"We're Not White" - a film by Amer Zahr​



You have a hard time understanding things.

Two decades ago, or so, some Europeans decided to abandon Caucasian for White.

It made all who are considered to be Caucasian, Europeans, Arabs, Indians, Jews, Iranians, etc into "White".

Linda Sarsour calls herself White .

How to change the "White" back into Caucasian is the question.

Otherwise, all Caucasians are going to continue to be
"White "
 
Here's an article that is utterly unremarkable - yet it is a message that is very rarely written in Arabic language media.

Elaph is considered a liberal Arab newspaper published in London. Today, Fadel Al-Mansafa wrote that Israel needs to make concessions for peace - and so do Palestinians.

His specific ideas are not as important as the possibility of Arabs reading this message that is commonplace in English and Hebrew, and incredibly rare in Arabic media:
Should hundreds of Palestinians die and starve in order for the idea of Hamas to live, which sees no place for Jews in Palestine? Should hundreds of thousands of Israelis live in fear of rocket attacks from Gaza?

Where is the humanity in all that is going on!? And for how long will we continue with the same methods that lead to the same results. Until the end of the world?

Peace and coexistence is the solution and the only option for resolving the Middle East issue. Otherwise, neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians will succeed in imposing the logic of force, violence and racism. Although I went on to talk that may be ridiculous to some, but it is the closest to the truth.

The moment when the establishment of the State of Palestine will not come without serious Israeli concessions. On the other hand, Israeli concessions will not come without an explicit recognition of the right of the Jews to live next to the Palestinians. Without excluding or denying the right to be on holy land.

The part that stands out, and that I honestly don't ever recall seeing in Arabic media, is an element of empathy. I have never seen an Arab writer even attempt to look at things from the perspective of Israelis. Empathy requires looking at the other side as humans. I've seen articles that insulted Palestinians, but none I can recall that expressed any empathy for Israeli Jews from any perspective.

It's s start.

 
Germany’s public broadcaster Deutsche Welle has fired five employees, four of them from its Arabic desk, following a damning audit on antisemitism in the workplace.

The audit, based on a two-month investigation, found isolated cases of antisemitism but no systemic problem. Several freelancers were dropped as well; another eight cases are still under investigation, according to news reports.

At issue were virulent antisemitic statements made by staff on and off the job, as well as failures in recruiting staff and inviting a variety of guest speakers.

In 2019, a freelancer and trainer at the DW Academy compared Jews to ants that had invaded “through our weak points.”

The audit was prepared by former Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, integration expert Ahmad Mansour and expert on radicalization prevention Beatrice Mansour.

They began their probe last December, seeking online “postings, information on the distributors and partners of DW” implicated in the charges. Only publicly accessible profiles were analyzed, the report said.

Though investigators found that much material had already been deleted from the internet, some evidence was provided anonymously.

Staff in question had not merely engaged in “criticism of Israel,” which is protected free speech, but had used “classic antisemitic imagery up to and including Holocaust denial,” according to Ahmad Mansour.

DW also announced plans to beef up its Israel desk and establish a team of experts to integrate the topics of antisemitism, Israel’s right to exist and responsibility toward German history more strongly into the company’s offerings.

A video game in which players adopt the role of a Palestinian terrorist whose mission is to kill as many Israelis as possible is the subject of a legal challenge in Italy on the grounds of incitement.

Released in September 2021, the “Knights of Al Aqsa” video game centers on a young Palestinian named “Ahmed” who has just been released from a prison term in Israel.

Ahmed’s goal in the game is to kill Israeli soldiers and government agents using a variety of weapons, including semi-automatic rifles, knives and axes.

Palestinians in Lebanon have no path to citizenship, unlike all other Arabs.

Palestinians in Lebanon cannot buy land.

Palestinians in Lebanon cannot expand their residences in overcrowded "refugee" camps.

Babies born in Lebanon to Palestinians cannot become citizens.

All of this is Lebanese law - laws specifically written to marginalize and oppress Palestinians as a separate group from all other Arabs.

This is the definition of apartheid.

Not once has Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch urged Lebanon to allow Palestinians who have lived there for seven decades become citizens. Even though they urge countries with other stateless minorities to give them a path to citizenship, when it comes to Palestinians, they instead agree that they should remain stateless until they can "return" to an Israel they never lived in and were never citizens of.

Amnesty hasn't written a full report on the plight of Palestinians in Lebanon since 2007. In 2006, it admitted that "state policies and practices in Lebanon discriminate, effectively on grounds of racial and national origin, against Palestinian refugees who reside in Lebanon." Meaning that Lebanon was guilty of apartheid against Palestinians in 2006 by its own definition, but it refused to use that word - and still does.

Which just proves that Amnesty doesn't really care about Palestinian rights unless it can blame Israel.

The number of employed persons in Israeli settlements increased from about 21,600 thousand in the 3rd quarter 2021 to about 22,400 thousand employed person in the 4th quarter 2021. This is not close to the highest number working in settlements - that number reached 28,000 in 2018.

While most Palestinians working for Israelis work in construction, all of the increases between the third and fourth quarters were in other sectors: manufacturing, commerce and hospitality.

The average daily wage for Arab employees in Israel and settlements was about 269 NIS, about 1% higher than the third quarter and 3% higher than in 2020.

To give an idea of how dependent each economy is on the other, about 3.7% of all workers in Israel live in the Palestinian territories while about 15% of all Palestinian workers (West Bank and Gaza combined) work for Israelis.

“Our delegation is a representation of Congress’ bipartisan, bicameral commitment to an unbreakable bond between Israel and the United States, built on mutual security, economic interest, and our common values – our commitment to democracy,” she said.

“The greatest political achievement of the 20th century was the establishment of the State of Israel. I am very proud that America is Israel’s oldest ally.”

She added that the “U.S. remains ironclad…in our commitment to Israel’s security,” referencing the additional funding to the Iron Dome missile defense system passed by the House in September 2021.

Little known is that Pelosi’s late father, Congressman Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., was dedicated to rescuing Jews from Nazi Europe and helping to create a Jewish state – a stand that resulting in his breaking ranks with then-president Franklin Roosevelt.

D’Alesandro was a member of the Bergson Group, a Jewish political action committee that lobbied for FDR to rescue Jews from persecution and genocide in World War II-era Europe.

Israel’s Ministry of National Infrastructure, Energy and Water Resources said it would begin exporting natural gas to Egypt via Jordan.

According to a report in Globes on Wednesday, the fuel would first travel through a pipeline to Jordan, passing near Beit She’an, and then on to Aqaba and Egypt.

Currently, Israel exports 3 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually to Jordan and separately 5 billion to Egypt through a pipeline from Ashkelon to Sinai.
