Existence is Resistance

Existence is Resistance Topical songs from all eras together with some beautiful Palestinian music.      Protesting war & the inhumane behavior of a cabal of corrupt Israel-centric heads of government.

The legacy of these ancient songs and commentaries on the events they portray have long been championed by folk singers & musicians while politically-minded punk bands in turn looked to the them for inspiration, passing on the tradition & messages to wider audiences & subsequent generations Songs from as long back as the Great Revolt 1381 & Digger's Rebellion 1649, then the war years, Miners Strike 1984, Poll Tax 1990 & the CJB 1990s and songs that record numerous other events & atrocities.
