A video circulating on social media highlights the discrimination of Arabs against blacks in Gaza.
“There is a neighborhood in Gaza where 11,000 Afro-Palestinians live. It is called ‘Al Abeed.’ You know what that means? ‘Slave.’ Yes – that is where black people live, and that is what the Arabs call that neighborhood.”
“While the Arabs and Muslims are being ‘oppressed,’ they still had time to oppress black people there.”
11,000 black Palestinians were forced to live in a ghetto in Gaza called ‘al abeed’, which means ‘slaves’ in Arabic.
Yet, Palestinians tell black Americans that they should unconditionally support a “Free Palestine.” pic.twitter.com/xnpnPECDnQ
