INVINCIBLE "EMPEROR'S CLOTHES" (PROD. BY BEATNICK & K-SALAAM)

Calling for a straight up boycott and drawing on similarities to the divestment of South Africa which ultimately ended apartheid; Invincible is an MC of Jewish Israeli decent who represents a majority of people around the globe (Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc...) who do NOT support the Israeli government and their actions against the Palestinian people.

Hear her explanation of the song in her own words:

"So I wrote lyrics to K-Salaam and Beatnick’s beat that exposes the similarity between the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the Native American genocide, and the connection between the struggle for justice in Palestine and the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. Since writing the song, I've learned about even more connections–that the Israeli military has trained U.S. police forces such as the Atlanta Police Department and the Border Patrol. By boycotting Israel, we are also boycotting repressive police tactics in our cities and on our borders."



The following is a quote from Nelson Mandela:

“Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children.

The responses made by South Africa to human rights abuses emanating from the removal policies and apartheid policies respectively, shed light on what Israeli society must necessarily go through before one can speak of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and an end to its apartheid policies.” - Nelson Mandela
