- Iraq: Devastation of Marsh Arabs.
- (New York, January 25, 2003) Iraq’s Marsh Arabs, having barely survived a fifteen-year campaign by the central government to eliminate them, will be at further risk in the event of war, Human Rights Watch warned today.
- The Iraqi Government Assault on the Marsh Arabs.
- “The Marsh Arabs have suffered some of the worst repression in a highly repressive political system. ...
- In a 16-page briefing paper, “The Iraqi Government Assault on the Marsh Arabs,” Human Rights Watch documents how systematic bombardment of villages, widespread arbitrary arrests, torture, “disappearances,” summary executions, and forced displacement have reduced the Marsh Arabs from more than 250,000 to as few as 40,000. ...
- Large-scale government drainage projects have virtually wiped out the Marsh Arab economy and, along with severe repression, forced the displacement of at least 100,000 of the Marsh Arabs inside Iraq. ... “The Marsh Arabs have suffered some of the worst repression in a highly repressive political system,” said Joe Stork, Washington director of the Middle East and North Africa Division of Human Rights Watch. ...
- Many of the government’s acts of repression against the Marsh Arabs, because they were part of a widespread and systematic attack, constitute a crime against humanity, and Human Rights Watch called for an international tribunal to investigate and punish those responsible. ...
- Human Rights Watch urged the Iraqi government to release those Marsh Arabs it still holds in detention, and to clarify the fate of those who “disappeared” following arrest. ...
- “Whether or not there is war, there should certainly be an end to these systematic abuses and some measure of justice for the Marsh Arabs,” Stork said. ...

- Islam is the religion of the majority of Arabs, and like their counterparts, most Sudanese Arabs devoutly embrace the Islamic faith. ...

3. WHY DID THE ARABS FLEE IN 1948?
- www.shalomjerusalem.com
- WHY DID THE ARABS FLEE IN 1948?.
- Why did the Arabs flee in 1948? Why didn't the Jews? Who has the right of return?.
- Two main reasons have been advanced for the few hundred thousand Arabs who fled Palestine mostly ahead of the war against the tiny State of Israel which achieved statehood on May 14, 1948.
- First was the fictional massacre of Arabs in Deir Yassin at the hands of the Irgun and Lehi. So frightening were the stories of the killing of 'innocents' by the 'ferocious' Jews, so the Arabs alleged, that huge numbers upped and fled. ...
- The Arabs have never hesitated to shout 'massacre' to high heaven when dozens or scores are sometimes killed in battle. ...
- And how utterly unconcerned were many European nations which supported the Arabs in word and deed.
- Azam Pasha, Arab League Secretary General, proudly proclaimed the war aim of the Arabs, May 15, 1948. ...
- The second reason for the flight of the Arabs was the call by their leaders to get out and allow their armies to make short shrift of the Jews. ...
- Abu Mazen tells why Arabs fled .
- The Arabs fled because, unlike the Jews, they had no genuine attachment to the land. ...
- The spin sold to the world by the Arabs is that they were one nation in their homeland 'from time immemorial'. ...
- Peters quoted an early statement by Churchill (1939) that effectively challenged the claim that the Arabs had been in Palestine for millennia.
- "So far from being persecuted, the ARABS have CROWDED into the country till their population has INCREASED more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population. ...
- Did Palestine Arabs speak 51 languages?.
- Plus an additional 28 by Christian Arabs. 51 languages spoken by Arabs! .
4. Prophecy- Arabs
- www.balaams-ass.com
- All about Arabs and Bible prophecy, Islam's alleged spread debunked, Semitic roots of Arabs sustained PROPHECY-- ARABS .
- Our position regarding Arabs is that they are a permanent part of the Semitic family. ...
- Arabs are the bad guys of the media and the Fundamental Baptist gang. ... Who knows that for 400 years Jews and Arabs lived as good neighbors in Baghdad? Who knows that Maimonides, the famous Jewish scholar of Spain, and the leading Jewish thinker since the time of Christ, wrote nearly all his works in Arabic? Who knows that Arabs and Jews (non-Zionist) lived for hundreds of years as good neighbors in Palestine before 1948? On this page, there will be no Arab bashing. ...
- We simply do not allow ourselves the error of mixing the love of Arabs with out hate for the Islamic system. ...
- Again, to see how we view the Arabs and prophecy, read the chapters from the Editor's book mentioned above. ...

