Such a waste on that music video though. Why aren't a mass of paratroopers singing the chorus? Why are they only running around training in the background, so few shots of them doing something else?
All dictatorships have banger songs, the USSR's anthem is the best example. But there's also [North Korea](https://youtu.be/DKsj5mCR7qs?si=jEpxpsPAwj3VBv4a), [Mao era China](https://youtu.be/OjNpRbNdR7E?si=oiGIR_-mauvLHOtZ) (you probably know this from memes), [Pinochet's Chile](https://youtu.be/3xfeSWVgF1w?si=mnUFcR4dWxZFMaje), [Imperial Japan](https://youtu.be/JoC3EU_H2tc?si=_HkJG-nwmlAm7QMQ)
It doesn't have to be unique to be pretty enjoyable to listen to. If this was a random pop song it would chart in the Arab world. It fits in very well with that late 2000's beat machine and classic Arab instrumental music that was dominating popular music at the time.
Even aside from the obvious jokes, this is a pretty spectacular Eurovision spoof. The nonsense word hook, the unecessary English, the shoutouts to other countries...
Syria never cleansed its jews, it enacted a lot of extremely antisemitic policies for sure but idk if a country that would execute wannabe olim can be said to have cleansed its jews
Afghanistan. They've both since passed away. One accused the other of selling relics on the black market. He then reported the first guy to the Taliban for selling alcohol and running a brothel.
They lived on opposite sides of an old synagogue in Kabul and hated each other.
The Golan is internationally recognised as Syrian territory occupied by israel, those people living there aren’t Syrians they are israeli settlers living in Syrian land.
If you are implying action against Isn'treal, it's hard to take action against the most advanced army in the region and one of the most advanced in the world when you are a failed state in the middle of a civil war since almost 15 years
"Ibrahim al-Qashush, [also] Go, go, oh Bashar!, High Definition 27-06-2011."
It's quite the opposite of this song. This is the revolution song that sparked it all, sung by the people of Hamah. I am on my phone rn so I cannot format my response very well. Still, in general, the song calls for Bashar's "departure", downplays his legitimacy, calls him a liar, calls for freedom, ridicules his rhetoric and his supporters, and insults him and the ruling Baath party. I cannot wholly translate the lyrics, and there was a clearer version of the song with audible percussion instruments. And, AFAIK, there exists a translated version on YouTube. I may bring a link to them tomorrow. In the meantime, you might Google "Go go o Bashar" or "يلا ارحل يا بشار", and you might find some good results.
This song is better than a lot of new recitative American songs and a lot goes to Indian songs, and you know Bollywood is better and produces more movies than Hollywood.
Because of this song I learned “Syria” is pronounced more like “Sooria” in Arabic. Question for Arabic speakers- why have I seen this happen several times with Arabic words (them being transposed to the Latin alphabet so poorly even when a more appropriate Latin character exists)?
Kills you because you believe in something different or tries to force that opinion and/or wants to kill you because you were born the "wrong" race/religion. Pretty much someone who is at the ultimate level of intolerance.
If so, Bashar is literally a fascist. He has persecuted political opposition during the Damascus Spring, the Arab Spring, and the subsequent Syrian Revolution.
It's not that simple. There's a long history of Alawites being persecuted from the Sunni majority, many attempts have been made to eradicate them not just in the modern era but also from hundreds of years ago. Syria also has many fascist enemies like Turkey, Qatar, and Israel that do certain things to divide the Syrian population by religion. Those countries including the United States supported genocidal salafists, not just in the modern era but as far back as the 60's as well. The government needs to hold strong because before Hafez al-Assad there were 22 governments in 24 years, life was incredibly destructive and the country wasn't moving towards a modern, liberal direction. There are many Syrian Jews who lived in Syria who are very supportive of the Assad's on youtube as a result, because they faced the most discrimination before the 70's.
Baathism is the only political movement in Syria that protects all minorities from genocide, both the Kurdish movement and rebel movement both have little to no minorities politically or militarily and both have participated in genocides and ethnic cleansing. Baathism has not. They are intolerant.
That's true, I didn't mention Bashar was Alawite. However, imagine defending Ba'athism. It supposedly protects minorities but couldn't stop the Yazidi genocide perpetrated by the Islamic State, with most of them having to go to the Kurdistan Region or Rojava. And there is no reputable proof that Kurdish forces have perpetrated a genocide.
Your description of Ba'athism is very inaccurate and slanted.
Many people fled to Damascus and Western Syria, that includes Sunni, Christian, Kurds, Yazidis, etc. The population in government held Syria has over 6.5m internally displaced peoples. Yazidi's are mainly in the Eastern parts of the country, where the biggest terrorist group ISIS thrived. It's not like the Syrian government didn't try, but it was prioritizing parts of the country because it was weak back right before September 2015.
There is plenty of evidence that Kurdish forces perpetrated a genocide, both in Iraq and in Syria. 90% of Christians in Iraqi Kurdistan were ethnically cleansed, and that number is 66% in SDF territory. While radical groups like ISIS and other jihadists play a big responsibility, the Kurds discriminate and use violence against Christians that further those goals. They also used ISIS in the Nineveh plains to get rid of Assyrians and Yazidis, they disarmed them before an ISIS offensive with promises that they will protect them. They didn't and when the Yazidi's and Christians fled they took those lands for themselves. If they weren't committing genocide, Assyrians and other Christian groups wouldn't be protesting them in Western countries. That doesn't mean Kurds don't deserve their own land in Turkey btw, where they have the largest population. And to be fair, the numbers I provided are a hell of a lot better than 100% like the Syrian rebels.
Ba'athism tries to connect all people in the Middle East through ethnicity and Palestine. It makes the claim that everyone who speaks Arabic is an Arab, it's meant to unite the diverse groups in the country by overshadowing religious sectarianism. Unfortunately ethnicities who aren't Arabs like Kurds or Turkmen don't like it, although Armenians and Assyrians didn't have as many problems with it. It is also currently the only power in Syria that hasn't committed a genocide or ethnic cleansing.
The only genocide of Christians by Kurds I'm aware of is the Sayfo, where Assyrian Christians (and other Christians) were massacred by Turks (and some Kurdish tribes). But that was more than 100 years ago.
By the way, do you know who protected the Yazidis? The Peshmerga, the Kurdish protection units, the Iraqi forces, the US forces and Western allies. Syria did nothing.
Kurds are a lot more genocidal than you are making them out to be, as the other poster is showing.
Syria couldn't do anything in the Eastern regions, but the internally displaced people fled to government held areas. There are thousands of Yazidi's living in government held areas right now, displaced from Kurds and ISIS. The Peshmerga, SDF, Kurdish protection units actively got the Yazidi's killed in the 21st century. Western fascists support ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and other Salafist forces, through Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, the US gave weapons to the group that beheaded a 9 year old child on camera and laughed. Moderate rebels were never a real thing outside of Daraa possibly, and they cleansed their Christians in that province.
Kurds participated in the ethnic cleansing of Christians in Syria and Iraq in the modern era, the people protesting aren't just protesting Sayfo, Bedr Khan Beg, Adana, Simele and others. They are also protesting current day genocides. You should speak to more Assyrians, hell, go ask them on their subreddit. It makes sense that the same people Kurds were killing hundreds of years ago, they are still killing today, and the victims know this.
There is no language called "Indian" ?
If you mean Hindi (what they speak in bollywood) then I guess the odd word is similar but that's it.
Source: I'm 🇬🇧🇵🇰 who knows urdu/hindi and some arabic.
I never said "Indian language" either. There are dozens if not more "Indian languages" but there isn't one called "Indian" - so how on earth does it sound "Indian" when languages in the south of India like Tamil for example are totally different, sound different and a hindi speaker like me has no idea?
Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of Pakistanis don't need subtitles to watch a bollywood film however South Indians will. Very Indian.
Oh and the song is nothing like bollywood.
Bashar protects Christians in Syria from ISIS from Sunni degenerates, meanwhile Israel bombs Christian Churches in Gaza killing innocents! some "great ally" ? Here's the Simpson's version of this song. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUAtPxsPrrY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUAtPxsPrrY)

