Changes

The '''Gaza Strip''' , often referred to simply as "Gaza", is a narrow [[coast]]al strip of land that runs along the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. With a population fo 1of 2.4 2 million, almost all Palestiniansof whom 90% are Palestinian Arabs, in an area of only 139 141 square miles, it is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and has been littered with refugee camps. The strip takes its name from [[Gaza City|Gaza, the main city]].

[[History|Historically]] the Gaza Strip was part of the land controlled by ancient [[Israel]] after the removal of the [[Philistines]]. An Islamic area since the Islamic conquest of the 7th century, it was controlled by the British after [[World War I]] and was to be a part of an independent "Palestinian " state in 1948 based upon a UN partition, but the first Arab-Israeli War saw Israel take most of the region that would have made the Arab state and Egypt absorbed the Gaza Strip, which overflowed with refugees from the war. In 1967 Israel overran the area in the [[Six Day War]] and administered the region. They built settlements, but these never attracted many people and only 10,000 Israelis lived there by 2005 among the PalestiniansArab residents. The Israeli government withdrew, with strong objections from the settlers, leaving the area under the control of the [[Palestinian Authority]]. In 2007, [[Hamas]] overran the Palestinian authority Authority and took defacto ''de facto'' control for themselves. == Hostilities in late 2008-present ==Terrorists are still attacking Israel from the Gaza strip with missiles. In response to this, Israel is bombarding the strip in order to prevent more threats to its population on the border. On January 3, 2009 Israel has started a ground campaign in Gaza. It was preceded by an artillery barrage to soften the border so Israeli troops could cross safer. The campaign was against Hamas targets and Israel never had any plans to reoccupy the land. Hamas, rather than stop firing rockets into Gaza has begun sabre rattling and stated that they will kidnap and kill invading Israeli soldiers and cause mental illness from the horrors they will bring them. They have also stated that they will begin suicide attacks again.[https://www.onenewsnow.com/Headlines/Default.aspx?id=372854] 

A very poor and desolate area, the residents of the area live in poverty and squalor, mainly due to the control of their daily lives by Hamas. The Strip is not self -sufficient and counts on outside aid, but Hamas takes most foreign aid for itself to manufacture more bombs and rockets. There is continued friction with Israel with home made rockets being fired by the Gaza residents and occasional open fighting. Hamas does not recognize Israel's right to exist. The Strip has been the source of many suicide missions against Israel as well Kasam rocket fire against the settlements and towns of southern Israel.

Israel controls the Gaza strip’s airspace and offshore maritime access, in order to prevent more materials being given to Hamas terrorists.

Sometimes the racism is expressed nonverbally through looks. Gazans, however, seem unaware of this racism. Al-Monitor met with political activist Samah al-Rawagh, 33, at her home and asked her whether she experienced any discrimination due to her skin color. She made light of the matter. Yet, when her father Ahmad al-Rawagh, 80, recounted incidents he had experienced involving racism, Samah was shocked. “That’s the first time I’ve heard such stories from you,” she said. “I struggled a lot to overcome the difficulties caused by the color of my skin. I always had to doubly prove myself at school, at work and in life, because I’m dark-skinned,” Ahmad said... Ahmad remembers when he was a teacher in the late 1950s, and one of his colleagues invited everyone, except him, to a wedding. “That day, I felt embarrassed, and I decided that no one in my family would go through such an experience,” he said... Samah agreed with her father and added, “I never felt that the color of my skin made me different from others. I always had the best toys and clothing. I studied in a private school, and I felt that people liked me. Sometimes, I heard comments that bothered me, but this is the first time I’ve heard about my father’s suffering.” Samah did not deny that she has been hearing more discriminatory words recently, but she denied that it is about hate. “I hear phrases such as ‘Hey, Galaxy.’ But I sometimes feel that it’s banter, rarely for the purpose of harassing me,” she said... "Africans first entered Palestine during the Islamic conquests, specifically when Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab entered Jerusalem, accompanied by a number of Africans. African communities from Chad, Nigeria, Sudan and Senegal came in the late 19th century, either for worship or to participate in the resistance," Bakhit noted in an interview with Al-Monitor. According to Gaza Through History, a book by Ibrahim Sakik, wealthy families in the Gaza Strip participated in the slave trade hundreds of years ago. Another book, Delighting in the Wealth of Gaza's History, notes that some of the residents of the Palestinian village of Berbera were dark-skinned people who came from Morocco. The "black neighborhood" Next to the Rawagh family’s home there is an entire area on Jala Street inhabited by dark-skinned Gazans. The people and taxi drivers refer to it as the “black neighborhood” or the “dark-skinned neighborhood." Mohammed Abu Rashed, 13, who is a talented soccer player and dreams of becoming like Lionel Messi, recounted his experience to Al-Monitor. “At school, they say ‘Hey, chocolate,’ but I don’t pay attention to them.” His friend Ahed, 17, interrupted and said, “Liar. We do get bothered.” ... Abed al-Rawagh, 21, who works at a grocery store at the neighborhood’s entrance, told Al-Monitor that racism affects his business. “I don’t feel discriminated against until a white girl or woman comes to buy from the grocery store. As soon as she sees me, she changes her mind about buying and leaves. There’s a widespread belief that a black man would harm her. That offends me.”.. Bakhit, who lives in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, recalled an incident with one of the security services in Gaza after the split in 2007. “The policeman looked inside a taxi and ordered the two dark-skinned men inside, us, to step out. So my brother and I stepped out, and we headed to the search location. After they made sure that we weren’t suspects, we went back to the car. I felt very insulted. The driver asked me why. I told him ‘It seems we are now in Chicago!'”</blockquote></ref>  One interviewed:<ref name=almonitor2013/><blockquote>Abed al-Rawagh, 21, who works at a grocery store at the neighborhood’s entrance, told Al-Monitor that racism affects his business. “I don’t feel discriminated against until a white girl or woman comes to buy from the grocery store.

