https://www.theguardian.com/news/article/2024/may/23/islamophobia-us-palestine-history | Decades of spying and repression: the anti-Palestinian origins of American Islamophobia |

[...] "In US history, anti-Palestinian bigotry, expressed primarily through repressive practices of the US government, almost always came first." |

[...] "This anti-Palestinianism then manifested into a generalized anti-Arab racism, which only later – especially after 9/11 – morphed into the more widespread Islamophobia that we recognize today."

Hollywood did its part, too, as it so often does. I grew up watching movies where Asian (usually Vietnamese) people were the bad guys, and then when that no longer mattered to the empire it became about Arabs. Arabs were almost always portrayed as stupid, greedy, untrustworthy, inhuman, and evil. And even as a kid I understood, on some level, that this was about Israel.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/15/apple-union-workers-strike-vote-bargaining-delay | Apple store workers vote to authorize first strike over bargaining delays |

"Workers at the first Apple store in the US to have unionized, in Towson, Maryland, have voted to authorize a strike as progress in bargaining for a first contract has stagnated.

They could be the first Apple retail store workers to ever go on strike." |
