Gadot (Hebrew: גָּדוֹת, lit. Banks) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Hula Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Upper Galilee Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 381.
Gadot (pronounced "guh-dote") was founded in 1949 on the site of the destroyed moshava of Mishmar HaYarden by Nahal youth from HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed and Holocaust survivors. It was named Gadot due its proximity to the banks of the Jordan River.
During the 1950s and 1960s the kibbutz suffered from several assaults by the Syrian army and was hit by many artillery bombardments. On 7 April 1967, when 6 Syrian MiGs were shot down, the kibbutz suffered a severe bombardment during which almost all of its buildings were hit. Two months later, during the Six-Day War, the kibbutz was once again bombarded and most of its buildings were destroyed or badly damaged. The state of the kibbutz and the turn-point of the war are perpetuated in a song performed by Hava Alberstein - Daughter are you laughing or crying. During the Yom Kippur War the kibbutz was hit once again, although to a lesser extent.
Pathetic lies spewing from their hearts
A plague of weakness kept alive for too long
It's consuming and killing the people
Searching for cure in a god of the waste
Praying to idols so old and rotten
I, the snake, let me offer alternatives
Celebrate, the majestic self – Antichristianity
This is my unreligion – Antichristianity
Hereby I present a new age
An era of darkness to swallow the false
Blessed be thee who speaks with tongues of fire
Trample the cross and Crumble the corpse
blaspheme the old, let nothing stop you
Open the gates to self preservation
Unfold in liberty
Death to god, death to Jesus
Put an end to their miserable world
Death to god, death to Jesus
We are as mighty as gods
Death to god, death to Jesus
Put an end to their miserable world
Death to god, death to Jesus
