Story behind the song
I know Israeli Arabs who can say "we have been in what was once called Canaan (than Palestine - now Israel) even before Christ. The book Ahasver the wandering Jew by the German Stephan Heim tells such a tale set in both Germany 1600 and Israel 1970 and the song which begins in English (the current empire) refers to Jacob (Genesis)- Yehoshua (and the episode of the Gibeonites) Jesus Christ (the Rabbi from Nazereth) Akiva , Mohammed (and Mubarek his horse), Salah A Din, and Richard the Lionheart and than , than switches to Hebrew and a Nye solo by Ittai Binnun and closes with a quote from an Israeli folk song which mentions Canaan.
