* This song is basically a series of Israeli sticker slogans. Everyone is represented here; from mainstreamers to extremists.
**Followed the Oslo Accords, when the Israeli government supplied guns to the Palestinian Authority for policing purposes. Some of the weapons were later found to have been used in terror attacks against Israeli civilians.
*** Relates to sweeping exemption from military service that is automatically granted to ultra-orthodox Jews.
**** Goes to explain to Israeli city-dwellers who perceive the conflict with Palestinians as "far away", that in fact "all Israel is Judea, Samaria and Gaza" (areas where most fighting occurs)
^ Famous slogan by Hasidic Jews, making reference to a famous Rabbi called Nachman, who hails from Uman, Ukraine.
^^ Points an accusing finger at the Israel Supreme Court, which is widely perceived as left-leaning
^^^ The Golan Heights is a disputed territory between Israel and Syria.
^^^^ Extreme Right wingers (e.g. the outlawed Kakh movement) called for expulsion of Arabs from Israel. This is known as The Transfer.
*^ Yarka is a northern Druze village that is known to be inexpensive for mandatory annual car check-ups ("tests").
*^* The "friend" is ex-PM Yitzhak Rabin. This bumper sticker alludes to President Bill Clinton's famous speech when visiting Israel for Rabin's funeral, when he said, in Hebrew, "shalom, haver" - goodbye, friend.
*^*^ Israel's political system is based on party-list proportional representation. It has been suggested (and implemented once) that Israelis cast two votes: for their party of choice (as was always the case) and PM candidate. This was known as the "direct elections".
***** Alludes to the "na-nakh-nakhma-nakhman from Uman" Hasidic slogan.
^^^^^ Word play by Israelis who support absolute separation of church/synagogue and state.
****** Word play alluding to Ariel Sharon's famous campaign slogan: Peace and Security.
^^^^^^ Hebron is a disputed territory between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It has rich Jewish history, but this line probably refers to the fact that it is home to Abraham's, Isaac's and Jacob's tombs. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are referred to as the Jewish people's "three fathers".
*^*^* Kahane was an ultra-right wing extremist leader, assassinated by an Egypt-born American.
*^*^*^ Refers to the Oslo Peace Accords of 1993. The "Oslo criminals" refers to the Israeli leaders who signed the accords.
******* Word play on the extreme right-wing slogan: "Death to Arabs" (מוות לערבים). Points an accusing finger at the loss of values in modern society.
^^^^^^^ Direct word play on Clinton's words on Yitzhak Rabin - turning them from words of friendship between the two leaders, to an accusation that Yitzhak Rabin's leftist policies have fueled deadly terror attacks and overall weakened the nation.
