Al-Aqsa Intifada: Al Aqsa Intifada
built 236 days ago
The original collaboration of “Al Aqsa Intifada” opens with oud strings cleaved by explosive distorted bass, like mortar shells of funk. The sensual voice of a Palestinian female exhorts an uprising to the sweep of Middle Eastern strings. The tone, urgent and stirring, maintains anthemic ferocity throughout. The dub edit is largely the same, only steeped in reverb and delay, resulting in a hybrid mutant of dub and Middle Eastern music (not surprising given the personnel).

The Al Aqsa Intifada was not a result of a random series of actions. It has a direct consequence of the Israeli intransigence that contributed to increase the boiling state of the Palestinians, who burst on September 28, 2000 upon the visit of now Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to the holy Al Aqsa Mosque, along with thousands of guards, soldiers and extremist supporters.

People who followed Middle East news in 2000 cannot forget the image of Muhamed al Durah, gunned down in a hail of Israeli bullets at the very beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada.

Its prominence goes far beyond any other image from this terrible conflict and its impact goes far beyond any of its other images, one of “the most powerful images of the past 50 years,” one of the shaping images of this young 21st century.
