Song taken from the Oi Polloi / Nikmat Olalim split Heavenly Peace (2006). 06-nikmat_olalim-ghetto_syndromeWebsite: http://www.gutzy.com/olalim/index.htmlSong lyrics: http://www.gutzy.com/olalim/lyrics.html#ghettoNikmat Olalim is Israel's most outspoken political hardcore band. Its 18-year-old members are all on the verge of entering mandatory military service, or opting out of the service with possible lifelong consequences. They sing songs in both English and Hebrew which protest everything from Israeli governmental policies to the dangers of consumerism.Nikmat Olalim ("Toddler's Revenge") is the name of an extremist Jewish organization that set a pipe bomb in an elementary school in Zur Baher, a village in East Jerusalem. This subject doesn't receive much attention in the Israeli public, even though when there are terrorist attacks against Jews you would hear about them for weeks, and the intention is to show ourselves and the world that the Jews are the victims and we're under constant threat. Obviously, bringing up the existence of Jewish terrorism against Arabs damages this image. When this issue is being raised, the Jewish terrorists are presented as crazy extremists, outside the Israeli mainstream. Few make the connection between this illegal act, to the much worse actions carried out by the Israeli Army which are considered legal (at least according to Israeli law), and receive practically full support by the Israeli public. The organization Nikmat Olalim injured 10 schoolchildren and a teacher in Zur Baher. In the past three years, around 20 Palestinians were injured on daily average by the Israeli security forces, and more than 2 were killed every day. Jewish terrorism is not some extremist or singular event, terror is an inseparable part of Israeli society, and it is carried out daily.Line-Up:Tal (bass), David (guitar), Yaniv (drums), Giora (vocals)
