As a preliminary, you\u00a0might want to first check out that &#8220;<em>d-<\/em>word&#8221; above <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dhimmitude.org\/\">http:\/\/dhimmitude.org\/<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, there was a good comedy, <em>The Three Amigos,<\/em> starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase. Unlike the film, however, there\u2019s no humor in what follows&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s become common, even popular&#8211;especially with younger generations having little historical perspective\u2014for people to accept the one-sided vilification of Israel and Zionism (among other things, the national liberation movement of the Jewish people) often presented to them.<\/p>\n<p>Truth turned on its head\u2026<\/p>\n<p>David is transformed into Goliath, Jews become the new Nazis, Hamas\u2019 Gaza is the Jews\u2019 Warsaw Ghetto, and Arabs (with almost <em>two dozen<\/em> states carved out of mostly non-Arab peoples\u2019 lands) are now the allegedly new, \u201cstateless\u201d Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Much of this can be traced to the higher indoctrination, not education, served on numerous &#8220;Progressive&#8221; campuses these days. Now, add to this many millions of dollars donated to support courses related to the Middle East (and even other seemingly non-related areas) by Arab oil potentates and international petro-connected businesses (ARAMCO, Bechtel Corporation, etc.) to fund scholars, programs, scholarships, travel, and so forth, and you can better understand why some subjects are not discussed and don\u2019t appear on course reading lists, while others never seem to leave center stage.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been no coincidence, for example, that the plight of subjugated, stateless Kurds has rarely been a concern, in and out of the classroom, yet the demand by Arabs for an additional state on the ashes of Israel is lionized\u2026<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meforum.org\/campus-watch\/23439\/the-link-between-saudi-donations-to-us\">https:\/\/www.meforum.org\/campus-watch\/23439\/the-link-between-saudi-donations-to-us<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Our rock stars\u00a0are among others landing gigs in academia, conferences, government, and elsewhere spouting their deceit. In assorted venues, they preach &#8220;justice,&#8221; but the only justice sought is for their own&#8230;which makes their endeavors unjust.<\/p>\n<p>For those sincerely desiring justice, while demanding it for Arabs, they must also seek it for millions of other peoples in the that troubled region as well. That\u2019s what <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/q4j-middle-east.com\/\">http:\/\/q4j-middle-east.com<\/a><\/strong> is all about. But this broader quest has been rejected by most of the former, who simply claim the entire region to be \u201cpurely Arab patrimony&#8221; instead. <u>Case in point<\/u>: Arabs routinely complain that the potential birth of Kurdistan&#8211;a nation for some 38 million <em>trul<\/em>y stateless people\u2014would be \u201canother Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, that above\u00a0prevalent, millennial Arab mindset summarizes the Arab-Israeli conflict, but is also the source of the Arab-Kurd, Arab-Amazigh\/Kabyle\/\u201dBerber,\u201d Arab-Copt, Arab-black African, Arab-Semitic (but non-Arab\/pre-Arab conquest) Lebanese and Assyrian, and other conflicts as well.<\/p>\n<p>Are <em>The Three Amigas<\/em> (and fellow Amigos) concerned about any of those other peoples above&#8211;most, if not all, who\u2019ve been victims of the Arabs&#8217; violent, age-old\u00a0pursuit of only their own self-interests? Don\u2019t bother to answer.<\/p>\n<p>Has Arab nationalism\/<em>Arabism<\/em> in its many subspecies ever made <em>any <\/em>compromises with other native folks\u2019 aspirations? Don\u2019t bother to answer this question either.<\/p>\n<p><em>Compromises<\/em>?&#8230; Zionism certainly has&#8211;yet it is the national movement that routinely gets excoriated.<\/p>\n<p>The original 1920 Mandate of Palestine included all of today\u2019s Israel, but also Jordan, Gaza, Judea and Samaria (only in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century known also as the \u201cWest Bank\u201d), and even the Golan Heights.