On the irony of Ashkenazi Jews using "looking European" as a rhetorical weapon against Palestinians [apropos of #Wix's "unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans,"] meet Esther Schreiber, non-archaeologist with inflated CV and an elaborate cloth headscarf resembling a tea towel (a "tichel")... This one was appointed by Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu to lead the Israel Antiquities Authority. Eliyahu also advanced a bill to create a "Judea and Samaria Heritage Authority" for occupied West Bank, replacing military archaeology officer, with land expropriation powers in Areas A+B+C. Eliyahu said it's "an interim stage until full sovereignty."

"Stop patronising hijabi Muslim women by telling them to consider how other Muslim women may find hijab oppressive, as if we have not already done so.
We know how religion is weaponised in places where Muslims are the majority. We also know how your governments weaponise anti-Muslim rhetoric globally, and we understand where Islam stands in the global order.
Who are you trying to fool here?
Treating Muslim subjects as if we are insulated from that order and reminding us that “contradictions exist” is a projection of the privilege enjoyed by those who benefit from that system."

"Muslims are not neutral subjects in the global order, and Islam is already positioned as suspect within it. The conversation about hijab does not happen in a vacuum. Take authoritarianism in Iran, for example.
Instead of seeing authoritarianism as inherently gendered and violent, as an inevitable feature of patriarchy, as a system that justifies itself by co-opting any moral framework, you view it as either “uniquely Islam”, an “Abrahamic religions issue”, or “proof that all religions are oppressive.” Why don’t you name a secular, non-authoritarian, non-misogynistic nation-state, then?"

I don't like how fellow Muslims talk about Islam to Western audiences. It's always defensive. Taking the offensive stance once in a while is necessary. Islam doesn't need defending. It's those who paint it as dangerous that need to explain themselves.
Read my critique of Western political frameworks. Consider it a mirror for those who claim to be allies in the West and “anti-imperialist.”

Orientalism and the Denial of Muslim Political Agency
Western political discourse often treats Muslims as politically illegible, interpreting Muslim societies through secular or liberal frameworks. This critique examines how Orientalism embedded in Western political thought denies Muslim political agency and frames Islamic resistance as a threat rather than a response to imperial violence.https://wrzky.com/orientalism-and-the-denial-of-muslim-political-agency/

Is Islam Compatible with Modern Values?
When people ask whether Islam is compatible with modernity, they often assume Western liberalism as history’s endpoint. Islam does not exist to validate modernity; it exists to form an ethical life, challenge power, and expose the violence hidden inside “progress.” -

“The Orient and Islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the Western expert. From the beginning of Western speculation about the Orient, the one thing the orient could not do was to represent itself. Evidence of the Orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the Orientalist’s work.”
― Edward W. Said, Orientalism

The other day on ErosBlog I posted a bit of lurid burnoosed-men-on-camels white-slaving nonsense from a 1960 pulp magazine, but that's not what this toot is about.
It reminded me that, back in 2018 and 2019, I wrote about how posting softcore Orientalist harem porn while people were protesting putting a rapist on the Supreme Court just didn't set right:

Wow, this is so far the worst case of distorting history I've seen when it comes to the specific topic of #antisemitism. This is on the same bar as #HolocaustDenial. :reimu_sigh:
These "pro-Palestinians" are literally going to ignore the fact that an ignorant German journalist in 1879 coined the term "antisemitism" as we know it today to exclusively refer to the Jewish people. That journalist didn't know that the "semitism" was supposed to refer to more than Jews.
Worse, the term "semite" and "semitic" as racial groups has long been obsolete and considered #racist (think lumping together the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese under the "yellow race" because they look the same, it's similar to what is happening here with "Semitism"). So not only is #GLOSM / #PARES truly #antisemitic (no matter how hard they try to deny it), but is also subconsciously showing their #racism (or #orientalism) towards #Palestinians, #Jews, and other peoples of the #MiddleEast.
But what can you expect from a "non-profit entity" operating from the #Netherlands. :cirnoShrug:
#Europe truly is a problematic and shameful place. :seija_coffee:
