Extended-protected article
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Following the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the outbreak of the Israel–Hamas war, there has been a surge of anti-Palestinianism, anti-Arab racism, and Islamophobia. Palestinians have expressed concerns over increased anti-Palestinianism in mass media and anti-Palestinian hate crimes.[1][2] Human rights groups have noted an increase in anti-Palestinian hate speech and incitement to violence against Palestinians.[3]

Bahrain

In October 2023, a doctor of Indian descent in Bahrain was fired from the Royal Bahrain Hospital for anti-Palestinian tweets that were deemed "offensive to our society" by the hospital.[4]

India

A large amount of anti-Palestinian, Islamophobic, pro-Israeli propaganda and disinformation has emerged from India during the war, especially among the Hindu nationalists. Anti-Palestinian disinformation from India often comes from supporters of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[5][6]

Europe

Belgium

On 11 December, The Brussels Times reported the Belgium's Foreigners' Office had instructed municipalities to strip the citizenship of Belgian children with Palestinian parents, though a spokesperson for the Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration denied this action was related to the ongoing war.[7]

France

The interior minister of France ordered local authorities to ban all pro-Palestinian protests.[8] French journalist Alain Gresh has said that Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party has a "very strong anti-Palestinian position".[9]

On 14 October, French-Algerian journalist Taha Bouhafs [fr] was arrested while covering a pro-Palestine protest in Paris. He told +972 Magazine that people were getting "strangled by the police", and that the police fined him for participating in an "illegal demonstration" despite showing his press card. He also claimed that the police threatened to break his legs if they saw him again at a protest.[10]

Germany banned the display of a number of Palestinian symbols such as the Palestinian flag and the keffiyeh, including at schools.[11][12] Palestinians in Germany described facing repression from authorities when they attempted to protest in support of Palestine, being subject to crackdowns, arrests and possible racial profiling.[13][14] On 18 October, a video of German police stomping out a candlelight vigil for dead Palestinians was seen circulating on social media.[15] Pro-Palestinian protesters in Neukölln were faced with displays of excessive force, including the use of pepper spray and water cannons. Hanno Hauenstein of The Nation described "a climate of fear" in the country created by the Israel–Hamas war, exacerbated by "hard-line" actions from the government.[16] One Palestinian human rights advocate called Germany's response to these protests as "McCarthyism in the purest sense",[15] and a protester told Al Jazeera English that she was unsure "whether we actually have freedom of speech in Germany [regarding Palestine]".[17]

In response to these restrictions, human rights organizations urged authorities to ensure and enable the right of all individuals to express their opinions and peacefully assemble.[18][19] Germany also faced criticism from Muslim countries such as Indonesia, who argued that they were preventing peaceful protesters from publicly showing support for Palestinians.[20]

On 13 October 2023, LitProm abruptly cancelled a LiBeraturpreis for Palestinian author Adania Shibli for her book Minor Detail, a novel partly based on the true story of a rape and murder of a Palestinian girl in 1949 by Israeli soldiers; it was originally set to be given at the Frankfurt Book Fair on 20 October.[21][22] Following this, more than 1,000 authors and publishers – including Colm Tóibín, Hisham Matar, Kamila Shamsie and William Dalrymple, as well as Nobel prize winners Abdulrazak Gurnah, Annie Ernaux and Olga Tokarczuk – signed an open letter criticizing this decision, saying that the Book Fair had “a responsibility to be creating spaces for Palestinian writers to share their thoughts, feelings, reflections on literature through these terrible, cruel times, not shutting them down”.[23][24]

On 13 November 2023, an Afrofuturism exhibition by curator Anaïs Duplan was suspended by Museum Folkwang after they expressed support for Palestine and "personally tak[ing] sides with the BDS campaign" on Instagram.[25][26] The next day, Indian poet Ranjit Hoskote resigned from his position at the curator-finding committee of Documenta, after the exhibition publicly criticized him for signing a BDS India letter in 2019, calling it "explicitly anti-Semitic".[27] The letter in question had denounced a "Zionism and Hindutva" event hosted by the Israeli consulate in Mumbai [he] and co-organized by the Indo-Israel Friendship Association; the letter also called Israel an "apartheid state" engaging in "settler colonialism".[28] Over the following two days, the entire committee resigned, citing the social climate created by the Israel–Hamas war in an open letter, and Documenta's "unchallenged media and public discrediting" of Hoskote in particular.[29][30]

