Arab Imperialism and Modern Anti-Israel Rhetoric: A Tale Of Bloody Hypocrisy

In discussions about the Arab-Israel conflict, anti-Israel rhetoric often frames Israel as a colonial oppressor. However, if we apply this same lens to the history of Arab conquests and the spread of Islam, a stark hypocrisy emerges.

Arab Imperialism

Historically, Arab conquests in the 7th century led to the imposition of Islam and Arab culture across vast regions, including the Levant and vast part of Africa. These conquests involved significant cultural, religious, and political changes imposed on indigenous cultures, fitting the definition of imperialism. This point is underscored by Yasser Arafat’s vision of a unified Arab state from Morocco in Africa to Aden in Arabia, highlighting the goal of exclusive Arab domination over the Middle East.




Double Standards

Anti-Israel campaigns accuse Israel of being a foreign minority, while ignoring the imperialist history of Arab expansion. The same standards applied to Israel would paint an even harsher picture of Arab conquests and their long-lasting impacts on the indigenous nations of the region.

  • Why is there a double standard in the way history and current conflicts are framed?
  • How do we leverage the hypocrisy in the anti-Israel narrative to engage potential allies, threatened by the same imperialist ideology ruining what has become most of the "Arab world"?

"What's in a Name? The Curious Case of 'P-alestine'"
Did you know that most Arabs can't even pronounce the name 'P - alestine'? Let's explore the linguistic and historical implications of this curious fact, and what it means for the authenticity of the Palestinian narrative.

The term 'Palestine' has a rich history, but interestingly, the letter 'P' does not exist in Arabic, leading to a unique pronunciation challenge. This raises questions about the authenticity of the Palestinian narrative and its historical roots.

Historically, the name 'Palestine' itself was a Roman invention, used to rename the region of Judea after the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE. The pronunciation challenge is not just a linguistic quirk but also a symbol of deeper issues of cultural and historical authenticity.

These stark contrasts highlight the moral and ethical complexities surrounding the Palestinian identity and the broader Arab-Israeli conflict.

Imagine a scenario where someone demands custody over a child whose name they cannot even pronounce. Now, imagine an ideology celebrating strapping someone's children in suicide vests for the promise of a land they cannot even pronounce.




(QUESTION)
How does the inability to pronounce the name reflect on the territorial claims
of those who advocate so fervently for it, sometimes to extreme measures?

I miss 'ole Yassar. He was a great leader for the Palestinians. Got them massacred over & over again by their own Arab brothers, embezzled their money & died from Aids. Sure looking forward to another one to replace him.

And they LOVED him for that.
Don't forget his biggest contribution to humanity
hijacking airliners, and sending children in suicide vests.

And it's telling that no anti-Israel user has attempted to refute the poll question,
suggesting they recognize the reality of Arab imperialism too.

The next logical question would be -

does Islam fit the definition of Arab imperialism?
 
Exposing the Hidden History of Arab Colonialism
The Middle East was shaped by Arab colonialism,
but some minorities survive despite the odds

Have you ever considered the impact of Arab colonialism on the Middle East and North Africa?

This insightful article by George Monastiriakos reveals the often-ignored history of how Arab imperialism shaped the region. Despite centuries of dominance, some resilient minority groups have managed to survive against all odds.

Prepare to be outraged by the historical double standards that have obscured the true diversity of the MENA region. It’s time to acknowledge the enduring presence and contributions of these minority communities.

Arab Domination: The True Apartheid in the Middle East

Remember Arafat's vision of an Arab state stretching from Morocco to Aden? This isn’t about justice or peace; it’s about absolute hegemony. Exclusive Arab domination over the Middle East isn't just about land—it's about a system that oppresses millions.

The term 'apartheid' is often misused in the context of Israel. Let's explore the true history of Arab domination and its implications. Throughout history, Arab conquests have aimed for exclusive domination over the Middle East. This form of apartheid has had lasting impacts on the region's demographics and politics.

While the world turns a blind eye, real apartheid and modern slavery are thriving in the Arab world: in 2021, an estimated 1.7 million men, women, and children were living in modern slavery in the Arab States. Despite having the lowest number of people living in modern slavery across all regions, once population was considered, the Arab States have the highest prevalence of modern slavery.

The hypocrisy is glaring. How can those who perpetuate real apartheid accuse Israel of what they practice daily?

The Jewish Queen Who Resisted Arab Imperialism
Meet Dihya, the fierce Jewish queen who stood against Arab imperialism in North Africa.
Her story is one of courage and resistance.

Dihya, also known as al-Kahina from the Jewish priestly tribe, led her people in a valiant fight against the invading Arab forces in the 7th century. Her resistance is a powerful example of standing up against imperialism and protecting cultural identity.

While Dihya's bravery is celebrated, the true extent of Arab imperialism and its legacy of oppression remain largely unacknowledged. How can the world ignore the stories of those who fought against such tyranny and the ongoing impact of Arab domination?

