#Syria is imposing new entry fees on travelers from #Arab countries, with 12 countries’ nationals having to pay between 40 and 250 dollars upon entry

In feite komen Joodse en Arabische namen voort uit de mix van “ideologie en cultuur + religie + politiek” en niet uit raciale genen. Als er genetische tests worden uitgevoerd, hebben veel Arabieren en Joden ook gemeenschappelijke genetische componenten. De orthodox-joodse opvattingen zijn niet verkeerd en hebben voet aan de grond in religie en wetenschap. Arabieren en joden hebben in Palestina altijd samengewoond. #joden #Arab

#Saudi_Arabia moves to rein in #UAE after Yemen exposes rivalry Saudi Arabia is moving to end the role of the United Arab Emirates in #Yemen and diminish its neighbor’s influence in other arenas, including the Red Sea, as tensions rise in the longstanding rivalry between the two Gulf powerhouses. After ordering the UAE to withdraw troops from Yemen and bombing a shipment of weapons it said Abu Dhabi was delivering to secessionists, #Riyadh is now looking to bring all UAE-backed factions in the deeply divided country under its control, according to two people briefed on the situation. The two OPEC+ members have jockeyed for influence in the war-torn, strategically located nation for years. The fallout between the #Arab world’s two biggest economies — and key American allies — will have repercussions far beyond Yemen. It could impact efforts to contain Iran and ensure the Gaza ...... https://web.facebook.com/AddisstandardEng/posts/pfbid02znoqYaEtyk1HsgV2jV9vdRBHHaCpT4SHqC4TrcpopGsqj4KupLe7ZnQRghdcsYvLl

Various Artists — Ya Hasra: Jewish-Tunisian Jewels, Originals & Reworks (Akuphone, 2024) #traditional#arab#jew#qanun#electronic#Tunisia После Второй мировой войны в Тунисе проживало около 90 тысяч евреев, но уже в 1950-х годах началась массовая алия в Израиль. Независимость Туниса в 1956 году и последовавшая политика арабизации ухудшили положение евреев: их дискриминировали, лишали имущества, а в 1967 году произошли погромы. В 1970-е годы еврейское население сократилось до 7 тысяч человек, а к 1990-м — до 1600. В 2002 году атака «Аль-Каиды» на синагогу Ал-Хариба унесла жизни 14 человек. Сегодня еврейская община Туниса насчитывает около тысячи человек, преимущественно на острове Джерба. Несмотря на сокращение численности и вынужденную миграцию, евреи Туниса оставили значительный след в культуре страны — в том числе в её музыкальном наследии. Альбом Ya Hasra фиксирует это присутствие — через архивные записи и новые прочтения. На первой стороне пластинки представлены записи четырёх артистов — Хабибы Мсики, Луизы Тунсии, Рауля Журно и Эля Кахлауи Тунси. На протяжении XX века, включая годы масштабной миграции, их музыка продолжала звучать на обоих берегах Средиземного моря. На второй стороне представлены авторские интерпретации диджея и продюссера Шаруха, в которых он экспериментирует с ритмической структурой и звуком оригинальных композиций. 🔗Spotify | AppleMusic | Bandcamp

#Commentary: National Interests vs Political Pretense: Deconstructing regional opposition to #Somaliland’s recognition In late 2025, #Israel recognized Somaliland, a self-declared independent region in northern #Somalia, prompting condemnation from 21 #Arab, Islamic, and #African states, which called it a “grave violation of international law and the #UN Charter.” However, Gulaid Yusuf Idaan argues that opposition is driven by “narrow national interests, deep-seated geopolitical anxieties, and defensive reactions to the potential restructuring of the existing regional order.” He contends that Somaliland has been reduced to a “bureaucratic abstraction, a file that needs to be handled but not a cause that needs to be comprehended.” Idaan emphasizes that Somaliland faces resistance due to its success as “a small political entity that has achieved relative stability, participatory governance, and institutional functionality.” https://addisstandard.com/?p=54574

News: #Egypt-based military drones have targeted #Sudan’s RSF for months, report says A covert military airstrip in Egypt’s Western Desert has emerged as a key launch site for drone strikes inside Sudan, signaling Egypt’s direct entry into Sudan’s devastating civil war, according to an extensive investigation by The New York Times. The report, based on satellite imagery, flight records, video analysis, and interviews with #American, #European, and #Arab officials, found that advanced military drones operating from Egypt have been conducting strikes against Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) for at least 6 months. The airstrip, located near the East Oweinat agricultural project close to the Sudanese border, is hidden amid vast wheat fields irrigated by fossil aquifers. While the base appears civilian on the surface, satellite images reviewed by the newspaper show the construction of a second runway, at least 17 aircraft hangars, satellite communications....

