#anti arabism

[allthegeopolitics]

Despite the Democrats losing the popular vote in the election to the Republicans for the first time since 2004 - and by more than five million votes - many pro-Kamala Harris social media users aimed their frustrations at pro-Palestine voters, specifically Arabs and Muslims, on Wednesday.

Although many Arab and Muslim Americans voted for the Green Party’s Jill Stein, she received only 0.4 percent of the national total, amounting to 628,525 votes. This is less than half of what Stein received in 2016 when she received 1,449,370 votes.

Former President Donald Trump overperformed across the electorate. The Financial Times reported that Trump gained ground in all but two states, specifically among those in the working class who care most about the economy and immigration.

Even if Harris had managed to win Michigan in the electoral college, which is home to a significant Muslim and Arab voting bloc, she would have still lost the election.

"Asian, Black, Hispanic and white voters all moved towards Trump. "Harris only increased her vote share among the over-65s and with white college-educated women," the FT report said. [...]

What some bitch on French TV said: Maghrebis girls force themselves to have bad grades at school cause if they have good grades their brothers and parents beat them up telling them “You think you’re white?”

The reality: Algeria has the highest rate of women engineers in the world (48,5%). Tunisia and Morocco are also above 40% (France is at 26% and Canada is under 20%). In Algeria 51,7% of general practitioners are women. 49,7% of specialized doctors are women. 60 to 65% of the Algerian lawyers are women. 47% of the Algerian judges are women. Algerian women represent 63% of the students in university/college in Algeria. To compare it with the whole population of the country women represent 49,5% of the Algerian population.

So really it would be nice if Islamophobic pieces of shit could keep us out of their mouths. It’s not just white people it’s also diaspora from some non Maghrebi SWANA countries. I will support your fight against your extremist government but your parents being forced to leave Iran or Egypt because of the fucked up governments there doesn’t give you the right to spread Islamophobia in France. Especially not when you always make sure to name Maghrebi countries so the fall out is only on us and never on you.

Note: I’m mentioning Algeria specifically in my stats because we are the biggest diaspora in France. So when they target “Maghrebi” Algerians are the biggest targets.

[...] “God knows I see this in the national assembly every day, the construction of this other, this other who is North African, who is Muslim, who is Black, who is Indigenous, and whose culture, by definition, would be dangerous or inferior,” Bouazzi told the audience earlier this month.

He was called to order by the party’s two co-spokespeople, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois and Ruba Ghazal, who claimed that his statements were “clumsy, exaggerated and polarizing.” But Bouazzi didn’t back down, and during a radio interview on Radio-Canada Friday, he accused ministers Christian Dubé and Lionel Carmant of blaming immigrants for putting strain on health care and social services. [...]

The Coalition Avenir Québec has drafted a motion demanding that Mr. Bouazzi withdraw his remarks and apologize to all members of the legislature “who were targeted by his accusations of racism.” The opposition Liberals and Parti Québécois have also drafted motions calling on the legislature to affirm that its members are not racist. [...]

Party members gathered at a convention on Sunday appeared to be divided on the issue. Eleven Québec solidaire constituency associations publicly supported Bouazzi and called on the party to adopt a resolution denouncing what they described as a smear campaign against him. [...]

Note from the poster @el-shab-hussein: if you didn't quite catch that, a Québec legislature ministre of Arab and North African origin got coerced by every party - including his own - into rescinding his comments about the racism he experiences and sees everyday from the Québec legislative assembly and its legislation. Québec is a gutter of racism and it will continue to fester with no end in sight as the fascism mounts and everyone refuses to acknowledge who the principle targets are.

You're a zionist Arab Jew? Are you also a member of the Snow Leopards Eating My Face party? Are you white passing enough that zionists don't know you're Arab or do you just hate yourself? Are you unaware of the unabashed anti Arab racism that Israelis spout out every day on social media? Or do you think you're just "one of the good ones"?

Time for everyone's favorite game show!

"What deranged shit in Clownie's inbox today!"

To turn to a more serious note, Whilst I do not not live in Israel, my family does.

My family have only faced minimal racism for being arab, mainly stuff back in school years ago. I do not speak for all arab jews or even all Arabs in Israel, but that is mu family's experience. Just schoolyard racist teasing which is obviously not a good thing, but isn't a problem anymore than anywhere else in the world.

My family has full rights as other arab citizens do and other jews do.

Most jews I speak to have no problem with me being arab too. Do anti arab jews exist? Probably as no group is a monolith. I have just not encountered any yet, which is again, just my experience.

Zionism is also not an anti arab ideology inherently. Zionism literally just means wanting self determination in Southern Levant. That looks like a lot of different things, however most jews who are zionist believe in either a two state solution or a land for all solution which allows for jewish self determination and Palestinian self determination.

I think it's also important for me to say that I do not know which arab country my arabness comes from due to my family being told to "leave or die" a few generations back because they were also jewish. I really wish that history had not been forgotten in the past 4 generations but it has.

When it comes to my appearance, is white passing something you ask every other poc on this site? Or just arab jews.

For your information, I am not white passing, I look mixed. People can tell that I'm not white. I have faced anti arab sentiment and racism before too because of how I look. I've even had someone think I was the cousin of an arab acquaintance too if that gives you a better idea surrounding my appearance.

I would have a better time in Israel as an arab jew than I would in most arab countries as an arab jew. Also there is a decent community of arab jews in Israel as well.

