Israeli army bans song about border policeman from its radio station


The IDF has ordered that a song about a border policeman
not be played on its radio, Haaretz reports. Some
of the offensive lyrics:




To learn to kill is a
matter of momentum, you start small and later it comes... First it's only a
drill, a rifle barrel bangs the door, children in shock, family in panic... The
heart goes crazy, beats wildly, he knows -- from now on it will be easier.
They're not a man, not a woman, they're only an object, only a shadow. To learn
to kill is a matter of habit... To learn cruelty is a matter of momentum, it
starts out small and later it comes. Every boy is a man, eager for victories.
Hands behind your head, legs apart.
