Well, if they didn’t get paid for the use of the song, that’s not fair.

In the Likud ad, several jihadists in a pickup truck flying the IS flag stop to ask an Israeli driver for directions to Jerusalem. The Israeli replies: “Take a left,” followed by the flash of one of the Likud’s campaign slogans, “The left will surrender to terror.”

From the comments at the video.
‘the terorist said : “on what way can i get to jerusalem?”
and the Israeli said : “go left” (like political left)’

My favorite Israeli rap/hip hop group is Subliminal.

Their song “Tikvah” (hope) with Spanish sub-titles.
