Omar Barghouti – on “White People”
The Use of the terms white race on behalf of Barghouthi is because BDS has a racist agenda. This agenda is expressed in describing the Arab/ Israeli struggle as a Jewish/ non Jewish struggle between Jews and non Jews . THis has for goal to shift the struggle from its real identity towards an assumed religious identity in conformity with the original scheme of the colonizers. According to this new identity Muslims and Arabs are supposed to act as a race or a religion facing another one , on par with their racist enemy . Thus , thanks to the racial nature of the struggle, Israel can acquire the legal status of an Apartheid state that will require anti racist policies , and Arabs can remain confined within a certain religion and lose the human, national and universal dimension of their cause and become alienated from it . The one that benefits from this whole set up is Israel of course . Arabs and Palestinians are at their disadvantage in the racial conlict where they have been drawn and to which they have no clue . This racial attitude displayed by BDS is accompanied by another sectarian attitude that promotes a certain religious sect at the expense of another . What happened with George Galloway was a set up – as he describes it himself – and just the beginning , BDS will slowly reveal more of its racist sectarian designs in the future .