Isn't it time we confront these historical and modern injustices,
and give voice to the many victims of Arab imperialism?

The Palestinian Flag: A Symbol of Foreign Empires and Hypocrisy

The Palestinian flag is often flown as a symbol of indigenous independence and resistance. But did you know that its colors represent foreign empires that conquered and dominated the region? Let's expose the hypocrisy of those who claim to stand for indigenous rights while waving a flag that symbolizes foreign domination and imperialism.​

The Palestinian flag features four colors: black, white, green, and red. These colors are known as the Pan-Arab colors, each representing different dynasties that ruled over vast territories, including what is now known as Palestine.

  1. Black: Represents the Abbasid Caliphate, an empire that expanded through conquest and subjugation from the 8th to the 13th century.
  2. White: Symbolizes the Umayyad Caliphate, another imperial power that controlled large swathes of the Middle East and North Africa from the 7th to the 8th century.
  3. Green: Associated with the Fatimid Caliphate, a dynasty that ruled over a significant part of the Mediterranean from the 10th to the 12th century.
  4. Red: Represents the Hashemite dynasty and the Khawarij, groups that also played roles in the historical imperial conquests of the region.
Now, imagine a scenario where someone claims to fight for indigenous independence while proudly displaying symbols of their historical oppressors. This is the paradox of the Palestinian flag, a flag that embodies the legacies of foreign empires.

Does the symbolism of the Palestinian flag align with the narrative of resistance and fighting for indigenous rights, or does it expose the hypocrisy of a supremacist ideology that glorifies conquest??

The Arabization wiped out many of cultures and ethnicities in the Middle East.

_
In his book, "A History of Palestine, 634-1099" Moshe Gil (Cambridge University Press, 1997) details what happened to people, who lived in their ancestral land since the time of "Joshua ben Nun." That is to say, these Jewish residents claimed this land going back to the conquest of Joshua, and in effect they said it was theirs "in perpetuity." Gil decided to examine the fate of his people who lived in what they called the land of "al-Sham" concisely between the rise of Islam and the coming of the Crusades.

Along came the Arabic conquerors who, according to another source — citing the Muslim chronicler Baladhuri (d. 892 C.E.) — said, "40,000 Jews lived in Caesarea alone at the Arab conquest, after which all trace of them is lost."

Gil's book is 1000 pages of humiliation, taxation, degradation of the original inhabitants of this land, not to mention the Christians who were either converted Jews, Muslims, or people who had moved there. He recounts one story from events in the present day West Bank and Gaza:

"One source tells of a Muslim who converted to Christianity and became a monk, and was renamed Christophorous. He was beheaded on 14 April 789. At around the same time, evidently, there was an Arab attack on the monastery of St. Theodosius, near Bethlehem. The monastery was pillaged, many of the monks were slaughtered and some escaped. The attackers also destroyed two churches near that monastery. A Church source tells about the suffering endured by the monasteries in the Judean mountains during the inter-tribal warfare which broke out in 796b ... While Bet Guvrin was being abandoned by its inhabitants, who were falling captive to the Arabs, assaults were being made in Ascalon, Gaza, and other localities. Everywhere there was pillage and destruction. (p. 126).

Thus, we have a picture of Muslim-Arabic subjugation of a people who inhabited the land of "al-Sham." It was these invaders who now claimed that the land of "al-Sham" was theirs forever, according to the laws of Islamic jurisprudence.

Indeed,

Arab imperialism wiped out many cultures,
but some minorities resist it despite the odds.

That's the whole thing with getting defeated by tiny Israel,
if the Jewish minority after the Holocaust and expulsion Arabs states,
could gain independence, what happens when other minorities join the fight?

The Legacy of the Arab Slave Trade

Did you know that the Arab slave trade has left a lasting legacy that continues to affect millions today, including those in Hamas ruled in Gaza.

The Arab slave trade, which began centuries before the transatlantic slave trade, was responsible for the forced migration and enslavement of millions of Africans. This dark chapter of history has left deep scars, not only in Africa but also in the Middle East.

  • Fact 1: The Arab slave trade spanned over a millennium, with an estimated 17 million Africans enslaved and transported across the Arab world.
  • Fact 2: The legacy of this trade is still evident today, with discriminatory practices and social hierarchies persisting in various Arab countries.



One striking example is the Al Jalla'a district of Gaza, where at least 11,000 Africans live in a neighborhood called “Al Abeed,” which means slaves in Arabic. This name starkly reveals the deep-seated racism driving the Arab-Palestinian agenda today that many prefer to ignore.

How does the historical legacy of the Arab slave trade affect modern-day perceptions of human rights in the Middle East? What does the continued use of names like "Al Abeed" tell us about the real agenda of those who exploit the African American narrative for Arab imperialism?
