A Palestinian woman runs a brewery and beer festival in the town of Taybeh in the West Bank (youtu.be)

The Palestinian brewery is now run by a woman, Madis Khoury, which adds an extra layer of complexity. “Being in a male-dominated country, an Arab country, and under occupation, it’s four or five times harder than anywhere else,” she says.

Unless it is pro-Palestinian speech of course

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter (www.theguardian.com)

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

Imagine thinking all Palestinians are hardened Islamists. Prejudice and ignorance much?

Saudi Arabia has a higher legal marriage age (18) than many Western states. And that’s one thing of many that it does right for women.

Edit: it looks like most European states also have it at 18. It is only the some states in the USA that are doing it wrong.

Israel is a pariah state the region has been cursed with

The UN had no right to divide Palestine and give the Zionist invaders any part of it.

They are a long way from done. Likud has its roots in Revisionist Zionism, and Israeli society and politics has shifted even further right.

still a higher standard than many modern Western states such as Israel, or a modern democracy such as India, if the Chinese were xenophobic they could have demolished the mosque at any point in history, they didn’t

dynasties and ideologies came and went in China and the mosques still stand

what happened to mosques in Spain? what is happening to mosques in Occupied Palestine and India right now?

Islam is xeno (foreign) to China and yet you have mosques from the 7th and 8th centuries still standing

otherwise you’re treated like the Uighurs.

here’s an interesting fact, they are the only Turkic people who still use their centuries old script, and haven’t been secularized and westernized unlike Turks in the former USSR or Turkiye.

The issue for the Uyghurs is separatism, not Islam or culture in particular. No nation will tolerate separatists. dkiapcss.edu/…/uyghur-muslim-ethnic-separatism-in…cfr.org/…/east-turkestan-islamic-movement-etim

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation report on the Uyghur did not find anything concerning, though the OIC has been criticized by Western rights groups. Interestingly, when it comes to Palestine the situation is reversed, where the OIC is speaking up but Western rights groups have been mostly silent. It is confusing seeing Anthony Blinken criticize China for the alleged genocide of Uyghurs, I haven’t seen any images or videos that suggest it is real, but unabashedly defend Israel’s actions which are clear and evident genocide.

Did you put effort into learning Japanese? I didn’t experience any exclusion.

True. But I did mention that they were also friendly. I had no issue getting into all sorts of activities with them. From playing the Shamisen to practicing Sadō. I had lots of friends who would help me out in all sorts of things, such as the University entrance exam, moving stuff, and translation.

I’m speaking of my experiences of course. I come from a different cultural background (Arab). I lived in both the US and Japan, and in almost all aspects except employment and income, I prefer Japan. Your mileage may vary.

Have you lived there? Not my experience. I felt like I was welcomed. I was welcomed into their cultural activities, I was welcomed into their homes. I did put effort into learning the language and the culture, and followed their norms to the best I can.