<\/p>\n<p>In 1922, Great Britain lopped off almost 80% of the total and handed it over to Arab allies in World War I. What would later be named <em>Jordan<\/em> thus emerged. Had Arabs accepted the \u201947 partition plan dividing the 20% that was left, they would have wound up with almost 90% of the total land area. Quite a different story than the Arabs\u2019 \u201cJews stole all of Palestine\u201d taqiyya fairy tale.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever heard these well-documented facts (and many others as important) ever come out of the mouths of those who accuse Israel of practically every sin imaginable?<\/p>\n<p>Moving on\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar&#8217;s family is from Somalia, Arabized black Africans. But for blacks who dared to resist the Arab jihad, there&#8217;s a very different story to tell&#8211;just don&#8217;t share it with Louis Farakhan and his buddies. That would just be nasty, Satanic Jew, Zionist propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s how Arabs in the north of the Sudan, west of Somalia, viewed all of this. Ex-president, Gaafar Muhammad al-Nimeiry proclaimed\u2026<\/p>\n<table width=\"95%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"33%\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\u201cThe Sudan is the basis of the Arab thrust into&#8230;black Africa, the Arab civilizing mission (&#8220;Arabism and Pan-Arabism in Sudanese Politics,&#8221; Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 11, no. 2, 1973, pp. 177-78).<\/p>\n<p>Think about that quote for a moment\u2026<\/p>\n<p>While critics identify Rudyard Kipling&#8217;s late 19th-century poem, &#8220;The White Man&#8217;s Burden,&#8221; as typifying Western colonialist, imperialist attitudes towards the Third World, why have such overt Arab supremacist, racist attitudes been routinely ignored?<\/p>\n<p>Do <em>The Three Amigas<\/em> ever mention such things? How about their comrade, New York\u2019s Representative Ocasio-Cortez?<\/p>\n<p>Is it that the <em>Arab Man&#8217;s <\/em>Burden is kosher, but the <em>White Man&#8217;s<\/em> isn\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>The same Sarsour, Omar, and Tlaib-types&#8211;who demand the sole, resurrected nation of the Jews\u2019 actual or virtual suicide for the sake of Arab state # 22&#8211;have surely heard of the subjugation, enslavement, displacement, rape, and murder of<em> literally<\/em> millions of black Africans by Arabs for half century now\u2026not to mention victims elsewhere as well.<\/p>\n<p>And this <em>Arabist&#8211;<\/em>not Zionist&#8211;sin is worse than it appears\u2026<\/p>\n<p>While southern Sudan was largely <em>non<\/em>-Muslim, the western province&#8211;Darfur&#8211;had been converted and forcibly made part of the Dar ul-Islam. So, there was no <em>religious <\/em>reason for the genocide waged by the Arab and Arabized north against it. An Arabized black from Somalia now sits on America\u2019s powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee, courtesy of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. She\u2019s one of <em>The Three Amigas<\/em>, Ilhan Omar.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the on-going violence in Darfur has an even more disturbing twist\u2026<\/p>\n<p>On June 15, 2006, an AP article dealt with a UN-backed court probing war crimes in Darfur. In a small blurb, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor, stated that eyewitnesses spoke of Arab perpetrators of atrocities telling victims &#8220;we will kill all of you blacks and drive you out of this land.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, while earlier Arab violence against the south could largely be seen as &#8220;merely&#8221; a modern extension of the fourteen century-old murderous religious jihad launched against the Dar al-Harb by the Dar ul-Islam, the atrocities in Darfur (as those in Arab-occupied Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan, much of the rest of heavily non-Arab, Amazigh&#8211;&#8220;Berber&#8221;&#8211;North Africa, and elsewhere) have been mostly about Arab racism, pure and simple\u2026and being conducted by those very same folks who lecture the rest of us about \u201cracist Zionism\u201d\u2026like <em>The Three Amigas<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the above victims are all mostly Muslims\u2026but <em>not ARABS<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Get the picture?<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, I almost forgot. A common name in Arabic for black African is \u201c\u2018<em>abd<\/em>\u201d&#8211;slave. But let\u2019s listen to duplicitous professors or the United Nations protest about \u201cApartheid Zionists\u201d instead\u2026just ask former President Jimmy Carter.
