonna stop us now (Nothing’s gonna stop us)
and if our rep gets any lowah
we’ll invoke the Shoah
The Hague aint gonna stop us”