Lastly I would like to leave you with this, if your world view is threatened by an arab jew being a two state solution zionist, then your world view is weak and not at all based in reality.

I an arab jew, am holding hands with all other arab jews, non Jewish arab and non arab jews. Fuck off with your arabs vs jews rhetoric

A Closed Death Zone

Israeli ex-hostage Yocheved Lifshitz says Hamas offered to unconditionally release her & another woman in the earliest days of the war, but Israel refused.

Hamas then said they would drop them at the borders with Israel, but the IDF had declared that area a closed “death zone”!

Scott Hayes has been a fixture of zionist counterprotests all over Massachusetts. He is known for habitual doxing, harassment, making violent threats on and off social media, and flashing his gun at anti-genocide activists. A number already have orders of protection against him. He was recently involved in the doxing of a Brookline teacher, resulting in her getting many death threats.

During a zionist standout in Newton on September 13, he shot Caleb Gannon, a Jewish pro-Palestine resident after Gannon ran across a street and tackled Hayes, enraged by their taunts and hateful rhetoric. Hayes shot him in the stomach as they fought on the ground, and two of Hayes’ friends continued to stomp on Gannon’s neck and chest after he was shot.

Hayes’ GoFundMe has not yet been taken down despite it being against their terms of service to raise funds for the legal defense of a violent crime (rule 8.10).

The pro-Palestine activists of Massachusetts would be grateful if you could join us in reporting this fundraiser to GFM for this violation. He should not be allowed to profit off terrorizing anti-genocide activists.

Here’s his fundraiser URL: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-scott-hayes-legal-defense

Here’s the link to report it to GFM for violating Terms of Service:

And here’s suggestions on how to fill out the report:

Palestinian-Canadian Ahmed Kouta still hasn't been retrieved from Ghazzah by the Canadian authorities. He is still being subjected to collective punishment, to genocide, and to psychological torture such as this. As of February 5th 2024.

Mélanie Joly, Justin Trudeau, and all other ministers responsible for this, you are fucking ghouls. If they weren't Palestinian, they wouldn't been retrieved by now. Its been since fucking NOVEMBER that the government said they would do something about this. No. Palestinians have to spend 122 days under genocide. We are 2 months into the following year. Nothing has changed.

Fuck Canada. Fuck the U.S. Fuck the occupation. We will never forgive these evil entities for what they've done.

Something which really gets me is people who think "jews should just put up with antisemitism because some of the antisemites are doing beneficial things for Palestine"

It just really annoys me as it feels like people are saying "oh we can only have good things for Palestinians or for Jews" which is a bad mentalility. Jews and Palestinians should both not be treated poorly. We shouldn't be trading one groups safety for the others. It will never lead to peace in Southern Levant or in the diaspora. It will just lead to one group suffering majorly or even both groups taking turns at suffering depending on which group is "in favour" at any given time.

It just makes me think that people don't want jews and palestinians to coexist.

And its also like, not hard to uplift creators and voices who are not antisemitic too. Why do the antisemitic creators only get uplifted? There are people out there who, if they had the same audience size, could do the same beneficial things for Palestine without any antisemitism.

It also makes me think about the after-effects too. Like when war and suffering ends , you will just have a bunch of antisemites with huge platforms. And what will happen will not be good.

I will like to end this with, whilst this post is mainly talking about antisemitism, it also applies to anti arab. anti palestinian and/or islamphobic sentiment too. We should not be uplifting antisemites or people who are anti arab/anti palestinian

Israel Is A deMOCKracy

What happened to “diversity”?

Israel is an Apartheid Entity!

If that’s the case, then jews shouldn’t be allowed to live in predominantly Christian and Muslim nations.

JUNE 21 2024- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Texas) is calling on law enforcement authorities to investigate the attempted murder of a Palestinian mother and her two young children as a hate crime.

On May 19th, a Texas woman attempted to drown two Palestinian children and their mother in a pool. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Texas) is calling on law enforcement authorities to investigate the incident as a hate crime.

"The alleged attack (Euless PD report 24-00022036) reportedly occurred on Sunday, May 19th, at the family’s apartment complex swimming pool area.  Mrs. H, the mother, who wears hijab (Islamic head scarf) and modest swimwear, was watching her children in the shallow end of the pool when a White American woman entered the swimming pool area." "The alleged attacker reportedly approached the mother with racist interrogations then jumped into the swimming pool and grabbed the children to the deep end of the pool to allegedly drown them." "The mother reported jumping into the pool to save her children. According to the mother, her 6-year-old-son was able to escape, but her petite 3-year-old daughter was unable. The alleged attacker snatched off the mother’s head scarf and used it to beat the mother as well as kicking her to keep her away while forcing her daughter’s head underwater." "Mrs. H stated that an African American man helped rescue her daughter from the attacker and more people gathered and witnessed. Cuffed and taken away by the police officer, the attacker reportedly shouted to a bystander woman who was calming the mother down “Tell her I will kill her, and I will kill her whole family.”

"A recent CAIR report says it received more than 8,000 complaints of anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian in 2023 – a 56% increase over previous year - and the highest the number has been in 28 years"

I have rightly so seen some Zionist talk about how crazy it is for ppl who took part in oct 7th be celebrated and how that’s bad.

While I totally agree with this, how is this any different to when idf soldiers film themselves in the ruins of ppls houses or dress up in the clothes of probably dead Palestinians or brag and get celebrated for killing and raping Palestinians.

Genuinely I would like to ask how it’s any different
