"Trapped by Mobs on Jerusalem Day: Far-right Jewish Rage Didn't Spare Journalists

I thought I was just caught in the crossfire, but hadn't realized that I, wearing my press card, was also a target. When police finally arrived, it was to push reporters away rather than defend us. 'Go, get out of here!' shouted a border policeman as he shoved me

"You need to stop filming, you're hurting Israel's image," a young Haredi man told me in English in Jerusalem's Old City, as Israeli teenagers began to stream in ahead of the annual Jerusalem Day flag march. Beside him, young boys, no older than 12-years-old, tried to cover my phone's camera with their hands and kippot. A group of far-right teens had gathered outside Damascus Gate, the main entrance to the Muslim Quarter, chanting "death to Arabs."

"British Palestinians and Arabs call for 'equal protection' from Starmer
'Our marches in London are not spaces of hate; they are spaces of shared humanity', letter to UK prime minister reads
Prominent British Palestinians and Arabs have told Prime Minister Keir Starmer “our marches in London are not spaces of hate”, as they call for “equal protection” ahead of events marking the 78th anniversary of the Nakba on Saturday.

The Nakba 78 march for Palestine will take place in London on Saturday, with a far-right “Unite the Kingdom” rally led by Tommy Robinson planned for the same time.

London’s Metropolitan Police has warned that it is preparing for violence and has drafted in more than 4,000 officers for the events.

In a letter, the group of British figures from Palestinian and wider Arab communities called on Starmer to provide “equal protection” during the demonstrations.

They warned of a “growing sense of fear and anxiety” among British Arabs and Palestinians, some of whom feel as though equal attention is not being provided to the safety and security of their communities."

LA NOTIZIA: Gli opposti razzismi

A Londra un uomo ha accoltellato due ebrei fuori da una sinagoga. L’antisemitismo è in aumento, ma l’Europa che fa? Niente?

Gentile lettore, userei il termine antiebraismo, perché antisemitismo è una parola fraudolenta: anche gli arabi sono semiti. Ma oltre all’antiebraismo, c’è anche un’escalation opposta, contro cristiani e musulmani. A Roma è stato arrestato un ebreo che il 25 aprile sparò contro due iscritti dell’Associazione Partigiani. In Israele un crocifisso demolito da un soldato, una suora pestata a pugni e calci da un fanatico ebreo, e a Pasqua i soliti sputi sulla processione: è un vero rigurgito anticristiano. Quanto all’antiebraismo, i leader europei sanno bene che è dovuto al fatto che Ue e Uk sono totalmente complici del genocidio israeliano. Molti rappresentanti delle comunità ebraiche, in Italia e altrove (per esempio Liliana Segre, Corriere della sera 29.11.24), sostengono che non ci sia genocidio a Gaza. Altri addirittura dicono che i palestinesi avrebbero conosciuto dal 7 ottobre 2023 un forte incremento demografico. Qui siamo alla follia. Detto ciò, la leadership europea non cambierà corso, perché è permeata dai poteri che si raccolgono intorno alla finanza ebraica mondiale e controllano la politica europea e statunitense. Esclusi molti ebrei moralmente integri, i sionisti si fanno forti dei poteri forti, ma sono una piccola minoranza della popolazione europea e statunitense ed è pensabile, da un punto di vista storico e sociologico, che a lungo andare rimarranno schiacciati dalla frana che loro stessi avranno provocato. Chi è cagion del suo mal, pianga sé stesso.

The opposite racism(s)

In London, a man stabbed two Jews outside a synagogue. Antisemitism is on the rise, but what is Europe doing? Nothing?

Dear reader, I would use the term antijudaism, because antisemitism is a fraudulent word: Arabs are also Semites. But in addition to antijudaism, there is also an opposite escalation, against Christians and Muslims. In Rome, an Jew was arrested who on April 25th shot at two members of the Association of Partisans. In Israel, a crucifix demolished by a soldier, a nun beaten with fists and kicks by a fanatical Jew, and on Easter, the usual spitting on the procession: it's a real resurgence of anti-Christian sentiment. As for antijudaism, European leaders know well that it is due to the fact that the EU and UK are totally complicit in the genocide of Israel. Many representatives of Jewish communities, in Italy and elsewhere (for example, Liliana Segre, Corriere della sera 29.11.24), maintain that there is no genocide in Gaza. Others even say that Palestinians have experienced a significant demographic increase since October 7th, 2023. Here we are going mad. With that said, European leadership will not change course, because it is permeated by the powers that have gathered around world Jewish finance and control European and American politics. Excluding many morally upright Jews, Zionists make themselves strong with the power of power, but they are a small minority of the European and American population and it is conceivable, from a historical and sociological point of view, that in the long run they will be crushed by the landslide they themselves will have provoked. He who is the cause of his own misfortune, should blame himself.

Voting rights protections were created to ensure that every community has a fair opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. They have helped Hispanic communities, Asian American communities—including Korean, Japanese, and many others—and Arab American communities gain meaningful representation in our democracy.

These protections were born out of the sacrifices and struggles of the Black civil rights movement, which fought not just for one

Curse of Ham

Author’s Note: This post talks about some very racist ideas. We here at Spirituality & Religious Studies DO NOT agree with ANY racist rhetoric at all, EVER! If this post triggers you, please move on to 1 of our other posts. Thank you.

