Palestinians have been responsible for the enslavement of black women and children. Did you not know that there where Black Palastinians? Many of the Black people in Palestine face racism, the black women can't find husbands cause they are deemed inferior! Heck most of them have been sterilized (a common practice in chattel slavery)! These same Palestinians that scream oppression oppress Africans call us Abeed(slave). There are African slaves all over South west Asia (Middle East); from Arabia, to Jordan, to Palestine, Iraq, Omen, Qatar and many more. Lets not forget the slaves in Mauritania, Chad, Sudan, Niger, and many more countries. Arab Imperialism is exterminating Africans! I will not stand beside Palestine!

The ones that are in denial are Arabized. We know the truth;we have known it since 640 AD when the Arabs invaded Africa through Egypt. What do people think North Africa is? North Africa use to be BLACK! Arabs now own 1/3rd of African land. There are plenty of people speaking out about this, Nigerian scholar Chinweizu has published many papers on the issue of the Arabization of Africa and on Arab Imperialism in Africa. If you want to know more read his papers, some can be found at: http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/artic les/chinweizu/arab-quest-for-lebensraum.html Just do a search you will find lots on this topic; not to mention the stories of former Sudanese slaves, and Kola Boof.

When I would point out the history of African-Arab relations involved quite a bit of explotation and racism on the part of Arabs he would always be in denial about it. And he had a PH'D in international relations and a masters in political science! It made me learn that some people who were very well versed in the ignorance of white priveledged college students had their own blind spots that were hundreds of miles long. I also had a boyfriend who mentioned that a lot of African American anti-racist activists where he went to colege seemed to consider him to one of them (he was Arab). He was surprised that they would be so openly bitter at whites because of their history with blacks but they didn't seem to know even slightly that the history of Arabs and Africans was not one of brotherhood and mutual respect.

I spoke of solidarity with Palestine not just for solidarity sake but because I happen to believe in the right of the Palestinian people to return to their homes and property; that Israel should withdraw from land occupied in 1967; withdrawal from all illegal settlements and a Palestinian state. Yes I agree, Africans need to remove the blinders off their eyes. Speaking of Israel, on close examination you will find that Black Jews such as Ethiopians, face discrimination and racism in Israel in education, employment, housing, healthcare and so on. Peace!

I am interested in solving the problems of African people. I do believe that it is about time black people take off the blinders off their eyes and start seeing things as they really are.Solidarity with the oppressed who are enemies for "solidarity sake" is futile. May God bless you. Cordiales saludos.
