On Thursday, the Jewish national co-director of the radical leftist group CodePink, which champions the BDS movement and consistently targets Israel, ripped a black Jewish rapper’s video in which he stood up for the Jewish people, calling it “gross.” The rapper, who calls himself “Young Gravy,” also targeted social justice warriors who claim that the Jews in Israel are not indigenous to the land, rapping, “Say you value social justice, are you kiddin’ us, what the hell gives you the right to tell me who’s indigenous.”
Ariel Gold was triggered after Hen Mazzig, a gay Israeli Jew, touted the video:
Gold, who has appropriated the anti-Semitic verbiage of anti-Israel activists before by referring to Israel as an “apartheid” state, reacted:
For which she was slammed:
The rapper, who goes by “Young Gravy,” rapped in the video, titled ”Diaspora”:
I’m a proud part of the Diaspora
We ain’t gonna play the victim they get mad every time we standin’ up
I’m proud of my people what we accomplished
You crazy if you think some rockets or ***** will stop us
Look through our history and we’ve been through it all
Been through slavery and the Holocaust and still standin’ tall
At the Kotel, Western Wall, sayin’ “Shma”, meditate
Another population to whom this song is dedicated
The video continues as Young Gravy names various sites and areas in Israel, then continues:
I’m a proud part of the Diaspora
In my heart I hold Jerusalem and Africa
Kicked aside of our land and started gassin’ us
‘Til we put our foot down because we had enough
Check out the flag that I wave
Two stripes and a huge Star of Dave
Check out the flag that I’m wavin’
Keep shootin’ rockets but you’re never gonna take
Hear em talkin’ bout “The Jews will not replace us”
On college campuses that bitch tryin’ to erase us
And all that BDS campaign
We’ve dealt with worse problems
The racist associations the students are like stupid and they think they’re making differences takin’ and choosin’ troops not knowin what real resistance is
Say you value social justice
Are you kiddin’ us
What the hell gives you the right to tell me who’s indigenous
You don’t advocate, you just assume the privilege
Of lookin’ at other people and tellin’ them what their image is …
Diaspora, of which I’m a proud part
I’ve got blue and white in my veins running through my heart
And they get mad when we’re survivin’
The truth is the only way they like a Jew is if they’re dyin’
So while I’m sayin’ this by the candlelight
Take a moment and remember the fallen for their sacrifice
Never again, never forget
They wanted us dead
We rose from the ashes instead
We wouldn’t have a future if we didn’t have a past
So every day we gotta take a minute and honor those who passed