In the Book of Genesis, the curse of Ham is described as a curse that was imposed upon Ham’s son, Canaan, by the patriarch Noah. It happens in the context of Noah’s drunkenness & it’s provoked by a “shameful” act that was perpetrated by Noah’s son, Ham, who “saw the nakedness of his father.”

The exact reason for Ham’s transgressions & the reason Noah cursed Canaan when Ham had sinned has been debated for over 2,000 years.

The story’s original purpose may have been to justify the biblical subjection of the Canaanites to the Israelites, or a land claim to a portion of the New Kingdom of Egypt, which ruled Canaan in the late Bronze Age.

In later centuries, the narrative was interpreted by some Jews, Christians, & Muslims as an explanation for black skin. As well as a justification for the enslavement of black people. Many Christians, Muslims, & Jews now disagree with such interpretations. Because in the biblical text, Ham himself isn’t cursed. Race or skin color isn’t even mentioned in the text at all, anywhere.

The idea of this curse has its beginnings in Genesis 9:20-27. The story goes:

Noah began to be a farmer. He planted a vineyard. He drank some of the wine that the vineyard produced & enjoyed the drink a little too much. Noah was naked in his tent. Ham (the dad of Canaan) saw Noah’s nakedness. Ham told his 2 brothers. Shem & Jepheth took a garment & put the garment on both their shoulders & covered Noah’s nakedness, while they walked backwards. They kept their faces turned away from Noah so they didn’t see him naked.

Noah woke up from his drunken stupor. He knew what Ham had done. “Cursed be Canaan. A servant of servants will be to his brothers. Blessed be the Lord God of Shem. Canaan will be his servant. God will enlarge Japheth. He’ll live in the tents of Shem. Canaan will be his servant,” Noah said. (Genesis 9:20-27)

The objection of the story may have been to justify the subject status of the Canaanites (the descendants of Ham) to the Israelites (the descendants of Shem). The narrative of the curse is replete with difficulties. It’s uncertain what the exact nature of Ham’s offense is.

In verse 25 of the Genesis story, Noah refers to Shem & Japheth as the “brethren” of Canaan. However, in verse 18, they’re identified as his uncles.

The Table of Nations introduces Canaan & Mizraim (Egypt) among the sons of Ham. The Table of Nations is a genealogy of the sons of Noah & their dispersion into many lands after the Flood. In the Psalms, Egypt is identified with Ham.

A land claim on Canaan, which fell under the rule of the New Kingdom of Egypt in the late Bronze Age, has been suggested as a motive for the curse on Canaan & the association with Ham via Ancient Egypt’s rule over Canaan.

It’s important to realize that the curse was placed/made by Noah, not by God. The curse of Ham (& his descendants) wasn’t confirmed by God. Because the text would mention that, or at least you’d think it would if God had confirmed it. And if God had actually confirmed the curse, then why was the “promised land” called Canaan?

A pesher (interpretation) of the Book of Genesis found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, explains that since Ham was already blessed by God, it made Noah’s curse null & void (Genesis 9:1).

The Book of Jubilees also tells the tale. Jubilees gives a bit more info that Ham had assigned to Canaan a land west of the Nile. All of Noah’s sons agreed to invoke a curse on anyone who tries to seize land that wasn’t assigned to them. Well, Canaan violates this agreement & instead chooses to squat in the land set forth to Shem & his descendants. So Canaan brought on himself the full force of this second curse.

In the past, some groups have claimed that the curse of Ham was a biblical justification for imposing slavery & racial discrimination.

In the 15th century, Dominican Friar Annius of Viterbo invoked Ham’s curse to explain the differences between Europeans & Africans in his writings. Annius doubled down on the racism. He claimed that due to the curse imposed on black people, they would inevitably remain permanently subjugated by Arabs & other Muslims.

Similarly, the Catholic mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich said in her visions that she discovered that black people are, in fact, descendants of Ham.

In 1835, Joseph Smith (founder of the Mormon faith) published a work called the Book of Abraham. Get ready, it’s going to be a very bumpy & cringy ride. This is your trigger warning.

This “work” states that the Pharaoh was a descendant of Ham & the Canaanites. Pharaoh ruled justly & was blessed with wisdom, but was barred from getting into the priesthood because of the curse on Ham. According to the Book of Abraham, ALL Egyptians descended from the Canaanite lineage.

The Book of Abraham was eventually made into Scripture by the Mormon Church. And it is still in active use today. This passage is the only 1 found in any Mormon scripture that bars a particular “lineage” of people from holding the priesthood.

While there’s nothing in the Book of Abraham that explicitly states that Noah’s curse was the same curse that is mentioned in the Bible, or that the Egyptians were related to other black Africans. Some leaders later used the verses of this text as justification for the church policy with regard to the priesthood ban.

The 2002 edition of the Doctrine & Covenants Student Manual pointed to Abraham 1:21-27 as the reason why highly melaninated friends of the male gender weren’t given the priesthood until 1978. That’s 148 years, y’all. Really? That’s almost 150 years, guys. We can’t. We just can’t. And here’s the kicker: they also said that those who tried to abolish slavery were going against the decrees of God.
