A sad old song dedicated to the oppressed Palestinian people suffering so many years of occupation and war crimes.
The video featured the song “Al-Aqsa [Mosque] called [for help]” written by Mohamed Fouad. The video opens with an Israeli flag set on fire, a crowd chanting “we will sacrifice our soul and blood for Palestine”, and a statement by Yassir Arafat, the founder of Fatah, PLO and the Palestinian Authority: “They [Israelis] want me a prisoner, expelled or dead, and I say: a martyr, a martyr, a martyr.”
Here are the lyrics of the song (originally in Arabic):
Al-Aqsa [Mosque] called [for help], the call is dear [to us] and even if life is dear, for its cause it [life] becomes cheap
I refuse to watch the treachery [ according to Islam, treachery is a trait attributed to the Jews] free and unrestrained. I refuse to taste the food while my brother is drowning

O Lord, grant us the martyrdom there [Al-Aqsa Mosque]. O Lord, we ask you to give us your promise
O Lord, grant us the martyrdom there [Al-Aqsa Mosque]. O Lord, we ask you to give us your promise
O [the City of] Al-Quds [Jerusalem], I swear by the Lord and your sky so you will return as my Lord named you
The land of Purity and Issa [Jesus] and the [divine] messages, the place of Mohammad’s ascent to the seven heavens
One million brides and grooms and a bliss, they wrote the book [history] with blood on the wedding veil [the video features the picture of Wafa Idris, a Palestinian female suicide bomber who blew herself up in Jerusalem on January 27, 2002]
They are going to see in the paradise of the immortals, the wedding [the martyr in the path of Allah is being married in paradise to 72 virgins] and the angels that are illuminating Palestine