Masha Gessen (a Jewish, Russian-American journalist who lost family members in the Holocaust)[31] wrote an essay on 9 December 2023, arguing that Germany's remembrance culture regarding the Holocaust was being used as a "cynically wielded political instrument" by the AfD to target Muslim immigrants. Gessen condemned the atrocities committed by Hamas on 7 October, but was also critical of the Israeli bombings of the Gaza Strip, which they considered to be highly destructive and comparable to an Eastern European ghetto "being liquidated" by the Nazis.[32] Following this, the Heinrich Böll Foundation announced that they were withdrawing their support for Gessen winning the Hannah Arendt Prize, rejecting the comparison of Gaza to a Jewish ghetto as "unacceptable".[33][34]

In March 2024, amid the Israel–Gaza war, Germany's Social Democratic Party and Christian Democratic Union Party issued a directive for the distribution of leaflets in high schools in Neukölln that dismissed the historical realities of the Nakba as "myth".[35]

On 10 April 2024, a job offer to Nancy Fraser, a Jewish American philosopher, to give lectures at the University of Cologne was rescinded after it was discovered that she had signed the letter "Philosophy for Palestine".[36] Fraser called the decision to disinvite her "philosemitic McCarthyism".[37]

A Palestine Congress conference, scheduled on the weekend of 13-14 April of 2024 at Berlín and organized by various Palestinian support groups along with the Germany Branch of European Jews for a Just Peace was prohibited. Ghassan Abu Sittah, a British-Palestinian surgeon and Yanis Varoufakis, former finance minister of Greece, were denied their entry to Germany to speak at the conference.[38]

On 23 August 2024, in his report "Global threats to freedom of expression arising from the conflict in Gaza" (A/79/319), the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression expressed concerns over scope and gravity against protests in Germany:

In Germany, the response was among the toughest, imposing a blanket ban on all demonstrations in support of Palestinian people from 7 to 21 October 2023, and pre-emptively banning several such gatherings.[39]

United Kingdom

Since the war, Islamophobic hate crimes increased by 140% in London.[40] According to British journalists Peter Oborne and Imran Mulla, "Britain has experienced an epidemic of almost unchallenged anti-Palestinian racism and anti-Muslim bigotry" since the war began. Oborne and Mulla have accused Home Secretary Suella Braverman for being "inexcusably silent" on anti-Palestinianism and Islamophobia.[41] Braverman stated on 11 October that waving Palestinian flags in public "may not be legitimate".[42] She also described an Armistice Day 2023 protest against the war in Gaza, which was attended by 800,000 people in London, as a "hate march" and accused the Metropolitan Police of having a pro-Palestinian bias.[43][44] According to a YouGov poll, British support for the London marches stands at 33%, while those who oppose the marches account for 43%. The reverse is true of Londoners, where 45% support the marches and 36% do not.[45]

In Manchester, the arts venue HOME cancelled an event called Voices of Resilience: A Celebration of Gazan Writing, citing security concerns after the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester (JRGCM) wrote to the venue complaining that Palestinian Authority culture minister and participating author Atef Abu Saif was antisemitic and objecting to the event's use of the word "genocide". Abu Saif and publisher Comma Press, which had organized the event, denied the allegations and said they were libelous. A letter signed by 300 artists and arts professionals, including Phil Collins and Maxine Peake, wrote to HOME to request it allow the event to continue and "repair its commitment to anti-racism, including anti-Palestinian racism".[46][47] After nearly 100 artists withdrew their work from HOME's exhibition space and a protest outside the venue, it reinstated the event.[48]

In July 2024, over 750 artists signed an open letter by Artists for Palestine UK, after the Royal Academy of Arts removed a photograph of a Jewish protestor holding a placard in support of Palestine. The open letter said the Royal Academy had engaged in censorship which "colluded with the erasure of [the] Jewish contribution to solidarity with Palestinians". The Jewish Socialists' Group, which signed the letter, said the Royal Academy gave "support to a racist, anti-Palestinian campaign".[49] In October 2024, over 270 artists signed an open letter by Artists for Palestine alleging the Royal Exchange Theatre had censored pro-Palestinian and pro-trans sentiments when it cancelled Stef O'Driscoll's production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.[50][51][52]

Israel

Palestinian students attending the Netanya Academic College in central Israel were trapped in their dorms after a large Israeli crowd gathered in front of the building chanting "death to Arabs" and attempted to break into the building. The crowd accused them of disrupting an earlier Shabbat prayer service at a Chabad synagogue by playing loud Arabic music and hurling two eggs. The allegations had been reviewed and investigated by police who had ruled out the students involvement.[53] Additional Palestinian students are reportedly facing suspensions after receiving emails accusing them of "supporting terrorism" due to posts condemning the continued attacks of the Israeli military on Gazan citizens.[54]