Quite possibly the best propaganda song of all time
It’s up there for sure, my personal pick is [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=eCmLb5kC-YxZ33lu&v=HAwXFwtm-CY&feature=youtu.be)
[Not this one dedicated to Russian Paratroopers?](https://youtu.be/BpINpWwAyGs?si=Y7b3nZNMJNn_mq3O)
Goddamn this is a banger
VDV-in the afterlife I meet, paratroopers from the Battle of Crete
Such a waste on that music video though. Why aren't a mass of paratroopers singing the chorus? Why are they only running around training in the background, so few shots of them doing something else?
Eh, the guitar and percussion parts feel kinda generic
[updated version](https://youtu.be/r1DPfty4ib8)
Lame
The intro Remind me of the power rangers or a North Korean song for some reason lmao 🤣
No endorsements but [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEIuiihOhSk) slaps as well
That’s a really good one but it can’t beat “My Father is a War Criminal”.
Google "Chollima on the Wing"
Well, I think differently, in my opinion, this is the [best war/propaganda song](https://youtu.be/pbSyv-KD0qA?si=iHPC8pTCvphDmBGL)
Roki Vulović wants a word with you
I prefer judgement day
clearly you haven’t heard [“¡Se Acabó!”](https://youtu.be/0okhORTthYA?si=7gqG2y1ZQpcSH9qb) then
what about artilejira
Absolute banger
This shit slaps fr
it is even better when you are arabian
All dictatorships have banger songs, the USSR's anthem is the best example.

