Bob Dylan & Israel, The Neighborhood Bully

It may not be his best song, but Dylan’s 1983 song about Israel is surprisingly resonant today.

This album came out when I was in high school and I immediately totally fell in love with this song. It is truly amazing that it has become even more relevant through the years. When I used to DJ, I’d play it sometimes (even though almost no one but me knew what it was about) to show both my pride in being Jewish, and in Israel.

If you want to listen to it, you can copy and paste this:
