So…it’s Arab American Heritage Month. We’re already three weeks in, but I wanted to write about it all the same.

This feels especially important right now, given Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

There are some public figures in my article that I bet you didn’t know were of Arab descent. Also some interesting stats.

"I wish white Christian Conservatives had the same passion for migrant children, school shooting victims, sick toddlers, young black men, Muslim families, LGBTQ teens, the environment, and women's autonomy over their bodies that they claim to have for embryos."

Cubans love trump. The love his lies and support of not changing things in #Cuba -

They ignore his treatment of anyone brown and think they are exempt because they are stupid.

#FAFO

He just revoked their Temporary Protected Status.

This is like #Muslims who voted for trump or helped him get elected. Did you really think he would treat you differently?

“Israel’s internal security agency, Shin Bet, has said Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies were among the underlying causes of the 7 October 2023 attack in which Hamas and other militants killed about 1,200 Israelis”

The #israel security services accept that #netanyahu deliberately stoked the strength of #hamas prior to the October 7 attack, to undermine #palestine unity & attributes blame to govt policies designed to humiliate #muslims

I wonder if this will make @BBCNews

#Registration laws were originally intended as an inventory of noncitizens in the country, Morawetz said. But once govt officials obtained that info, they used it to aid the #detention of #Japanese Americans during WWII & #Muslims after the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Registration laws have a very, very bad history in terms of what they have meant when they have been fully enforced,” she said.

Did #albo say anything about the attack on two Muslim women in Melbourne? No?

Didn't they say: "We value every Australian, regardless of their faith, race, gender or LGBTIQ+ status,” ?

Someone reminds me, what do we call it when actions don't match the words?

So violent attacks are not ok if inflicted on Christians or Jews but it's apparently acceptable if inflicted on #Muslims , #women , #indigenous or #lgbtqia community. Because hey it's too complicated and hard to protect anyone other than Christians and Jewish people.

And Albo calls Dutton divisive, while he follows in his footsteps.

#Europe / Far-Right leaders rally in Madrid, hail Trump, denounce Immigration and add the Likud as an observer member

European far-right leaders, including Hungarian Orban and France's Le Pen, praised #Trump at a "Patriots for Europe" summit in Madrid. The leaders railed against immigration and #wokism, while calling for a new #Reconquista. The event, hosted by Santiago Abascal of Spain's #Vox party, was held under the slogan "Make Europe Great Again".

reuters.com/world/europe/orban

Reuters failed to mention that Likud is now an "Observer Member" of the Patriots for Europe. #Likud aligning itself with European far-right and neo-fascist parties that are calling for a "Reconquista" is pretty strange, to say the least. You'd think they'd remember what that meant for #Jews not just #Muslims.

It goes further, however. It calls for identifying the number of citizens who entered the US from those countries since 2021 — during Joe Biden’s presidency — and collecting “relevant” information about their “actions and activities”.

The new order directs administration officials to compile a list of nations “for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries”.
