Jewish And Arab Historical / Ongoing Family Disagreements ? What concerns me is Black people supporting causes without first considering their own priorities when, '' We have no real friends'' .

 

People shouldn’t take sides in family fights until they truly know what’s going on, or until they are fully informed and emotionally settled about whatever the issue is, regardless of the allegations coming from either side.

In the current global climate, there seems to be a surge of anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, and even anti-Zionist sentiment all over the world, including in places where one would not expect to encounter it. It’s alarming, and it feels repetitive. 

If you study history, you’ll notice similarities between what is happening now and the anti-Jewish sentiments in Europe before World War II. The same types of accusations resurface: claims that Jews control the global financial system, accusations of cannibalism or baby-eating—things that, historically, Black people have also been falsely accused of. Seeing this kind of rhetoric reappear in 2026 is disturbing.

That brings me back to my original point. If we study history, we’ll see how easy it is for people to rush headlong into situations like Gaza and Palestine without fully understanding them.

 I’m not getting into the political details; it’s not my domain, and I reserve the right to remain silent or uninvolved in that particular conflict. What concerns me is Black people supporting causes without first considering their own priorities. Our priority should be the Black world first. Anything beyond that is secondary.

If we look at parts of the Arab world, we see that in some places Black people are still referred to as “AbD,” meaning slave. There have been documented cases—videos even—of Saudi families beating Ethiopian, Falasha, or other Black maids close to death. 

We’ve seen atrocities committed against Black people that mirror the very abuses some Arabs accuse the Israeli army of committing in Gaza. After the fall of Gaddafi in Libya, Black people were put in cages while people shouted “Allahu Akbar.” 

How can someone shout the name of God while treating human beings worse than dogs?

Yes, we could spend a lifetime listing alleged crimes of Jews and talking about power structures. I’m not taking sides. If cannibalism or abuse occurred in cases like Epstein’s circle, he certainly wasn’t operating alone. 

What’s striking is that among his associates were powerful Arabs—billionaires and elites—some of whom secretly sent him [ Jewish Epstein ] a piece of the cloth that covers Meccas Kaaba, they secretly begged for and  promoted the idea of Arab & Epstein_Jewish friendship [ caught on tape ], all while ordinary Arab Muslim people in Gaza were suffering and refugees across the Islamic world were begging for water and basic necessities. 

At a certain level of power, religion seems to become just another tool for control. The same people who publicly condemn each other often cooperate privately when it suits them.

That’s why we need to be careful. We have no real friends in these power struggles. 

I’ve personally witnessed extreme racism from both sides. 

When you encounter a Jewish racist and an Arab racist, both can display the same toxic, salivating / venomous, serial killer hostility toward Black people. I’ve seen Arabs spit in their hands before touching Black people. I’ve seen Jewish individuals express intense hatred toward Black people. I’ve seen similar attitudes among Eastern Europeans. The venom can come from multiple directions.

In many parts of the Middle East and in Eastern Europe, and in numerous developing countries, there hasn’t been the same historical struggle for universal suffrage, industrial labour rights, children’s rights, and human rights movements that took place in the West. 

Those battles shaped modern concepts of equality. Now, people from these regions can hold influential positions in Western societies—educated, fluent in English, indistinguishable on paper from locals—but the mindset driving them can still be deeply regressive.

I’ve encountered more Middle Eastern individuals who treated me as though I didn’t belong in Europe than Western Europeans. Eastern Europeans can show similar tendencies. We need to be honest about that.

At this point, the priority for Black people worldwide should be Black survival. Let everything else fall where it may. Black priority first. Because when these geopolitical storms calm down, history shows that alliances shift. Arabs participated in capturing and selling Black people. Jews participated in insuring ships and building financial systems tied to that trade. When it suited them, they cooperated in the selling of Black bodies. Yet we are quick to label one as friend and the other as enemy, and to sacrifice ourselves for causes that may not ultimately prioritize us.

It’s time to think critically and put our own survival and advancement first.
