| Were the Afro-Palestinians slaves?noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Nov 05:45 AM Last week one of the most famous black Palestinians, Fatima Bernawi | | Last week one of the most famous black Palestinians, Fatima Bernawi - who was imprisoned for trying to explode a bomb in a Jerusalem movie theater - died. She was buried in a large ceremony in Gaza. Most articles about "Afro-Palestinians" say a version of this legend of how they arrived: Devout Muslims, Africans from countries such as Chad, Sudan, Nigeria and Senegal, trekked across continents to perform the original Muslim pilgrimage of the Haj - first to Mecca, then to al-Aqsa. Such pilgrimages date back to as early as 636 AD, after Omar Ibn Khatab took Jerusalem from the Byzantine Empire. Some arrived, fell in love with the city and decided never to leave. A variant says that they mostly arrived in the 19th century: During the Ottoman era, Africans worked as custodians and guards of al-Aqsa Mosque – their role was to prohibit non-Muslims accessing the premises of Al-Haram Al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary and third holiest site in Islam. Many of them were Muslim immigrants from Chad, Sudan, Nigeria and Senegal who settled in Jerusalem in the nineteenth century after performing the pilgrimage to Mecca. I'm not so sure. I think that the majority...Read More |

Palestinian prime minister Mohamed Shtayyeh has arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh to participate in the COP27 climate conference.
As usual with these kinds of international meetings, the Palestinian intention is to try to hijack the conference into an anti-Israel sham.
His speech will "focus on the environmental challenges imposed by the Israeli occupation," according to the official Palestinian Wafa news agency.
Moreover, it says, Shtayyeh "will hold, on the sidelines of the summit, meetings with international officials on environmental and political issues and in order to mobilize support for the Palestinian cause."
Palestinians do this all the time - with literally every international conference they attend, whether the topic is women's rights, refugees, climate change, the world's oceans, children's rights, human rights, world heritage, and even COVID-19.
With virtually all of these, Palestinians are guilty of what they accuse Israel of doing.
You just know that the people who organize these conferences are really upset over Palestinians trying to make everything about them. But they cannot say anything about it because they don't want to be on the receiving end of that same hate. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing...Read More |
From Ian: Melanie Phillips: How Jew-hatred has to fit the narrative Last week, a Palestinian Arab terrorist murdered 50-year-old Israeli Ronen Hananya and injured 5 others. But Hananya was murdered in Kiryat Arba in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria, and so was considered a "settler". Since such Israelis are thus blamed for their own murder, Hananya's killing went unreported by western media. It was part of an escalating campaign of Palestinian Arab terror attacks in which 27 Israelis and others have been killed so far this year. Who can be surprised? For Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, has been calling on social media for "an escalation against the… settler herds". That is, Israeli Jews. Nazi-style antisemitic tropes demonising Jews constantly pour out of the PA. None of this is reported by the western media, which instead turns the Palestinian Arabs into martyred victims and the Israelis into their oppressors. The watchdog Honest Reporting has revealed that a letter published last month on the Jew-baiting website Mondoweiss, signed by more than 300 Palestinian and Arab reporters, supported several journalists who had posted pro-Hitler messages on social media. One signatory herself compared the Israel Defence Forces to Nazis. Another likened Jews to "dirt and rats" and, in response to a tweet about the death of a young Palestinian, replied...Read More |
I came across this snippet in an article in the Palestine Post, May 20, 1947: "Was it advisable to say in front of an international body that we hate the Jews because they are Jews?" asked thc Jaffa daily Ash-Shaab yesterday in its leading article. It is no secret that the Arabs were completely unprepared in their evidence before various inquiry Commissions , and also before the UN meeting, the paper stated. "We must select very carefully the people who are to defend us."
In short, Arab antisemitism was a given - the article admits that Arabs hate Jews because they are Jews - but allowing that hate to be shown in front of international bodies is not smart, because the other dhimmis aren't as tolerant of antisemitism as the Arabs are.
So the emphasis must be on how Arabs are welcoming to Jews and treat them well, and it is only Zionism that they have a problem with.
Indeed, two months later the Arab delegates to the UNSCOP meeting insisted that there was no discrimination against Jews in Arab countries, and even that the Mufti of Jerusalem was not a Nazi supporter. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

Ra'am party leader Mansour Abbas says that allowing Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount "will lead to war."
Threatening war is a time-honored Muslim tradition, and even though they have made such threats hundreds of times over the past 150 years without any resulting war occurring, it never fails to frighten the West. I noted that Rabbi Eric Yoffie, former leader of the US Reform Judaism movement, has himself campaigned against Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount because he is frightened of a holy war.
Equal rights is important - but submitting to constant Muslim threats of war is more important.
Can you imagine anyone saying that Blacks shouldn't have equal rights because white supremacists would resort to violence?
It is outrageous - but that is mainstream thinking when it comes to Jewish rights to the holiest Jewish spot.
Fortunately, we know that Jews have been praying on the Temple Mount from the early days of Muslim rule, without any war breaking out.
The Los Angeles Times noted that Jews visiting the Temple Mount would sometimes pray aloud...Read More |