5. How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs
- www.aina.org
- Book review: How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs (online book) .
- Title How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs .
- After all, it was the Arabs who brought with them into Spain the Arabic versions of the Greek works, from which translations were made into Latin and spread throughout Europe, which was then in its dark age. ...
- The question remains: by whom, where, and when was the Greek body of knowledge transmitted to the Arabs themselves. O'Leary tells us: Greek scientific thought had been in the world for a long time before it reached the Arabs, and during that period it had already spread abroad in various directions. So it is not surprising that it reached the Arabs by more than one route. ... Then the Arabs applied themselves directly to the original Greek sources and learned over again all they had already learned, correcting and verifying earlier knowledge. ... Then there was also another line of passage through India which seems to have had its beginnings in the Greek kingdom of Bactria, one of the Asiatic states founded by Alexander the Great, and a land route long kept open between the Greek world and Central Asia, especially with the city of Marw, and this perhaps connects with a Buddhist medium which at one time promoted intercourse between east and west, though Buddhism as a religion was withdrawing to the Far East when the Arabs reached Central Asia. ...
- In this chapter O'Leary discusses the Nestorian contribution in the transmission of Greek knowledge to the Arabs. ...
- Ultimately it was the Aristotelian logic which, with the Greek medical, astronomical, and mathematical writers, was passed on to the Arabs. ...
- But the most definite link between Nestorians and the Arabs was through Jundi-Shapur. ...
- When Baghdad was founded in 762 the khalif and his court became near neighbors of Jundi-Shapur, and before long court appointments with generous emoluments began to draw Nestorian physicians and teachers from the academy, and in this Harun ar-Rashid's minister Ja'far Ibn Barmak was a leading agent, doing all in his power to introduce Greek science amongst the subjects of the Khalif, Arabs, and Persians. ...
- Chapters X and XI are historical and contain little in the way of how Greek knowledge was transmitted to the Arabs. ...
- One can ask this same question of the Arabs. ...
6. Arabs and Young Turks

- Arabs and Young Turks.
- Arabs and Young Turks provides a detailed study of Arab politics in the late Ottoman Empire as viewed from the imperial capital in Istanbul.

7. The Iraqi Government Assault on the Marsh Arabs
- www.iraqfoundation.org
- The Iraqi Government Assault on the Marsh Arabs.
- This Briefing Paper details the ongoing campaign by the Ba'athist government of Iraq against the Ma'dan or so-called Marsh Arabs-the mostly Shi'a Muslim population that inhabits the marshlands (al-ahwar) in southern Iraq around the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Numbering some 250,000 people as recently as 1991, the Marsh Arabs today are believed to number fewer than 40,000 in their ancestral homeland. ... The population and culture of the Marsh Arabs, who have resided continuously in the marshlands for more than 5,000 years, are being eradicated.
- Starting shortly after the end of the Gulf war in 1991, Marsh Arabs have been singled out for even more direct assault: mass arrests, enforced "disappearances," torture, and execution of political opponents have been accompanied by ecologically catastrophic drainage of the marshlands and the large-scale and systematic forcible transfer of part of the local population. ...
- The repression against the Marsh Arabs since 1988 has been motivated by a combination of factors. In addition to the fact that Marsh Arabs are Shi'a, Iraqi authorities have targeted them because the remote terrain of the marshlands provided refuge for political.
- opponents of the regime and because, in 1991, Marsh Arabs themselves took part in rebellion against the Baghdad government. ...
- Human Rights Watch believes that many of the acts of the Iraqi government's systematic repression of the Marsh Arabs constitute a crime against humanity. The crimes were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of the Marsh Arabs during the decade of the 1990s. ...
- Enforced disappearances of many of the Marsh Arabs arrested during the 1990s, whose fate and whereabouts remain unresolved to date; .
- Persecution of the Marsh Arabs through the intentional and severe deprivation of their fundamental rights on the basis of their religious and political identity as a group.
- Human Rights Watch calls on the government of Iraq to immediately release Marsh Arabs who remain in detention; to clarify the fate and whereabouts of those who "disappeared" following arrest; and to compensate the victims and the families of those who were arbitrarily held, tortured, "disappeared," or executed. The perpetrators of the crimes against the Marsh Arabs should be brought to justice.
- The Iraqi government's assault on the Marsh Arabs has occurred against the backdrop of its repression of the Shi'a Muslim population of the country as a whole. ...
- Unlike other Shi'a, Marsh Arabs were also subjected to a government-engineered environmental catastrophe. ...

