Thanks. That area has been fought over for damn near a thousand years. I never considered that part of the "Middle East," and instead looked at it as an extension of Northern Africa/Egypt."Neutral" academic sources put the Jewish population during the time of Ottoman rule at maybe 5%. The rest of the population was Muslim with a small Christian population. This shit is really complicated and you arent going to find good info especially on social media. There are some good books on the subject but if you just google the Arab Revolt against the Ottomans you will find what you are looking for. For example, the colonizers of the region that the Arabs were revolting against were Ottomans aka Turks. And who were they aligned with against the Ottomans? The British who promised them an Arab state...
I have learned first hand from traveling there to not question the "Arabness" of somebody from there though.
Arabs been enslaving Black Africans. They do till this day. Now everybody claims to love them. These people sold us to Euro devils
Well technically they did, just 1300+ years ago.
Wait , you’re trying to say no Arabs sold us to Euro slavers? Man y’all really love these sand cacs. WTF

Confronting anti-black racism in the Arab world
The Arab slave trade is a fact of history, and anti-black racism in the region is something that must be addressed.www.aljazeera.com

Please stop making excuses for these savages
“Then, between 1600 and 1800, another 1.4 million Africans were shipped out by the Arabs. The 19th century represented the highest point of the Arabian trade where 12,000 Africans were shipped out every year. The total figure for the 19th century alone was 1.2 million slaves to Arabia.”
Recalling Africa’s harrowing tale of its first slavers – The Arabs
The 25th March was commemorated as the day Britain officially abolished its Slave Trade in 1807. But how many recall that Arab slavers were the first, and last, in modern times to ship millions of Africans as slaves? here is reminder...
You still making excuses . Even cacs were disturbed how harshly Arabs treated them. Does it matter where they ended up!?!?This is the trans-Saharan slave trade, not the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
And a lot of those Arab slavers looked like this:
So they were blacker than you!!!
Fuck them too!And what about these slavers? These are the ones who sold YOUR ancestors, and MINE, to the Euros!!

That's where I leaning. I'm not happy to see either side losing lives (especially women, children and the elderly) but the way Black and Brown folks are acting like we all should be on the side of the Palestinians on some anti-colonizer shit is weird.

Yeah I have posted about this on here a lot. It isn't "slave like situations" or anything, literally slave auctions...
People for sale: Where lives are auctioned for $400
Tripoli, Libya (CNN) – “Eight hundred,” says the auctioneer. “900 … 1,000 … 1,100 …” Sold. For 1,200 Libyan dinars – the equivalent of $800.
Not a used car, a piece of land, or an item of furniture. Not “merchandise” at all, but two human beings.
One of the unidentified men being sold in the grainy cell phone video obtained by CNN is Nigerian. He appears to be in his twenties and is wearing a pale shirt and sweatpants.
He has been offered up for sale as one of a group of “big strong boys for farm work,” according to the auctioneer, who remains off camera. Only his hand – resting proprietorially on the man’s shoulder – is visible in the brief clip.
After seeing footage of this slave auction, CNN worked to verify its authenticity and traveled to Libya to investigate further.
Carrying concealed cameras into a property outside the capital of Tripoli last month, we witness a dozen people go “under the hammer” in the space of six or seven minutes.
“Does anybody need a digger? This is a digger, a big strong man, he’ll dig,” the salesman, dressed in camouflage gear, says. “What am I bid, what am I bid?”

Shit, Tunisia has a President who said this:
In February, Tunisian President Kais Saied warned his country of a plan to change Tunisia’s “demographic make-up”, to turn it into “just another African country that doesn’t belong to the Arab and Islamic nations any more”.
Just in case you were wondering, he cant be racist he has "Black" friends.‘In Tunisia, racists can do whatever they like’
Tunisia has a complex history with Black refugees and migrants, as well as its own native Black population.
“I am African, and proud to be so,” he said in televised comments. He said some of his family members are married to sub-Saharan Africans and that he had friends in law school who were Africans. He also described Africans as “brothers.’’
Facing uproar, Tunisian president denies he's stoking racism
Tunisia’s president has rejected accusations that he is stoking anti-Black racism. He says that he has sub-Saharan African friends and that his comments last month targeting migrants were misinterpreted by his enemies.
The Gaddafi veneration that happens on here is also bizarre given he said similar things:
"Tomorrow Europe might no longer be European, and even black, as there are millions who want to come in," said Col Gaddafi, quoted by the AFP news agency.
He was speaking at a ceremony in Rome late on Monday, standing next to Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
"We don't know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans," Col Gaddafi said.
Gaddafi wants EU cash to stop African migrants
Libya's Col Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a "black Europe".
I don’t get it, niggas rapid responding and have more sympathy for these Arabs than other Black folks right here. This shit got 26 pages of people mad at the “Jew Colonizers” but nobody wants to talk about the Arabs who still enslave African people and are racist as fuck also. It’s also insulting trying to compare this shit with the Black American experience. That really pisses me off
Y’all want to pretend that only Israeli’s treat Africans like shit
Black Palestinians shrug off racism
Racist taunts toward Gaza’s African minority are not uncommon, despite centurieslong African migration to Palestine.www.al-monitor.com
Y’all always revert back to some Asian shit as an example when I challenge all racist views. If North Korea was attacking Japan I’m not going to sit here and rapid post tweets and articles to support why I support Japan. I don’t give a flying fuck. Those ain’t my people. But y’all in here like some damn Arabs defending these people
