Ambiguous description of remarks from Susan Sarandon[edit]

Currently the article's mention of Susan's remarks may deliver a different message than intended: "and reflected that due to the rising antisemitism many Jewish people 'are getting a taste of being Muslim in the United States'."

It would be more beneficial to have the full quote from her: “There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence,”

The intended message in her remarks is likely meant to equate anti-semitism to islamophobia, however the original cut of the quote can be misconstrued as her suggesting that Jewish people are deserving of the hate, if true it would require more evidence to support that.

10 March today, and the quote is now even shorter and more pointedly bullshit. Thanks, Israpedia! 184.147.148.233 (talk) 16:33, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interrelated bigotry[edit]

@Nableezy: Re: this, the page notes that there has been a spike in Anti-Palestinianism, Anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia. In the context, these all seem heavily related, as Anti-Palestinianism is most commonly something of a fusion of Anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia. In this specific incident, yes, the vendor was Egyptian, but from the references to Palestinian children, that a pretty strong indication that it's the part of the same phenomena of rising hate.

Seems like pretty standard bigotry to me but regardless the source needs to call it anti Palestinianism. Can go on the hate crimes page I guess since he’s been charged with a hate crime. nableezy - 11:41, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Nableezy: I now realize that the hate crime page was re-scoped in such a way that non-violent hate crime now actually fits awkwardly under the title. Law of unintended consequences ... Iskandar323 (talk) 11:53, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Mohammad Barakat most likely not related to his statements on Gaza[edit]

The article says "On 23 December, legal and human rights activists reported a 21-year-old student in Hamburg was killed in relation to his activism both online and offline.". There was no evidence at any point that there is a relationship between his activism and his death. Hamburg police refuted any claims of a relation and called these "fake news". Therefore, this sentence should be removed or the statement of the Hamburg police should be added. TheodorHerzl (talk) 08:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article scope[edit]

This article seems to include some statements and other content that is either political (and not ethnic/national) in nature or was not clearly referred to as anti-Palestinian, such as the incident regarding Masha Gessen. FortunateSons (talk) 23:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Barred entry to Palestinian doctor and researcher, shut down of Palestine Congress in Berlin[edit]

suggest integrating the following istances:

On 4 May 2024, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta, a well-known British-Palestinian surgeon who volunteered in Gaza hospitals during the early stages of the Israel-Hamas conflict, was denied entry to Germany. The ban on Abu Sitta was supposed to last until Sunday 12th April, coinciding with the duration of the Berlin conference titled the Palestine Congress. The conference aimed to address various issues, including German arms exports to Israel and showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause. Dr. Abu Sitta later explained that, upon his arrival at Berlin airport, he was held at passport control for several hours and then instructed to return to the UK. Reportedly, airport authorities cited concerns about the safety of attendees and public order as reasons for denying him entry.

The conference itself was later abruptly ended by the Berlin police after discovering that another individual, Palestinian researcher Salman Abu Sitta (Dr. Abu Sitta’s uncle), which had also been banned from appearing at the conference, was featured in a livestream. Among the planned speakers scheduled to appear at the conference, who were bar from entering the country by German authorities, was also Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, a long-standing vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause.

Later in May, Dr. Abu Sitta was also prevented to enter France, reportedly as enactment of the same Schengen-wide banned imposed by German authorities the month prior: “I am at Charles De Gaulle airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today,” he posted on the social media platform X on Saturday 4th May. Dr. Abu Sitta's legal team (made up of lawyer Alexander Gorski of the International Centre of Justice for Palestine and the European Legal Support Centre ) eventually challenged the ban in court and prevailed, arguing that the ban had deprived the surgeon of his freedom of expression and freedom to travel. 213.32.254.179 (talk) 10:09, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
