Arab Imperialism Unmasked: The Hypocrisy Behind the Anti-Israel Agenda

Arab Imperialism and Modern Anti-Israel Rhetoric: A Tale Of Bloody Hypocrisy​

In discussions about the Arab-Israel conflict, anti-Israel rhetoric often frames Israel as a colonial oppressor. However, if we apply this same lens to the history of Arab conquests and the spread of Islam, a stark hypocrisy emerges.

Arab Imperialism

Historically, Arab conquests in the 7th century led to the imposition of Islam and Arab culture across vast regions, including the Levant and vast part of Africa. These conquests involved significant cultural, religious, and political changes imposed on indigenous cultures, fitting the definition of imperialism. This point is underscored by Yasser Arafat’s vision of a unified Arab state from Morocco in Africa to Aden in Arabia, highlighting the goal of exclusive Arab domination over the Middle East.




Double Standards

Anti-Israel campaigns accuse Israel of being a foreign minority, while ignoring the imperialist history of Arab expansion. The same standards applied to Israel would paint an even harsher picture of Arab conquests and their long-lasting impacts on the indigenous nations of the region.

• Why is there a double standard in the way history and current conflicts are framed?
• How do we leverage the hypocrisy in the anti-Israel narrative to engage potential allies, threatened by the same imperialist ideology ruining what has become most of the "Arab world"?

The Impact of Arabization​

Arabization isn't just cultural influence—it's cultural erasure. For centuries, Arab imperialism has crushed local identities, languages, and traditions under its weight.

Arabization campaigns have forcibly imposed Arab culture, language, and identity on diverse peoples across North Africa and the Middle East.

• Fact 1: Indigenous languages and traditions have been systematically suppressed, with communities coerced into adopting Arabic customs and language.
• Fact 2: This cultural imperialism has erased countless indigenous histories, leaving a trail of lost identities and heritage.

Imagine being persecuted for embracing your own culture. Why is this not called out as the cultural imperialism it truly is? How does this process compare to other forms of cultural imperialism?

The Legacy of the Arab Slave Trade​

Did you know that the Arab slave trade has left a lasting legacy that continues to affect millions today, including those in Hamas ruled Gaza.

The Arab slave trade, which began centuries before the transatlantic slave trade, was responsible for the forced migration and enslavement of millions of Africans. This dark chapter of history has left deep scars, not only in Africa but also in the Middle East.

• Fact 1: The Arab slave trade spanned over a millennium, with an estimated 17 million Africans enslaved and transported across the Arab world.
• Fact 2: The legacy of this trade is still evident today, with discriminatory practices and social hierarchies persisting in various Arab countries.

​

One striking example is the Al Jalla'a district of Gaza, where at least 11,000 Africans live in a neighborhood called “Al Abeed,” which means slaves in Arabic. This name starkly reveals the deep-seated racism driving the Arab-Palestinian agenda today that many prefer to ignore.

How does the historical legacy of the Arab slave trade affect modern-day perceptions of human rights in the Middle East? What does the continued use of names like "Al Abeed" tell us about the real agenda of those who exploit the African American narrative for Arab imperialism?

"Fight Them Because They're Jews and Christians"​

The concept of jizyah is not just an archaic tax but a tool of humiliation, economic subjugation, and social exploitation. It exemplifies the goals of Arab imperialist economic exploitation and slavery.

Jizyah was imposed on non-Muslims (primarily Jews and Christians) in Muslim-ruled territories. This tax wasn't merely about revenue; it was a symbol of their subjugation and a constant reminder of their inferior status.

• Humiliation: Paying jizyah often involved public displays of submission, reinforcing the social hierarchy and the subservient position of non-Muslims.
• Economic Subjugation: The tax placed a heavy financial burden on non-Muslims, keeping them economically disadvantaged and dependent. Beside jizyah, there was additional taxation on non-Muslim subjects of the Caliphate.
• Social Exploitation: Non-Muslims under jizyah were denied certain rights and protections, further entrenching their second-class status.

Why is this historical form of exploitation and humiliation not more widely condemned?

How does this legacy affect the present?

"Israel is a successful example of decolonization. From Arab imperialism. From Islamic conquest. And British colonialism. It's so rare, that we don't even recognize what decolonization looks like, even if it was right in front of our faces.

The Dark Untold History The Arabs Have Tried To Erase​

Middle Eastern state-sanctioned racism against Jews​

Starting in the seventh century, pan-Arab imperialism foisted the Arabic language and culture on Jews and other indigenous peoples like Assyrians, Berbers, Kurds, Zoroastrians, Maronites and Egyptian Copts.

In the 20th century, many of these peoples suffered mass murder, persecution and exile. The primary victims of “ethnic cleansing” in the Middle East conflict are not the Palestinians, but the one million Jews who had been living in Middle Eastern and North African communities for millennia. In this exodus without precedent, a larger number of Jews were driven out of Arab countries than Arabs from Israel. Those Jews and their descendants now constitute the majority of Jewish Israelis. While two million Arabs are living in Israel, there are scarcely more than 4,000 Jews left in Arab countries.

If Israel was birthed by modern European colonialism, so were the 22 Arab states that achieved independence at roughly the same time. The Middle East is misrepresented as “the Arab world.” In fact, the region is a rich patchwork of different peoples, ethnicities and sects. The Arabs are not the only ones who deserve political rights.

Indigenous peoples of the Middle East—Kurds, Assyrians, Jews, Armenians—attended the 1919 Paris Peace Conference and called for autonomy or national self-determination. Only the Jews and the Armenians managed to achieve it. Lebanon survived for a few decades as a haven for Maronite Christians but is now thought to have a Muslim majority.

Not only are the 22 Arab countries 99% Muslim but several are failed states. There are only a few exceptions. As things stand, non-Muslim minorities can only be accepted if they surrender their collective identity. The Muslim denial of collective minority rights is rooted in the historical rejection of non-Muslim peoplehood. At best, Islam treats them as a faith, not an ethnic group.

Iran is not an Arab country but it applies a strict form of Islamic law. Iranian Jews are not allowed to occupy government or army posts. They are ostensibly allowed to practice their religion but forbidden contact with the “Little Satan”—Israel. Like Assyrians and Zoroastrians, Jews are represented in Parliament by a token mouthpiece of the regime and are forced to echo the party line or face arrest and even death.

Egregiously, they are, like Arvin Ghahremani, at the mercy of an institutionally racist legal system that abuses their human rights.

This is the dystopian future those who advocate sharia law plan to apply to non-Muslims outside Iran.

Under Islamic law, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, no punishment need be applied.