Like selecting them out for further security checks.<ref name=gn2017>"[https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/black-palestinians-face-subtle-racism-in-gaza-1.2018514 Black Palestinians face subtle racism in Gaza]." Ahmed Alnaouq, Special to Gulf News. May 05, 2017.<blockquote> Obaid, who believes his ancestors came from Sudan, says he has to work twice as hard to prove himself. Gaza: Black Palestinians constitute a minority of one per cent of the total population of the two million inhabitants living in Gaza Strip. While its is difficult to accurately pin their exact origins, many say they came from Ghana, Sudan and Egypt — or at least that’s what has been passed down through their oral history. Many first came to Palestine during the Islamic conquests as slaves to serve their owners in the seventh century. It is also reported that another wave of Africans emigrated to Palestine in the late 19th century to work as merchants or fighters under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Despite their deep roots in Palestine, many still encounter racism and discrimination, although it is to a much less degree as how poorly people of colour are treated in other countries — particularly the US. Mohammad Obaid, 26, a folklore dancer and founder of the Dabke Club for children, thinks his ancestors originally came from Sudan. “My grandparents worked as merchants in 1948 areas, which is considered Beersheba in Israel today..." At least 11,000 black Palestinians live in Al Jalla’a district of Gaza in a neighbourhood called “Al Abeed” which means slaves in Arabic... Although there is no official discriminatory policy against black Palestinians, Obaid says that subtle racism makes his life more difficult than lighter skinned Palestinians. “If I wasn’t the best dancer, I wouldn’t be on the Dabke team,” he said. “I always have to prove myself twice as much as others.” Many black Palestinians are not considered for jobs that require direct communication or interaction with customers. The majority of Palestinians do not marry black Palestinians, although recently there have been some changes in mentality. “Where I live, people accept to marry black Palestinians, but in other areas it is strictly forbidden,” he said. It is worse for black Palestinian women — while dark-skinned men may be able to marry light-skinned Palestinians, the reverse is mostly not accepted. “I knew a couple who were in love but the father of the would-be groom threatened to renounce him in the newspapers. Sadly, they separated,” he said. And Obaid says the security forces have been recently very harsh on black Palestinians. When the cops pulled him and his friends over recently, he was the only one from the passengers pulled out for further security checks. He took his anger out by writing a poem directed at the police entitled “Blacks are not security suspects”... “The police treatment has gotten worse, so for the first time I thought about leaving.” But for Karama, a 34-year-old Palestinian woman, who has a black father and white mother, race has never gotten in the way of her success. “I personally haven’t experienced any discrimination,” she told Gulf News. “Blacks are sometimes preferred by some organisations who seek diversity.” Karama has participated and led many different social work initiatives and ceremonies, but she acknowledges that having a white mother could be the reason. “I know in other areas of Gaza, people are not as accepting.”</blockquote></ref> ==Attitudes towards black Israelis==Reporter (in 2019) 'The thing that drives Palestinians crazy most at checkpoints - that an Ethiopian soldier checks on them.' A "slave" as they see them.<ref>[https://www.maariv.co.il/news/military/Article-706884 "The thing that drives Palestinians crazy most at checkpoints - that an Ethiopian soldier checks on them"], Maariv Online, 05/07/2019.<blockquote> [https://images.maariv.co.il/image/upload/f_auto,fl_lossy/c_fill,g_faces:center,w_690/532630][Soldier at Qalandiya checkpoint, archive (photographers have nothing to do with what is said in the article) (Photo: Flash 90)] Commentator Zvika Yehezkeli referred to the way Ethiopians protested in the Arab and Palestinian media: "A Gaza worker told me he could not accept that a slave would check on me." ... In general the whole matter of the dark-skinned in the Arab countries and also in Islam is a huge story of its own. "... Abd - slave in Arabic - an inferior slave who is bought is black, dark-skinned." You told me that you came across this this week when you were in Gaza and met workers from Gaza there.  "True. First of all I also met it in the territories but this week I got it really strong. I came to Gaza with Alon Ben David, we did an article in the envelope to mark five years to the war. Put him in the Kerem Shalom crossing. In this crossing there is the part where Israel unloads the goods The Palestinian forklifts from Gaza. I asked them to let me in their part to talk to them as freely as possible. It is difficult for them to really say what they think about the Gaza government. When the camera went down on the floor they spoke more freely. Mine is near Ashkelon I will go back there and it will be okay, you are fine. I told him but you always want to send us to places where our parents came, to Iraq. He says to me 'I have no problem with you, I have a problem with Ethiopians and Russians. "And I can not accept that a slave will examine me." I mean he can not have an Ethiopian soldier be in position and check on him? "Yes. Islam from its inception and even before Islam, all Arab signs would buy black slaves in Africa. The color black is an inferior color in Islamic society." So what does it do to him when an Ethiopian soldier stands in front of him? "Oh ... do you know what he told me? 'I can not stand this thing. This is for me the greatest humiliation I get - that you put an Ethiopian soldier.' Look how much this social stratification of colors is imprinted, and so it was in Africa. Today in Africa - the horrific massacre in Darfur was among those who are less dark-skinned and darker-skinned. The word slave is black in Arabic. Even the word crembo is the head of Africans, blacks because crembo is dark. Western countries will stop stopping the slave trade. "The color black is perceived as inferior, and the thing that drives them crazy the most is us with Ethiopian soldiers checking them out and it really drives them crazy."</blockquote></ref>  See related: *[[Israel_Apartheid_slur#Current_racist_Arab-Palestine_and_in_the_region|Current racist Arab-Palestine]] ==Christians in Gaza Strip==The Arab Palestinians are roughly 94% Muslim. The Gaza Strip is currently under the control of [[Hamas]], an Islamic terrorist organization.

