Students protest Mook E's 'fluk E'

Israeli rapper confronted by student demonstrators who slam recent comments he made against settlers who blocked roads to protest Gaza pullout

<snip>

"Spooked by recent comments made by rapper Mook E against settlers protesting Israel’s Gaza pullout, dozens of right-wing students duked it out on Thursday with security officers during the singer’s performance at Tel Aviv University.

The left-wing singer and former member of the Shabak Samech hip hop group told the student newspaper “Teza” earlier this week that “the settlers should have their bones broken” and "be loaded onto trucks" in response to recent road-blocking protests against Israel's plan to pull all 8,500 settlers out of Gaza this summer.

Dozens of students from “Orange Cell,” a nation-wide student activist group that protests the withdrawal, gathered in the audience at his concert during the university's "Student Day", which more than 1,000 people attended, to demonstrate against the rapper."

"Anticipating the backlash from his comment, pro-pullout activists rushed to defend the singer, waving signs that read “Mook E, the people are with you.”
Yuval Adam, a left-wing student leader, said it was “hypocritical” of “Orange Cell” to say leftists foment violence, and cited major protests that occurred in recent weeks where right-wingers blocked roads all over the country, often with burning tires, to protest the withdrawal.

“It’s the Right who blocks roads and..threatens civil war,” he said. “Mook E said stupid things, but ‘Orange Cell’’s protest against his comments is tendentious, and they incite all the time, so they should stop their hypocrisy.”
