New Israeli Rap Song Makes Death Threats Against Celebrities

A new Israeli hip-hop duo called Ness Ve Stilla has stirred controversy with their song "Harbu Darbu." The track features a pro-Israel message and targets celebrities like Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Mia Khalifa for their pro-Palestine views. The song openly threatens the celebrities, which has drawn significant attention online, accumulating over 18 million views on YouTube. Khalifa responded to the track on Twitter, criticizing its message and musical style, pointing out the cultural appropriation of the drill beat being used in a context of violence.

However, the direct threats against individuals highlight a dangerous shift towards violence in political expression, raising alarms about celebrity safety in times of escalating tensions. The public reaction may also lead to further division within the entertainment community as artists navigate their political positions.