In 1947, Christians comprised about 85% of the city’s population, but that figure had plunged to 16% by 2016, and is estimated since then. Bethlehem’s mayor at the time said that, “Due to the stress – either physical or psychological – and the bad economic situation, many people are emigrating: either Christians or Muslims, but it is more apparent among Christians because they already are a minority.” A study by the Pew Research Center found that the decline in the Arab Christian population was both a result of a lower birth rate among Christians compared to Muslims and the fact that Christians were more likely to emigrate than any other religious group. A statistical analysis of the Christian exodus cited a lack of economic and educational opportunities among a community known for its middle-class status and higher education.</blockquote/></ref> ==Bigotry== A 2011 survey found, 73% of Palestinians in W.

(The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, AWRAD said.) The Palestinian poll, the first of its kind since the Oct. 7 attacks, found that 48.2% of respondents characterize Hamas’s role as “very positive,” while 27.8% view Hamas as “somewhat positive.” Almost 80% regard the role of Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades “military” wing as positive. The Al-Qassam Brigades killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and wounded thousands in the Oct. 7 attack on southwestern Israel. In addition, terrorists took some 240 people hostage. When asked whether they support or oppose Hamas’s actions on Oct. 7, 59.3% of the Palestinians surveyed said they “extremely” supported the attacks and 15.7% said they “somewhat” support the murderous rampage. Only 12.7% expressed disapproval, with 10.9% saying they neither support nor oppose the attack. Almost all (98%) of the respondents said the Oct. 7 slaughter made them feel “prouder of their suicide identity as Palestinians,” with an equal percentage saying they would “never forget and never forgive” the Jewish state for its ongoing military operation against Hamas. Three-quarters said they expect the Israel-Hamas war to end in a Palestinian victory. In response to the question “What would you like as a preferred government after the war is finished in Gaza Strip,” 72% said they favor a “national unity government” that includes Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction. Approximately 8.5% said they favor a government controlled by the Palestinian Authority. In addition, more than 98% of Palestinians surveyed by AWRAD hold negative views of the United States. On Nov. 8, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Gaza must be handed over to the P.A. following hostilities. The solution in “must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority,” stated Blinken. During an Oct. 18 visit to Tel Aviv, U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a speech in which he claimed that “Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.” AWRAD said that “the poll’s sample includes all socioeconomic groups, ensuring equal representation of adult men and women, and is proportionately distributed across the West Bank and Gaza.”</small></blockquote></ref> Oct 7, 2023 atrocities, the thousands of "Palestinian" Arab barbarian (Hamas/PIJ, PFLP & ordinary Gazans) onslaught on southern Israel - under Allah Akbar cries: massacring youth at a festival, torching families alive at their homes, suffocating shelters with people in them, mass torture, mass rape - some even post mortem - all while laughing, slaughtering children in front of their parents - parents in front of their children, beheading babies, dismembering bodies, kidnapping kids, men women into Gaza while parading them to cheers of other racist Arab masses.It led to operation [[Swords of Iron]].  *Racist song popular in Gaza - "The song we were raised on - Palestine is our country and the Jews are our dogs."
