Amir Benayoun is a popular Mizrachi Israeli singer/composer with a small problem. He's not left-wing, and sometimes his songs are political commentary -- and not from a left-wing perspective. This past week he released a song called "Ahmed Loves Israel" (song and translated lyrics below)
In particular, it reminds the listeners that the Arab terrorists in Har Nof Massacre, in the Merkaz HaRav Massacre, in the Rechavam Ze'evi assassination, in the Yehuda Glick assassination attempt, and in many of the other terror attacks worked near the places where they committed their terror attacks, and they seemed normal, until they weren't.

It is true that I am just an ungrateful creep
It is true but I am not blame I did not grow up on love
It is true there will come the moment when you will turn to me your back and then
I'll stick with you the sharpened ax
I Ahmed live in the central region
I work near the kindergarten
And responsible - for the gas cylinders
Who like me enjoys the best of both worlds
Today I am
And tomorrow they are not
Many of them, a lot of them not
It is true that I am just an ungrateful creep
It is true but I am not to blame me as I did not grow up on love
It is true there will come the moment when you will turn to me your back and then
I'll shoot you straight in the back
You are allowed to go up on the roof and shoot with joy You are allowed as an elected official to even show support You are allowed to shout 'Death to the Jews' And a small guy like me is not allowed to sing songs
You are allowed to wave the flag of a terrorist state Nowadays its even in fashion if you are a little enlightened In the name of God, you are allowed to shed blood And I the smallest of people am forbidden to say a few words
If the killer has become the victim And I have became the despicable murderer I do not have much left to say I live in a scary and insane world
You are allowed to run over a police officer, after all he is the devil And anyone who does not think like you he is just a little infidel You are allowed to crush with your tractor a hapless Jew And me a fool like me is -censored-
If the killer has become the victim And I have became the despicable murderer I do not have much left to say In a world that is so despicable and insane
If rejoicing in the death of Jewish children - is no problem I have nothing to look for I'm going to be hospitalized by force
You are allowed to run over a police officer, he is the devil Anyone who does not think like you - is like a little heretic You are allowed to shout 'Death to the Jews'
But a small guy like me is forbidden to sing songs An idiot like me is forbidden to sing songs
