In the 20th C Westerners switched from viewing the Arab world (Orient) from a scholarly Arab perspective, to a Zionist (European colonial) one. Westerners today only see Arabs through a skewed Western lens, and a deeply hostile and distorted one at that.

Ok, if I have this story correct, an American citizen with Palestinian heritage, married a nice boy from #India with a PhD in Middle Eastern Peace Studies. The girl says pro #Palestine things on her social media, but the boy, Badar Khan Suri, is fairly circumspect in his public statements. The people using #Jews as an excuse to attack #Arabs realize they can’t deport the American (yet), but they can deport her husband, even though he’s done nothing wrong.

Everyone needs to realize that the goal of the neonazis is to turn all of us against each other. They will use any excuse, and blame any other group to get away with atrocities. It’s trans people and Palestinians and Hispanics today, it’s gonna be Catholics, Jews and Leftists next, if history is any indication.

🧵 3/3: The fact #NoOtherLand, made by 2 #Palestinians & 2 #Israelis, went on to win an #Oscar answers the ‘then what’ question at the end of the film: a model for an #apartheid-free state where #Arabs & #Jews live/work in #peace. A vision shared by an increasing number of #Jews around the world (anti #zionist #Jewish bloc at demos) & in #Israel (check out #Israelism, a film about zionist indoctrination, or the Standing Together movement instagram.com/standing.togethe).

The #ICE #raids have started. Reports are coming in from across the country that ICE is also detaining #Americans, #NativeAmericans, #Indians, #EastAsians, #Arabs, and anyone else with a skin shade darker than cream.

Diné elder James Jackson, an honored activist in the #Navajo community, said “No one is illegal on stolen land."

If, like me, you might be confused for an immigrant because you don't look like a German poster from the 1930s, always have your ID on you.

Always.

Do not open the door to law enforcement that does not have a warrant, not even to talk. Put the hotline numbers in your phone. Find a local #immigration attorney, contact her and ask if you can call her if you run into problems with ICE. She shouldn't need a retainer as you're not officially setting up a relationship, just preparing in case.

“In November 1989, while #Netanyahu served as a junior minister in Shamir’s government, he spoke at Bar-Ilan University, the academic mecca of religious nationalism in Israel. He said:

“#Israel should have taken advantage of the suppression of the demonstrations in #China in #Tiananmen Square, when the world’s attention was focused on what was happening in that country, to carry out #mass #expulsions among the #Arabs of the territories.“

"We have been in #Palestine for twelve years [i.e., since the #Balfour Declaration] without having even once made a serious attempt at seeking through negotiations the consent of the #indigenous people,” he wrote... We have set ourselves goals which by their very nature had to lead to conflict with the #Arabs. We ought to have recognized that these goals would be the cause, the just cause, of a national uprising against us."

🔴 📖 The Queens of the Arabs During the Neo-Assyrian Period

_Whereas previous scholarship has considered the Queens of the Arabs in relation to the military and economic history of the Neo-Assyrian empire, Eleanor Bennett focuses on identity, using gender theory to locate points of the women’s alterity in Assyrian sources and to analyze how Assyrian cultural norms influenced the treatment of the “Queens of the Arabs._

www.eisenbrauns.orgThe Queens of the Arabs During the Neo-Assyrian Period By Ellie BennettThe title “Queen of the Arabs” is applied in Neo-Assyrian texts to five women from the Arabian Peninsula. These women led armies, offered tribute, and held religious roles in their communities from 738 to approximately 651 BCE. This book discusses what the title meant to the women who carried it and to the Assyrians who wrote about them.

It's a new day (CET) so one extra post. Here footage from the Maccabi fans 'singing' the complete 'song' after landing on Ben Gurion airport. Lyrics:

"Ole ole
Ole ole ole
Let the IDF win and fuck the Arabs
Ole ole
Ole ole ole
Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there"

This is what is defended by the status quo. Framing into a fake pogrom. Let's not accept this folks!

Final post about this for today. The Kristallnacht remembrance tomorrow in Amsterdam is canceled. It was organized by the Jewish anti-Zionist organisation Erev Rav and Platform Stop Racisme. See the attached slides by Erev Rav for an explanation.

