   Ramallah Underground? The members of this crew are likely to deny Israel’s right to exist. There may be loads of reasons to criticise Israeli politics, but is there any good (!) reason to deny Israel’s right to exist, especially for a German?

   On their MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/rucollective) they name both First and Second Intifada as influences. At the beginning of First Intifada Hamas was created. This organisation clearly wants to destroy Israel. During Second Intifada loads of suicide bombings took place. Most of these were arranged by Hamas.

   In an interview (http://zuender.zeit.de/2008/46/ramallah-underground) MC Boikutt, a member of Ramallah Underground, speaks of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. But Palestine is only a region, and Israel may exist in this region by international law. So his words come close to an explicit denial of Israel’s right to exist.

   Do the members of the Still Dangerous Rap crew, do the involved British crews really see themselves in good company there?
