"Depressing State is a Rape State": Watch the Israeli version of the protest song "rap in your way"

Dozens of women took part in the Tel Aviv Museum and Yesterday square on Zion Square in Jerusalem to produce Israeli versions of the Chilean protest song against rape culture and shaming victims, "Un Violador en Tu Camino", which recently became a feminist anthem of protesters across the world. The song was unveiled in November as part of the social protest in Chile. Subsequently, he and his accompanying dance movements gained momentum in South America and around the world, performing in demonstrations in Mexico, Colombia, Spain, France and the United Kingdom.

The Hebrew version of the song includes the lines: "And I'm not guilty, not what I wore, where it happened", "Hans is you, the police, the judges, the state, the president and the prime minister. A depressing state is a rape state" (see below for The full lyrics of the song). Watch the video (above) and the pictures (below).

The original song was created by a feminist theater group in Valparaiso, Chile, and its words describe how the body of the establishment - the police, the courts and the government - continues to violate women's rights. The dance that accompanies the song includes a squat movement because protesters arrested in the South American state are required to kneel for this posture, and the protesters see it as punishment and torture.

The lyrics of the Hebrew version of the song "En route in your way" (Hebrew version: Diana Baron)

Patriarchy is a judge,
Judge us from birth,
And the punishment is,
The violence you did not see.
Patriarchy is a judge,
Judge us from birth,
And the punishment is,
The violence you did not see.
Murder of women
And protecting the killers
Women are gone
It's the rape.
And I'm not guilty, not what I wore, where it happened
And I'm not guilty, not what I wore, where it happened
And I'm not guilty, not what I wore, where it happened
And I'm not guilty, not what I wore, where it happened
Hans is you
Hans is you
the police
the judges
The state
The President and the Prime Minister.
A depressing state is a rape state
A depressing state is a rape state
Hans is you
Hans is you
Nomi Nomi, an innocent girl,
Without worrying about the robber,
Your dreams, sweet and smiling,
The cops don't keep.
Hans is you
Hans is you
Hans is you
Hans is you
