2012] THE MIDDLE EAST’S REAL APARTHEID 197 precludes Jews from becoming Jordanian citizens; Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly expressed his commitment to a Judenrein Palestine. Likewise, Africans of sub-Saharan descent are held in deep contempt, a vestige of the region’s historic role as epicenter of the international slave trade. Gender discrimination: Legal and social discrimination against women is pervasive throughout the Arab-Islamic world, accounting for rampant violence (for example, domestic violence or spousal rape are not criminalized) and scores of executions every year, both legal and extra-judicial (i.e., honor killings). Discrimination against homosexuals is even worse. Denial of citizenship: The withholding of citizenship and attendant rights from a large segment of the native-born population is common. Palestinian communities in the Arab states offer the starkest example of this discrimination (in Lebanon, for example, they cannot own property, be employed in many professions, or move freely). The Bidun (stateless peoples) in the Gulf states, and hundreds of thousands of Kurds in Syria, have been subjected to similar discrimination. Labor inequality: Mistreatment of foreign workers (especially household servants), ranging from sexual abuse to virtual imprisonment and outright murder, is widely tolerated throughout the Middle East, especially in oilexporting countries that host large expatriate labor forces. Slavery: The Arabic-speaking countries remain the world’s foremost refuge of slavery, from child and sex trafficking in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states to actual chattel slavery in Sudan and Mauritania. Indeed, Islamists throughout the Middle East have had no qualms advocating the legalization of slavery. Political oppression: Many Middle Eastern regimes are little more than elaborate repressive systems aimed at perpetuating apartheid-style domination by a small minority: Alawites in Syria; Tikritis in Saddam’s Iraq; the Saudi royal family; the Hashemite dynasty in Jordan. Possibly the world’s most arresting anachronism, these endemic abuses have until now escaped scrutiny and condemnation. Western governments have been loath to antagonize their local authoritarian allies, while the educated classes have absolved Middle Easterners of responsibility for their actions in the patronizing tradition of the “white man’s burden,” dismissing regional players as half-witted creatures, too dim to be accountable for their own fate.
198 JOURNAL FOR THE STUDY OF ANTISEMITISM [ VOL. 4:195 It is time to denounce these discriminatory practices and force Arab/ Muslim regimes to abide by universally accepted principles of decency and accountability. This will not only expose the hollowness of the Israel delegitimization campaign, but will also help promote regional peace and stability. History has shown that gross and systemic discrimination is a threat not just to the oppressed minorities, but also to the political health of the societies that oppress them. Only when Arab and Muslim societies treat the “other” as equal will the Middle East, and the rest of the Islamic world, be able to transcend its malaise and look forward to a real political and social spring. *Efraim Karsh is a research professor at King’s College London, director of the Middle East Forum, the editor of both Israeli Affairs and Middle East Quarterly, and the author of Palestine Betrayed (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2011).