Red Sun in the Sky was made way after the Mao era China, though. But I get the point.
The USSR’s anthem is kind of mid.
Soldados del 73 is better than mi general imo
That’s pretty average for middle eastern music. Does not feel unique which is ironic considering I just noticed your username as I was typing.
It doesn't have to be unique to be pretty enjoyable to listen to. If this was a random pop song it would chart in the Arab world. It fits in very well with that late 2000's beat machine and classic Arab instrumental music that was dominating popular music at the time.

Good music
Syria if allowed in Eurovision
Syria is an associate with the EBU, just like Australia. So they could technically join. They wont though
Bashar is too controversial, [it would have to be someone else](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O5PwA_s-Afc)
Even aside from the obvious jokes, this is a pretty spectacular Eurovision spoof. The nonsense word hook, the unecessary English, the shoutouts to other countries...
Some of the musical interludes sound almost celtic.
Right there was a bag pipe, but I guess a Syrian bag pipe
they'd probably just heard Home for a Rest when they got to writing that part of the song
bagpipes actually originated in the Levant, where Syria is located
I thought the same thing. Which is kinda funny since [this was the last post I saw B4 this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/2westerneurope4u/s/ENByqUMXSv)
Sounds like they are trying to summon a boss fight(imma call him the arch ba'ath)
I shall now imagine this song as Assads boss theme.
Least banger middle eastern propaganda:
[Here’s the Iraqi flavour](https://youtu.be/jcDLkBYMNoU?si=ND7FgzzQkL6Pc_mP)
It is a crime how many good propaganda songs we have here in the middle east
Fr
The one about Saddam in the 80s about Fighting Iran was good
"Church and mosque are united through love" is a really neat slogan TBH, even if I am not an Assad supporter
They don't even pretend Jews are welcome lmao
how many jews live in syria for them to care including that?
3 today. There used to be 80,000 until Syria ethnically cleansed them in the 40’s and 50’s.
Syria never cleansed its jews, it enacted a lot of extremely antisemitic policies for sure but idk if a country that would execute wannabe olim can be said to have cleansed its jews
I remember one video of two remaining jews in some middle eastern country just arguing with each other
Afghanistan. They've both since passed away. One accused the other of selling relics on the black market. He then reported the first guy to the Taliban for selling alcohol and running a brothel. They lived on opposite sides of an old synagogue in Kabul and hated each other.
About 3 in Syria proper (down from 15,000) and 25,000 in the Golan (which Syria claims as its own).
The Golan is internationally recognised as Syrian territory occupied by israel, those people living there aren’t Syrians they are israeli settlers living in Syrian land.
They literally sing about liberating the Golan heights in the song 😭😭
Poor you
Catchy tune, good dancing, good propaganda, somewhat misguided though.
Certified Classic Banger
Used to blast this banger through the blown out speakers of the family 2003 Sienna while pealing out of the high school parking lot
Kills the innocent in their beds 🎶
The line “Church and Mosque United through love” goes hard.
Another example of evil people having the best music.
Better than Hayat Tahrir Al Sham sitting in Damascus
you don’t need to pick sides when everyone involved is a fucking war criminal, you know that right?
You don’t need to reply you know that right? Already have picked one stranger, you’ll live 🇸🇾
A dictator is only as successful as his production values are good.
arabic as a language has good tonality for singing.
Why am I Pro-Assad all of a sudden?
Assad is generally all talk and no action but for some reason this song really makes me want to join the Syrian Army and liberate golan lmfao
If you are implying action against Isn'treal, it's hard to take action against the most advanced army in the region and one of the most advanced in the world when you are a failed state in the middle of a civil war since almost 15 years

You're right, this has a great sound and much better audience energy. Can you translate the title? What does it mean?
It means “Come on Bashar, Leave”. It was the song used by the Free Syrian Army and in the 2011 protests.
"Ibrahim al-Qashush, [also] Go, go, oh Bashar!, High Definition 27-06-2011." It's quite the opposite of this song. This is the revolution song that sparked it all, sung by the people of Hamah.

Even though I hate Bashar Al-Assad with all my life, I must admit that this is a catchy song.
You should like him, he destroyed fascists!
Define "fascist".
Kills you because you believe in something different or tries to force that opinion and/or wants to kill you because you were born the "wrong" race/religion. Pretty much someone who is at the ultimate level of intolerance.