- They leave behind, in the dust, 100 Arabs riding “pure Arabians. ...
- Hollywood desert race movies, such as “Sahara” and “The Black Stallion” films, also show Americans triumphing over those tentdwelling Arabs.
- We see cheating desert Arabs trying to buy the race, but they don’t have a chance—Hopkins shoots ‘em all dead. One of my favorite scenes shows dishonorable and disagreeable Arabs, who tar Hopkins an “impure animal” and an “infidel,” trying to castrate the American. ...
- Look, Paul, you accept and applaud Americans bringing down dastardly Arabs because of Hollywood’s mythology. Disney never shows Arabs as humane, decent folk, people like you and me.
- Besides, Disney has a history of advancing bigotry against Arabs. ...
- In “Hidalgo,” devious, dark Arabs kidnap Princess Jazira. ...
- “Hidalgo” replenishes this injurious stereotype, and others, as well: Arab versus Arab, Arab versus American, Arabs versus blacks. ...
- JS: Given the fact this film displays so many ugly and malicious Arabs, its popularity disturbs me. ...
- It remains acceptable for American movies to be anti-Semitic—as long as the Semites are Arabs. ...

- 1997: “GI Jane”—Demi Moore portrays a Navy SEAL and blows up nasty Arabs.
- PP: Are you trying to tell me that when it comes to vilifying Arabs, Disney knows exactly what it’s doing?.

- www.guardian.co.uk
- Another rule for the Arabs .
- Even now, though, there is still one notable exception: the Arabs. People happily write and say racist things about Arabs that they would not dream of saying about blacks or Jews - and usually they get away with it. ...
- The explanation lies partly in international politics but also in the negative stereotypes of Arabs that have become deeply imbued in western popular culture. This is nowhere more apparent than in Hollywood films where Arabs, unlike other racial groups, continue to be demonised on screen. ...
- A couple of years ago Jack Shaheen, a Lebanese-American professor, published Reel Bad Arabs, a massive study of some 900 films featuring Arab characters. With very few exceptions, he found that Arabs are portrayed as hate-figures in films to a degree that the studios would no longer dare with any other ethnic group. ...
- In the early days of Hollywood, Arabs were portrayed as over-sexed, exotic creatures living in the desert, riding camels, fighting among themselves and buying women at slave markets. ...
- By the 1970s - probably as a result of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and the oil embargo - Hollywood Arabs turned into oil sheikhs: rich, vengeful, corrupt, sneaky and invariably fat. ...
- The offending column was headed "We owe Arabs nothing" and it said: "Apart from oil - which was discovered, is produced and is paid for by the west - what do they contribute? Can you think of anything? Anything really useful? Anything really valuable? Something we really need, could not do without? No, nor can I. ...
- "That we adore them for the way they murdered more than 3,000 civilians on September 11 and then danced in the hot, dusty streets to celebrate the murders?" By any standards it was an appalling article, a sweeping denunciation of Arabs in general, without any qualification or exception, implying that all 200 million of them were "suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors". ...
- In future, as the Muslim Council of Britain points out, Arabs and Muslims are going to be reluctant to appear on his show, knowing the views that he expressed in his newspaper column. ...
- " The headline on the second version - "We owe Arabs nothing" - was far more likely to grab readers' attention. ...
- Throughout the "war on terror" and the war in Iraq, Tony Blair, and even George Bush at his most rabid, made clear in their speeches that they had no quarrel with Arabs or Muslims in general - unlike Mr Kilroy-Silk, apparently, since he included no such caveats in his column. ...
- If that was really the intention, it does not explain why he wrote instead about ordinary Arabs dancing in the streets to celebrate September 11, chanting support for Saddam Hussein or "living happily in this country on social security". ...
- It is no good having one rule for blacks, Jews and the Irish, and another rule - or none at all - for the Arabs. ...