Anniversary of US crimes in Iraq🗽 In March 2003, the United States and Great #Britain invaded Iraq without obtaining authorization from the United Nations and despite widespread international opposition.🇬🇧🇺🇸 Mr. Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations, announced in 2003 that the war led by the #United_States against Iraq was illegal and that this attack was not approved by the Security Council of the United Nations or in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations! This war caused about 1 million dead and wounded and 2 million displaced people! In the picture, we see an #Arab man who is beaten in front of his child when he opens the door of his house. Arabs and Turks still have political connections with the United States. #Turkey, #Syria and #Iraq are good hosts for US terrorist bases in the West Asian region. https://t.me/YediotNewsChat

🔴Arab and foreign terrorists, including an Egyptian national, took part in the brutal attack on Kurds in Aleppo #Aleppo: Egyptian terrorist Ahmed Mansour appeared in a video showing the throwing of the body of a #Kurdish female fighter.

#Egypt and #Saudi Arabia focus on Eritrea as UAE bolsters ties to #Ethiopia The insular but strategically positioned Red Sea country of #Eritrea is coming under the radar of Arab capitals as a potential linchpin in Saudi Arabia and the #UAE’s #Red_Sea rivalry. Two #Arab officials familiar with recent diplomacy told Middle East Eye that Egypt is trying to broker deeper security links between Eritrea and Saudi Arabia, with an eye towards checking the UAE’s influence as it increases military ties to Ethiopia. The Arab officials told MEE that the developments are inspired by a defence deal struck between Sudan’s military and Pakistan in January. That agreement is widely understood to be financed by Saudi Arabia, although the weapons systems have yet to materialise. MEE reported that #Pakistani chief of air staff Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, and Lieutenant General Turki bin Bander bin.... https://web.facebook.com/AddisstandardEng/posts/pfbid02zpu8MMtSXM8MeCVGRLWPNpAWbabCsokhKYFxeBiW2qSvHRyTPxKmSfRmPUPbRXTsl

Olivier Daviaud — Le Chat Du Rabbin (Naive, 2011) #klezmer#balkan#jew#arab#Algeria#France#Netherlands#Ukraine Саундтрек к французскому анимационному фильм «Кот раввина» по мотивам комиксов Жоанна Сфара. Действие мультфильма происходит в Алжире, в 1920-е годы. Здесь бок о бок живут мусульмане, евреи и христиане. У раввина есть дочь по имени Злабия, попугай и кот — именно от его лица ведётся рассказ. В какой-то момент кот съедает попугая и начинает говорить, после чего история превращается в затянувшийся спор обо всём на свете: о Боге, о кашруте, о собаках и о месте евреев в колониальной Северной Африке. Вскоре кот просит провести ему бар-мицву. Раввин советуется с коллегой, и вместе они решают, что кот не может быть евреем. Параллельно из России приходит посылка с книгами. Внутри — живой человек, еврей-беженец, скрывающийся от советских погромов. Он художник и собирается отправиться в Иерусалим через Эфиопию, которую считает родиной «чёрных евреев». Фильм постепенно становится похож на дадаистское роуд-муви — с пустыней, караванами, мифами и разговорами на десятке языков. Музыку к фильму написал Оливье Даво. Главные темы исполняетAmsterdam Klezmer Band — голландский ансамбль, сочетающий клезмер, балканские ритмы и фанковую подачу. Один из вокалистов, Алек Копыт, родом из Одессы — он поёт на русском, идише и румынском. Из-за этого саундтрек ощущается не как «подкладка под картинку», а как самостоятельный слой — с разными языками, акцентами и ритмами. Музыка не иллюстрирует происходящее, а движется рядом с персонажами — как будто бродит с ними по улицам Алжира, а потом пересекает и пустыню. 🔗Spotify | AppleMusic | YouTube
