There is no difference between the racism of Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib towards Palestinian Jews and the racism of Senators Ron Johnson and Joe Manchin towards Black Lives actually Matter-ing. All of them believe in the myths of supremacist “victimhood” and “exceptionalism” – whether it be Islamic terrorism masquerading as benevolent governments, or white Christianity ensuring that their judicial, political, economic methods of control remain in place no matter the cost to non-whites. Worse, all of them and too many others like them truly believe in and spread the socially acceptable revisionist history that they espouse – a history that *nowhere* resembles the demonstrable reality within this world, but fully serves to maintain the structures of suffering already in place in this world.
It is the pattern of white Christianity and post-WWII Islam to pit Jews and Arabs against each other and to pit blacks and Jews against each other. Nothing new here historically. *But*, were Jews, Arabs, and African Americans (and First Peoples of what whites call “America”) to unite together *in unity* for economic, judicial, political representation, and legislative justice in the USA?!!! Who knows the influence we could, then, have on the rest of the world?!!!
We all’s got to let go of the self-satisfying self-serving myths, and get ourselves on to the collective team together. Neither supremacist systems, Christianity nor Islam, can survive a united demographic of minorities looking for peace and prosperity amongst each other – anywhere in this world! Just saying.

“Boosting Palestinian autonomy would achieve the seemingly impossible. It would answer the Israeli public’s two contradictory wishes: Israel would exercise much less control over the Palestinians that it does now, but it would not become more threatened by them than it is now. … A prosperous and autonomous Palestine is essential if a final-status accord is ever to take shape.” For example, a Palestine-Israel confederation, two democratic states coexisting on the same land together in peace and mutual responsibility.

“On the afternoon of June 24, I watched, shaken and still, as Palestinian special police fired tear gas at Palestinian protesters demanding accountability for the killing of Nizar Banat, a vocal critic of the Palestinian Authority’s policies and corruption. I had been here before. I have witnessed Palestinian security forces beat Palestinians in the streets and target dissidents in August 2012, July 2013, April 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019.”

“From 1890 to 1947, in less than sixty years, the population [of Arabs, Jews, and Europeans in Palestine] grew from 532,000 to 1,845,560. The Arab population of Palestine grew more from 1922 to 1947 than it had over the previous 400 years.” – UNSCOP*, pp. 12-13
The *myth* of “colonization” is meant to delegitimize Israel with every breath, with every statement. Even when those, who believe in and say this lie, claim to accept Israel’s right to exist, it is an act of Arab “othering.”

Born in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Mosab Yousef – son of Hamas founder Hassan Yousef – was once groomed by his father to be a leader in the Palestinian terror movement.
Mosab Yousef said he saw the light after a stint with his dad’s comrades in an Israeli jail during the mid-1990s. At Megiddo Prison, he witnessed Hamas inmates leading a brutal year-long campaign to weed out supposed Israeli collaborators.
“During that time, Hamas tortured and killed hundreds of prisoners,” he said, recalling vivid memories of needles being inserted under finger nails and bodies charred with burning plastics. “Many, if not all, had nothing to do with Israeli intelligence.
“I will never forget their screams,” he continued. “I started asking myself a question. What if Hamas succeeded in destroying Israel and building a state. Will they destroy our people in this way?”
“The silence of the majority of Gaza is not because they support Hamas, but because they are afraid of Hamas,” he said. “The people live in fear. Hamas rules over them by the sword. If you oppose Hamas they will shoot you or hang you immediately. You and your family are finished.”
Another brother, Suheib Youself, defected from Hamas in 2019, telling Israeli media he had become fed up with corruption and called the group a “racist terror organization that is dangerous for the Palestinian people.” ”

The origins of Christian and Muslim racism towards Jews and Blacks is found here, in the writings of gentile pre-Christians, upon which the gentile Church Farthers of the 4th century CE would base their founding philosophies for the Christian religion on, and upon which all of modern history has been influenced by, everywhere the presence of historic Christianity and Nazism has had an influence upon (the Europe, Middle East, and Africa continents, and islands of the North and South Pacific and Atlantic oceans):
Christianity began as a devoutly Jewish extremist religious sect, and quickly morphed into a racist anti-Semitic gentile religion to the dismay of the original founders of this messianic sect. Like all Jews of the time, the Jesus sect was anti-Roman occupation and expected a human messiah to arise that would expell the Beast, the Roman occupiers, from Israeli lands.
The only beef that Jesus Jews had with other Jews was rejection of their interpretation of how Jewish Torah law should be observed. (Not “if” it should be observed! This latter, began with heretic Paul and goyim followers.)
None of the wanna-be messiahs achieved this prophetic goal of destroying the “Beast” – Rome. The only one who came closest was Bar Kochba and, for this latest (and final) attempt, the Romans adopted Christianity as their official religion and Jews were expelled near completely – through death, slavery, and flight – out of Israel (now Roman Palaestina) and into the Diaspora of the world.
Unfortunately, in this ‘history white-washed’ Christian dominated world, this demonstrable history is not near even taught enough (almost not taught at all!). White Christian sensitivities must be preserved at all cost, it’s the supremacist way. But, if you want to know where modern skin color-based racism got its start in this world, it began in Europe with the gentile Christians.
To learn more about racism, this modern CE invention to benefit one race at the expense of others, you must look at the founding teachings and, often violent, oppressive laws of the Roman Christian Church.
“Abstract
Despite important work on the Greco-Roman antecedents of modern racism, very limited attention has been paid to early Christian literature in this connection. This is remarkable not least because modern Western racism took shape initially in a European context heavily influenced by Christianity.
The present essay contributes to addressing this lacuna by analysing statements about ‘other’ ethnicities in the work of Origen of Alexandria, one of the most important thinkers of the first three centuries CE. It argues that Origen defends a number of positions that exhibit substantial similarities with later racist modes of thinking.
Earlier scholarly accounts that portray Origen as a champion of human equality and as engaged in anti-racist efforts therefore cannot stand up to scrutiny. Origen disparages certain ethnic groups and develops arguments that connect ethnic identity and geographical location with various degrees of sinfulness. His work offers clear evidence that theories of ethnic inferiority have a long history within the Christian matrix that stretches considerably beyond the modern and medieval periods.”
