Corner Prophets

Coolooloosh, Shanaan Street (of Hadag Nachash), Sagol 59, Qwami, Kashi & MC Carolina come together to support Rebel Sun (aka A7) in his battle with misrad hapanim to naturalize as a citizen of Israel.

A7, who came with his wife to Israel on a student visa some years ago, is an observant Jew, whose two daughters were born in Israel and whose wife is presently earning her masters here. Because his conversion is unrecognized by the Israeli government, and because he fudged his initial visa extension, the Israeli authorities are trying to run him out of town.

The attention generated by this song may change all that, however. After it debuted on Galei Tzahal Thursday night (at which time the freestyle I posted earlier this week was recorded), members of Kadima and Meretz called to offer their support to A7, in helping him become a citizen.

You can read all about his case here.
