Israel and Muslim Racism


Figure 1.-- This is a cartoon from "Kayhan" (Universe)which is one one of the most influential newspapers in Iran, published by the Kayhan Institute. It is currently managed by Hossein Shariatmadari, who is also the representative of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the Institute. The cartoonist here commonly uses obviously racist imagery. The cartoon here is a good example. He usually includes a boy and a girl looking on.

The Muslim world have accused Isreal of racism. This is a topic we would like to investigate. The rational for for the Muslim charges seems to be primarily that Israel has occupied the West Bank and at one time Gaza. We don't know of any openly racist policies persued by Israel which have integrated Jews from all over the world, including Ethiopia, into Isreali society. I do not know a great deal about the Isreali media to assess racil bias or how race issues are dealt with in Isreali schools. On the other hand race hated appears to be widespead in Aran, Iranuan, and other Muslim media. We note imagery thatt is similar to that used by the NAZIs. We also note vile racist statements in Muslim textbooks, including Palestinian textbooks which are in part financed by European countries.

Muslim World

On the other hand race hated appears to be widespead in Aran, Iranuan, and other Muslim media. We note imagery that is similar to that used by the NAZIs. The difficult thing to understand here is that the Arabs like the Isrealis are a Semetic people with the same physical characteristics that the NAZIs picked up in the images they used to demonize the Jews. Thus it is hard to understad why the Arabs and countries that support the Arabs would use this imagery. We also note vile racist statements in Muslim textbooks, including Palestinian textbooks which are in part financed by European countries.