Since the outbreak of the war in early October, reportedly thousands of Palestinians have been arrested and detained in Israel and the occupied West Bank.[55] Many of those imprisoned alleged that they were tortured or otherwise mistreated while detained in military prison facilities, while the International Committee of the Red Cross stated they were repeatedly denied access to arrestees, who Israeli officials had classified as "enemy non-combatants". On November 3, Israel reportedly deported 3,200 Palestinian workers into the Gaza Strip, with the UN Human Rights Office expressing their concern over the status of the deportees and indicated they were being sent into an incredible dangerous situation.[56]

A video posted of young Israeli children drew outrage online after being posted on 19 November 2023, by the Israeli state broadcaster Kan News aired it under the title We'll annihilate everyone in Gaza. The video has since been deleted, but showed the children singing an old song written by Israeli poet Haim Gouri after the 1948 war, that had been amended to reference Gaza. While some debate has been raised about the translation of some of the words, some of the Google translated lyrics have been posted as, In another year there will be nothing left, And we will return safely to our home within a year, We will eliminate them all, And then return to plowing our Fields.[57][58]

"Harbu Darbu" (Hebrew: חרבו דרבו) was released by musical duo Ness & Stilla [he] on 14 November 2023. Ness (Nessya Levi [he]) and Stilla (Dor Soroker [he]) stated that they wrote the song to raise the Israeli people's morale, deciding it was "time to replace the sadness with anger".[59] "The song celebrates soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and criticizes celebrities who voice anti-Israel sentiments. It also calls for revenge on everyone who planned, executed, and supported the Hamas-led attack in Israel. The rappers repeatedly use the phrase "every dog's day will come" in Arabic.[60] This is directed at Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, along with Western celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and others who have expressed support for Palestinian people and criticized Israel.[61][62]

There have been ongoing protests in Israel against humanitarian aid being allowed to enter the Gaza Strip which continued after the decision in the South Africa v Israel International court case which indicated humanitarian aid should be allowed in. The protests began in December 2023 when activists attempted to block the Kerem Shalom crossing to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip.[63] The protests have continued with National Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Netanyahu to cease sending aid to Gaza in the end of January 2023[64] and in February 2024, Channel 12 reported that 132 aid trucks had been prevented from entering the Karem Abu Salem crossing.[65]

Between February and March 2024, mainstream Israeli television networks Channels 14 and 13 aired videos, reportedly described as "snuff films" which show detained Palestinian prisoners being mistreated inside Israeli prisons. The videos are described as the actual interrogation sessions of prisoners, who are shown in the films were bound and blindfolded, while being made to kneel on the floor. A warden is recorded stating "They have no mattresses...They have nothing…we control them 100% — their food, their shackling, their sleep…[we] show them we are the masters of the house" Footage documented at least one area in where prisoners sleep with one room only having bare metal bunkbeds and a hole in the floor for a toilet.[66]

During a meeting of the political-security cabinet in June 2024 during a discussion about the repatriation of the bodies of suspected and known Hamas militants from Israel, far-right Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that the Israeli government should "place the bodies in a cart and drag them through the city center like they would do in the Bible so that they would see and be seen."[67]

While speaking on Israeli Channel 12 news in June 2024, former far-right Israeli MK Moshe Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler while speaking on the ongoing war. Feiglin stated that Israeli's "can't live in this land if one Islamo-Nazi remains in Gaza" and continued stating that Jews were "not guests in our own land, it is entirely ours" and that he wanted to "turn Gaza Hebrew". Feiglin has had a history of similar comments stating in 2019 that international law should not be applied to the situation as there is no Palestinian nation.[68] In October 2024, Haaretz detailed how Israeli policies regarding Palestinians were supported by logics of anti-Palestinian racism.[69]

Occupied Territories

Israeli settler violence in the West Bank escalated during the war.[70][71] Shortly after the 7 October attacks, three Palestinian men in the central West Bank alleged that IDF soldiers and settlers had beaten, stripped, tied up and photographed for multiple hours, with one raising allegations that at least one individual sexually assaulted him.[72] The United Nations have recorded 222 settler attacks in the West Bank against Palestinians since the 7 October Hamas attacks. At least six Palestinian communities have been fully abandoned due to the violence according to the West Bank Protection Consortium, which was founded by the European Union, and eight people have been killed and sixty-four injured. Settlers have also purposefully burned down ancestral olive trees, covered agricultural land with cement, attacked harvesters and built rock barriers to prevent people from returning to villages and fired upon them with live ammunition if they tried.[73]

