    “death death to the idf” =/= “death to idf troops”

    and i’m tired of outlets reporting on it like it is. the man was saying the idf is a criminal organization that needs to be resisted and disbanded. yeah, that’s gonna result in some fighting because the idf are a violent and vile organization of oppressors, but in the context, “death death to the idf” is the only reasonable stance…

      Has he clarified? Death is specifically a thing that happens to individuals, not organizations, so it does not read this way to me.

        IDF is an org though, and he said death to that. it reads pretty clearly as bing about bringing about an end to the org to me an. the other read relies too heavily on a dictionary definition than on the types of allegory rappers engage in. but as you said, maybe that’s just me
