Dylan son-in-law defends Israel in song.

Jonathan Mark
I New York Jewish Week

I

srael has had some terrific war
songs, going back to 1948's
Palmach marching song and
1967's "Jerusalem of Gold:' per-
formed for the first time as an elegy
in May of that year but transformed
into a celebratory psalm three weeks
later after the Six-Day War.
The greatest English song sup-
porting an embattled Israel is Bob
Dylan's blistering, sarcastic and yet
poetic "Neighborhood Bully" of
1983, written in the wake of Israel's
leveling of an Iraqi nuclear reactor
and of the 1982 Lebanon war.
Late last month, Dylan's son-in-
law Peter Himmelman delivered
his own sly and sarcastic rocker,
"Maximum Restraint," defending
Israel in its war with Hamas in Gaza.
Himmelman, 54, who in a rela-
tively quiet but acclaimed career has
been nominated for a Grammy and
an Emmy, explained in a Huffington
Post blog (July 24) that if Israel has
the right to exist, then Israel has
the right, and is even "required," to
mount "a legitimate defense against
a regime that is focused on the mur-
der of Jews."
He says "false moral relativism"
between Israel and the Palestinians
— equating Hamas' deliberate tar-
geting of innocent civilians with
Israel's retaliatory strikes against the
terror group's infrastructure — "cre-
ates [the] vacuum in which Jewish
people die — with the seeming full
consent of the world" — a world
that taunts Israel to use "maximum
restraint?'
In "Maximum Restraint,"
Himmelman sings: "They're shoot-
ing Grads and Qassams, from hos-
pitals, mosques and schools./ When
they photograph their dead and
dying, Hamas just sits and drools./

Another photo-op to take, take
straight to CNN./ They paint Israel
as the aggressor — and then it all
begins again:'
In his blog, Himmelman reminds
readers of Israel's pullout from Gaza
nine years ago, how Israel left Gaza
with "$14 million worth of hydro-
ponic flower factories, tens of build-
ings and schools left intact, plans
for parks, a railroad, a seaport, an
airport, even a zoo ... all these plans
were laid for the Gazans to begin the
construction of their own state. As
you well know, none of it happened
and not because of anything Israel
did to prevent it from happening."
He adds, "Just so we're all clear
about history: [Israel's] 'blockade'
of Gaza didn't begin until the flower
gardens were razed and turned into
launching sites, until tunnels were
dug and munitions brought in from
Iran and Sudan and until the rockets
started raining on the Jews in south-
ern Israel:'
Himmelman sings: "We gave them
back Gaza and they started their
missile attacks./ Then they went
cryin' to the U.N. when Israel hit
them back./ Too few Jews have died,
there must be something wrong./
Israel must be cheating, it's not fair
that they're so strong:'
Verses like that echo
"Neighborhood Bully?' when Dylan
sings: "He's not supposed to fight
back, he's supposed to have thick
skin./ He's supposed to lay down and
die when his door is kicked in:'
Himmelman writes that his
20-something son Isaac tried to con-
sole him by comparing the Jewish
situation to that time before Israel's
founding when Jews were powerless.
Today, he writes, the challenge is
how much power to wield.
For supporters of Israel, says
Himmelman, "that is consolation
indeed:'