On 26 October 2023, a memorial in Jenin for Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist who was killed by an Israeli soldier in 2022, was bulldozed and destroyed by Israel Defense Forces.[74][75] On 14 November, two monuments of PLO leader Yasser Arafat were demolished by the IDF in the West Bank's Tulkarem refugee camp.[76]

In early November 2023, widely circulated video footage showed Palestinian detainees in reportedly the occupied West Bank being abused by IDF soldiers. Many of the detainees filmed are shown naked or shirtless with their hands tied behind their backs. At least one detainee is filmed being kicked in the stomach by troops and then spit on, while another is shown having his head stomped on by an IDF troop while laid on his back. In another case, a reported IDF member is recorded telling an detainee in Hebrew and Arabic "Good morning, whore. Good morning, whore. Spit on you, sheep fucker" before he spits on the detainee. The IDF later acknowledged some of the footage and that it was aware of some of the cases, with on going review by commanders.[77][78]

Widely circulated video and images at around 7 December 2023, showed dozens of Palestinian men in Northern Gaza blindfolded, stripped partially naked, and kneeling on the ground, guarded by Israeli soldiers.[79][80][81][82] Without a stated source, Israeli media reported that the images and footage showed a mass surrender of fighters.[83] However, CNN reported that at least some of the men are civilians with no known affiliation with any armed group,[80] with IDF spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, appearing to confirm this by stating: "We arrest everyone" for interrogation.[82] By 8 December Al Jazeera reported that some of the men shown had been released.[84]

In mid-December 2023, multiple videos circulated online of IDF soldiers utilizing microphones and sound systems in mosques in Jenin in the occupied West Bank and in Gaza to sing traditional Jewish songs; some associated with Hanukkah that was ongoing at the time, mocking the call to prayer and reciting Jewish prayers.[85] The IDF condemned the recorded actions, stating it was against the codes of conduct for the IDF and that any identified soldier seen were reportedly immediately removed from duty. Other videos have shown IDF troops since the start of the conflict, purposefully destroying businesses while laughing, setting goods on fire while still in a vehicle, and going through private Gazan citizens' belongings. These videos and actions were condemned by IDF officials as well.[86]

On 15 January 2024, a group of 25 Palestinian students staged a sit-in protest against rising tuition fees at An-Najah University, leading to Israeli police to arrest them and call them "student terrorist squads".[87]

A Montreal author Lauren Wise was recorded during a road rage incident on 10 October, screaming at another driver who had a Palestinian flag displayed on her car window. Wise reportedly rammed her vehicle into the other car, which was being driven by a Tunisian woman and screamed at her that she "should be raped and dragged in the street in front of her kids" due to displaying the flag. Wise was reportedly dropped by her publisher after the video, that she had taunted the recorder to publish and tag her in, was posted to social media.[88]

On 3 March 2024, a man was arrested in Vaughan on several charges including possession of weapons dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon and assault. He was identified as 27-year-old, Ilan-Reuben Abramov, and had stopped his car in front of protestors and began to shout at them, while carrying a nail gun that he reportedly discharged at protestors. In a viral video, Abramov is recorded stating "Every fucking Palestinian will die" before knocking the cell phone recording him from the hands of the protestor.[89]

The boy's mother was also choked and stabbed. The attacker, the family's landlord, allegedly shouted "You Muslims must die" during the attack. The incident is being regarded by Illinois authorities as an anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic hate crime.[93] That same day, a Jewish-American man in Farmington Hills, Michigan was arrested and charged with making a threat of terrorism after he posted on social media that he wanted to "go to Dearborn & hunt Palestinians".[94] Dearborn is a city with large Arab and Muslim populations, and is where significant pro-Palestine protests were held in October 2023.[95]

During a discussion in early November about a proposed cease-fire resolution in the Florida state house, Democratic state representative Angie Nixon asked, "We are at 10,000 dead Palestinians. How many will be enough?" In response, Republican Michelle Salzman responded "All of them".

It was enough. It wasn’t enough!" Seldowitz worked in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs and then served as Acting Director of the National Security Council South Asia Directorate during the Obama administration. He was also the Foreign Affairs Chair at Gotham Government Relations, which ended all affiliation with him after the video emerged. The NYPD said it was aware of the videos and monitoring the situation.[101] Seldowitz was taken into custody on 22 November, he faces one count of aggravated harassment of race or religion and four counts of stalking as a hate crime.[102]
