To whom ever wrote this article. Thanks! I'm working on a blog post about Habash and will cite it.

I have no knowledge of Habash, but the second paragraph seems to be incorrect. It credits Habash with writing a well known rap based on bumper stickers. The NY Times article cited, however, credits the composition of that song to Israeli Author "David Grossman" and the performance & popularization of that song to the group Hadag Nachash. The second sentence goes on to comment on how, through this song, Habash "subtly criticizes societal aggression and calls for compassion and tolerance." The citation provided, for Yael Korat, does not support this comment. While Habash is discussed in the article, he is not discussed in the context of the sticker song. He is discussed in the context for his representation of Israeli Ethiopian interests. It appears that the article author may have accidentally confused Habash for Hadag Nashash. I would propose striking the second paragraph and citation 4, the NY Times citation. I would add a statement about Habash's development of a "hip hop seminar with the goal of empowering Ethiopian immigrant youths" and use citation 5. I'm happy to do this. What do you think? Am I misunderstanding the article? Do you have another citation that ties Habash to the sticker song?

I also propose adding the the fact that Habash was recently the subject of the 2009 Israeli film "Chidren of the Bible" directed by Nitza Gonen. ^{[1] [2]}
