However, the Arabic `abd has another meaning: Black person or in the plural `abid [if I am not mistaken] means Blacks. Of course, there is another Arabic word for Blacks: <i>Sudan</i> [singular: aswad]. Of course that is the name of a country in Africa islamized and partially arabized centuries ago. But the fact that the Arabs called the people there sudan means that they were quite aware of their skin color. If I am not mistaken, the term bilad as-Sudan [countries or country of the Blacks] was sometimes applied to all of sub-Saharan Africa.<br />Bernard Lewis wrote two books on that theme. I think one was called Race and Color in Islam, and the other was called Slavery in the Arab World. I cannot remember the exact titles at this moment.<br /><br />by the way, I found the article at the link which is a palestinian Arab answer to Israeli claims for $250 million dollar for Jews from Arab lands and Iran.<br />http://www.palestinechronicle.com/the-moral-travesty-of-israel-demanding-arab-and-iranian-money-for-its-own-nakba/?fbclid=IwAR3uIXdhLcrrmNO2GBvTv0tyNHcuurBACH2lJJ13HpFE0Kq2t_8iw6RztgAEliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-56655950227917249362019-01-22T08:36:48.624+00:002019-01-22T08:36:48.624+00:00Eliyahu, it is also an irony that 'whiteness&#...Eliyahu, it is also an irony that 'whiteness' is well regarded by the Arabs. The darker a person is in their eyes the closer he is to a slave.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-41139570286328869642019-01-21T19:24:16.606+00:002019-01-21T19:24:16.606+00:00As to that Tamimi woman, it is a terrible irony th...<br />As to that Tamimi woman, it is a terrible irony that she is lionized by those who don't mind when Arabs murder swarthy Jews. She is blonde and praises those who murder Jews, whether they are swarthy or olive-skinned or pale or even blonde. So skin color is not the real issue. My mother was olive-skinned. Her father was brown, or maybe more precisely butterscotch in skin color. My mother's parents were both born in Belarus and spoke Yiddish. In tsarist Russia, Jews certainly did not enjoy any "white skin privilege."<br /><br />The way people like these American "leftist" young ignoramuses think you might think that they are using white not as a skin color but as a name for a social class for people who supposedly are rich, have money etc. In that case, one might think that they are merely foolishly equating the color white with rich, as if white = rich. <br />But here we have another problem, the Saudis and even more so the Persian Gulf Arabs, like Qataris, Kuwaitis, etc. are rich, often super rich. The per capita income of those countries is likely higher than the American per cap income. But when Arabs are rich, that fact is overlooked, even if slavery goes on in Qatar in a unique form. But Qatar finances Hamas. So maybe that makes them the good guys. But then we are back to another pretext for Judeophobia. It is not being rich that is bad and it is not being empirically white and blonde that is bad. It is being Jewish that they hate, that they believe is bad. <br /><br />See link for more on this theme and for pix of Tamimi:<br />http://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2018/03/are-blonde-arabs-still-semites-do-they.htmlEliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
