On December 2nd 2023, Al-Quds (Jerusalem) based Palestinian rapper Daboor posts the video below on his Instagram story. It is a compilation of videos and images of Palestinian youth fighting illegal invasions of the West Bank by the Israeli army, and fighting against illegal military occupation of the West Bank like with checkpoints in the middle of the WB. The compilation is overlayed with the audio of the song 16 Jib, by a recurring musical collaborator of Daboor's, Shabjdeed. He posts this video as the zionist occupation's illegal invasions of the West Bank ramp up and multiply. Daboor is here likely attempting to show his support for Palestinian self-defence. The caption below the video says "We are the myths" in Arabic.

And he solves stuff before people because he knows that stuff. The southern brawling cowboy won’t hit anyone UNLESS they have a really stupid opinion about 16th century architecture. His eyes light up when he’s talking about symbolism and he gushes about 15th century Spanish love poetry. The beautiful lady will disarm nuclear threats with gusto, because it’s an Art.
Being Arab is more complicated than “you were raised in the west so you have no ties to your heritage and you’re entirely unaffected by anything that’s going on in your home country” like genuinely get serious
the infamous 'last sighting of a barbary lion in the wild' photo taken by marcelin flandrin (1925) haunts me to my core. there's something so achingly poetic about it.
