Editing Protest song (section)

===Palestine===
[[Palestinian music]] ({{langx|ar|موسيقى فلسطينية}}) deals with the conflict with Israel, the longing for peace, and the love of the Palestinians' land.  A typical example of such a song is "[[Biladi, Biladi]]" (My Country, My Country), which has become the unofficial [[Palestinian national anthem]]. Additionally, there are very few Palestinian peace songs that do not indict Israel, and outwardly militaristic. Certain commentators have compared this with the general unwillingness of Palestinians to speak about internal problems, as they tend to be taboo in Palestinian society, and dissent is outlawed in [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]], under [[Hamas]] control.

Another example is the song "Al-Quds (Jerusalem) our Land", with words by [[Sharif Sabri]]. The song, sung by [[Amr Diab]] from [[Port Said]], [[Egypt]], won first prize in 2003 in a contest in Egypt for video clips produced in the [[Palestinian territories|West Bank and Gaza]].<ref name="Babnik">{{cite book|title=Musical View on the Conflict in the Middle East|publisher=Jerusalem: Minerva Instruction and Consultation Group|year=2006|isbn=978-965-7397-03-9|editor1=Babnik|editor2=Golani}}Lyrics by Ali Ismayel.</ref> [[DAM (band)|DAM]] is an [[Arabic hip-hop]] group, [[rapping]] in Arabic and [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] about the problems faced by Palestinians under occupation and calling for change. [[Kamilya Jubran]]'s song "Ghareeba", a setting of a poem by [[Khalil Gibran]], deals with a sense of isolation and loneliness felt by the Palestinian woman.
