Mos Def's 2004 album The New Danger featured the controversial song, "The Rape Over", a parody of Jay-Z's The Blueprint hit "The Takeover" which provides a list of influential forces he sees running the hip hop music industry, Mos Def thus refers to Cohen, rapping that "some tall Israeli is runnin' this rap shit":
Old white men is runnin' this rap shit,
Corporate forces runnin' this rap shit,
Some tall Israeli is runnin' this rap shit,
We poke out our asses for a chance to cash in.
Cocaine, is runnin' this rap shit,
'Dro, 'yac and e-pills is runnin this rap shit,
MTV is runnin' this rap shit,
Viacom is runnin' this rap shit,
AOL and Time Warner runnin' this rap shit,
Quasi - homosexuals is runnin' this rap shit.
High-placed executives temporarily made Mos take the song off releases of the album, citing clearance issues with Jay-Z and The Doors, a band which the song samples. The song has been called anti-Semitic for its veiled reference to Jewish record executive Lyor Cohen (the "tall Israeli" who then was head of the The Island Def Jam Music Group), and homophobic for its reference to "quasi-homosexuals."
In similar situations referring to what happened to Mos Def, a Tall Israeli is a member of the secret cabal of individuals who really control the rap music industry. This aids to shed light on Mos Def's album subsequently being pulled from the record store shelves and edited to remove any mention of Tall Israelis.

Get the Tall Israeli mug.Israas are known for their bodies, eyebrows, eyes and hair. Israas are usually queens and chase after no one. Boys try hard to win her, so if u have an Israa keep her!!

Get the got Israeled mug.a) The act of carrying a firearm with a loaded magazine inserted but no round in the chamber.
b) If using an open bolt design, the act of carrying a firearm with the bolt closed and a loaded magazine inserted.
Using this method, if the user wishes to fire the weapon, they must first actuate the slide/ charging handle.
This technique was made popular by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF used this technique to insure there pistols wouldn't go off after being dropped or hit. However, most modern pistols are designed to be drop safe, making Israeli carry for modern pistols obsolete.
Israeli carry is useful when carrying a firearm that has an open bolt design. To prevent failures it is imperative to keep the bolt closed. When the bolt is left open for extended periods of time, dust and other particles can accumulate causing the weapon to fail.
