Le déni, French touch du racisme ?

This image of

Chers amis mon livre sur de l’

et l’
#islamophobie
vient de sortir en librairie. Il s’agit d’une histoire croisée, démontrant à quel point la figure du juif et celle du musulman ont été associées dans l’appareil représentatif occidental depuis le Moyen-Âge.
Antisémitisme et Islamophobie. Une histoire croisée, de Reza Zia-Ebrahimi, sort aujourd'hui.
En cette période où les imaginaires complotistes prolifèrent, c'est un éclairage indispensable sur la racialisation des juifs et des musulmans en Occident.

Animalising human groups is common practice in genocidal projects. When the victims are animalised normal human empathy is suspended. Tutsis were called cockroaches in Rwanda and
#Nazis
called Jews vermine.

Violence against women in Iran is systemic. It is not a matter of specific agents or individual articles of the law. It is one of the foundations of this regime. And the regime has proven impossible to reform. Take your own conclusions. #مهسا_امینی

The regime’s violence against

This is a historical moment. Never has the liberal West trampled upon so many of its self-professed 'values' (equality, dignity, liberty) to support a genocidal enterprise. It does so explicitly, and it does so unanimously.

Ça y est. Kamel Daoud m’a bloqué. Ma critique de son volontariat en faveur du mouvement identitaire, et ma résistance à ses tentatives de censure et ses attaques insensées, clairement touchèrent un nerf sensible.
بیتفاوتی غرب نسبت به کشتار #فلسطینیها همان بیتفاوتی است که نشان می دادند وقتی صدام حسین به غیرنظامیان ما با سلاح شیمیایی حمله می کرد. اگر فکر می کنید در دیدگاه #استعمار و #نژادپرستی فلسطینیها و ایرانیان متفاوت هستند، تاریخ جهان را اشتباه خوانده اید.

What is a structurally racist police force? One that intimidates and fines people for wearing a keffiyeh for instance. Or bans protests opposing a genocide because the victims are non-white. With full support from the state and the elites.

Yes the Tory party may soon have a leader from a minority background. This is neither colour-blindness nor a sign that the party is not deeply complicit with racism, quite the contrary. Short thread explaining why 1/7 👇🏽
What is the connection between
#Zionism
and
#Islamophobia
? Well, the Western indifference toward the genocide of
#Palestinians
is the direct result of Zionist deployment of Islamophobic tropes to present them as violent and cruel terrorists rather than innocent colonised people.
I am shocked by
@IranIntl
coverage of the
#Gaza
crisis. Terrorism is condemned but no context offered on the occupation, the immurement of 2 million innocent Gazans and the regime of
#IsraeliApartheid
. Is it their editorial line or the wish if their Saudi backers?
There are thousands of linguistic/ethnic groups on Earth, only a minority have a state of their own. No group has a right to displace another group to claim a territory.
#EthnicCleansing
and
#genocide
are not a right, they are crimes against humanity. Call them out.
#Israel
#Gaza
This is the queue of humanitarian aid trucks stuck on the Egyptian side of the Gaza border, blocked by the Israeli military. This is the day after the head of UN Food Programme stated there is “full blown famine in Northern Gaza moving its way South”
Europe is substantially poorer, more racist, less dynamic, and MUCH less free than the US
Food is bland, coffee tastes like shit, the weather is mostly awful, their primary cultural export is tourism, and they have less say in the affairs of the world
It would be an outrage if
#Republicans

#Racism
#BlackLivesMatter
As a scholar of race key to my understanding of
#Holocaust
is that the animalisation of the victims and the inhibition of human empathy that enabled it are not unique to that historical period. Some of those ingredients are observable in the
#GazaGenocide
too.
My sister was verbally abused in a hospital in

today because she was translating for this elderly

"The accusations being made against Israel are absurd."
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Israel is acting in accordance with international law in defending itself against Hamas.
First, they said they didn't kill us. Then they said we killed each other. Then they said they didn't do it, but would gladly do it again. Then they said we bring dead from all over Bosnia to bury in Srebrenica. Then they said we bring animal bones. Then they said remembering is

On the 9th anniversary of the
#Utoya
massacre by
#Islamophobia
terrorist Anders Breivik, let us remember his main sources of inspiration: Bat Ye'or (mentioned more than 60 times in his manifesto) and Oriana Fallaci (that he praises as "a great critic of Islam").
A racially structured society rewards minority individuals who do not espouse antiracism or - better - take an active role in, f.ex, anti-immigration rhetoric and action. Think Priti Patel. Her appointment is a symptom of racism, not the success of antiracism.

#SystemicRacism

Absolutely true. The

of
#Bosnian

and the physical erasure of their existence through destruction of libraries, mosques and palaces has been consistently minimised, and this minimisation is one manifestation of

Pardonnez-moi Kamel Daoud mais cela ne m’enlève pas le droit d’avoir une opinion sur votre travail. J’ajouterais également que contrairement à vous j’ai grandi dans une vraie république islamique et contrairement à vous je n’ai jamais été un islamiste.
This is not an MA! It is a day of classes for you who fancy doing some history. Come & learn about the history of antisemitism, islamophobia, distrust of doctors, Napoleon, West Africa from the slave trade to revolution, and the point of politics. Howzat?!
Is this an admission that your 1990’s theory (that conspiracism is particular to the Middle East and a sign of the region’s backwardness) was utter racist nonsense?
It is profoundly sad and disturbing to me that so many of my fellow American political conservatives have fallen so hard for conspiracy theories, notably about the 2020 presidential election and the anti-COVID-19 vaccines.
I wish them a rapid and full recovery from this blight.
The outrageous decision by the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, to seek arrest warrants against the democratically elected leaders of Israel is a moral outrage of historic proportions.
It will cast an everlasting mark of shame on the international court.
Ultimately, we need to recognise that the distinctions we are used to in Western plutocracies (left, right, populist, pluralist, social democratic, fascist…) become irrelevant when an Arab/Muslim majority people are being oppressed.
