He could be trying to say tarab, which is an actual thing in Arabic music, but most likely he was stupid and misspelled rap as there is quite a bit of Turkish and Arabic rap. In fact, given his obsession with Palestine right now he's probably listening to someone like DAM, and lumping all Middle Eastern countries together because all brown people look alike to him.
The funny part is he included Bulgarian, since I've seen a lot of websites linking stuff like chalga and turbo folk as "Middle Eastern." To be sure, Balkan music does have a lot of the same roots and influences as neighboring Middle Eastern countries (centuries of Ottoman occupation will do that to you) but Bulgaria specifically is no more unique in that regard than Macedonia, Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, Albania or any other Balkan country. That's why I think Phil is getting this stuff from some website or blog.
Also notice that Phil left out the Kurds, because he's a racist cishet white supremacist shit lord who wants to screw over the PKK and the women of the YPJ! Typical capitalist scum!
Interesting. Looks like he's doubling down on the Palestinian imagery. Perhaps he is going to pretend to be Arab next after all. The real pirates of the Mediterranean were the Barbary pirates based out of Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers and other North African ports. Incidentally, quite a few of them were white Europeans who renounced Christianity and revered to Islam (hence where the term renegade came from) and at least one of the more famous ones was an Italian. The most infamous of the lot was an ethnic Albanian who earned the moniker Barbarossa (red beard) because of his red hair. Perhaps Phil is hinting at something? Again, more likely he just assumes all brown people are the same. It's especially ironic as the Palestinian coast was pretty well settled and tamed by the Ottomans since they conquered the entire region (along with Egypt and the Hijaz) from the Mamluks in 1516. North Africa always remained somewhat lawless because it was further from the Ottoman centres of power and harder to govern (not to mention it was a convenient tool against the rival Catholic powers like Spain, Venice and Genoa who also wanted a chunk of the Mediterranean).
On the other hand, it's also the title to a song by Connie Prince and the Keystones, though that seems wildly out of Phil's cultural milieu...
Holy shit they're all as delusional as Phil! I thought this was a term he adopted to sound badass not realizing how cringe it sounds. I never had a lot of regard or respect for Antifa in the first place, I have even less now. This is a whole organization of roleplaying wannabees.