✏️ edit: Sorry to edit this (lot of boosts), but I like to have your attention for this related post from an hour ago: todon.nl/@joenepraat/113454654 🙏🏻

The city of Amsterdam deserves better. Erev Rav strongly condemns the Amsterdam police's handling of recent events involving football fans over two consecutive nights in the city. We are deeply concerned that instead of restraining groups who caused disturbances in the city - including tearing down Palestinian flags from private residences and engaging in racist chanting - the police allowed the situation to escalate into widespread street violence. It is troubling that arrests were selective, primarily targeting local Moroccan youth who confronted these groups, while Maccabi fans who initiated provocations faced no consequences.
The media portrayal of these events as an unprovoked antisemitic attack on peaceful football supporters does not reflect the full context. The visiting fans engaged in provocative behavior, destroying private property, intimidating passerby’s, carrying flares, gathering in the city center, and directing inflammatory racist and violent chants at locals. Many were recently discharged soldiers, active in the genocide in Gaza. Their conduct at the football match itself was also more than controversial, as they refused to observe the minute of silence for Valencia flood victims. One cannot engage in violent and disruptive actions and then cry ‘antisemitism’ to avoid accountability. Our identities do not exist to absolve our actions. We find this weaponization of Jewish safety incredibly alarming.
We believe that more appropriate police intervention against the initial disturbances by the Maccabi football fans combined with a clear stance from the city, mobilizing to disperse gatherings where violent racist, Islamophobic and homophobic things were being shouted (in the public space) could have prevented the subsequent escalation of violence.
This chain of events leads us to announce the cancellation of our Kristallnacht remembrance moment tomorrow- which would take place in Amsterdam. Given the current volatile situation- the heavy presence of Zionist Israelis in the city with the intent of continuing acts of violence, we cannot in good faith, guarantee the minimum safety of our speakers and attendees, particularly those most vulnerable in our communities. It is deeply disappointing that this violence has disrupted Jewish community life in Amsterdam, preventing us from holding this important memorial event.

More comprehensive footage from Embassy of Justice with the following text:

"Chants echo through the streets of Amsterdam, loud, clear, and passionate. And with absolute impunity.

‘Let the IDF win to f*** the Arabs,’ and ‘There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left,’ as part of a longer song. (If you identify other chants in the reel, DM us)

Now the IDF is sending a rescue team to Amsterdam, so it’s said. One does everything to keep controlling the narrative of being the victims. Will they care more about their hooligans than their hostages, or are the rescue helicopters also a lie?

FIFA, UEFA, Ajax, Ajax players, the mayor, fans, airlines, hotels, restaurants, bars, NS, GVB, and broadcasters all could have stood up for human rights and prevented the drama. But they seem to care more about whatever it is they care about.

This was Amsterdam’s second invitation this year to people committing genocide. Who’s next? Is the King inviting Bibi for Christmas dinner?

For now, olé, olé—Amsterdam’s streets will soon be safe again 🤞🏽"

"For Palestinians, humanisation has indeed been conditional—tied to their ability to fit Western narratives, whether through language, media portrayals or appeals to shared values that the Global North deems acceptable. A striking example is Bisan Owada’s series for AJ+, where she documents her daily life under Israel’s bombardment, often having to convey her story in ways that resonate with Western audiences"

Can the West ever Humanize the Arabs?
juancole.com/2024/10/west-huma

Informed Comment · Can the West ever Humanize the Arabs?by Hissa Al Thani ( Middle East Monitor ) - To be humanised is to be recognised as worthy of life, respect and the fundamental right to be seen and heard. Yet, for Arabs, this acknowledgement has persistently been withheld, rendering their humanity invisible in the global narrative. Arabs have long been cast beneath the weight of dehumanising labels—“terrorists,” “violent,” “oppressive,” “uncivilised.” These narratives, woven into the very fabric of Western media and culture, strip away our humanity. This is the legacy of Orientalism, a concept defined by Edward Said, the Palestinian-American scholar and activist. He described it as the
