“…Palestine is a country without a people; the Jews are a people without a country. 22 Both describing (and later depicting in film and television) Native Americans as lesser, uncivilized "savages" was a fundamental basis for the attempted (but impossible) rationale of their massacre, displacement and destruction.…”

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.-Nelson Mandela 3 ARAB STUDIES QUARTERLY www.plutojournals.com/asq/ an artist (let alone as one of the hundreds of millions of film and television viewers worldwide).What has struck me over the years is not only how these one-dimensional negative stereotypes have remained alive and well, but have also hybridized into more subtle, but equally destructive, forms of dehumanizing Arabs and Muslims in film and television that I have been exposed to as an artist.The purpose of this article is to summarize the evolution of Arab and Muslim stereotypes as a primary tool in "learning to hate," and to directly link them to economic, political, colonial, and military realities. This evolution is intrinsically linked to the course of world events that have occurred since I wrote "Amr Goes to Hollywood."

“…This can be exemplified by looking at three founding Zionist myths. 4 First, the 'a land without people, for a people without a land' (Zangwill, 1901) founding myth denies Palestinians a national identity and instead merges them into an 'Arab entity' (Flapan, 1987;Finkelstein, 1995;Rose, 2004). This enabled the perception of a binary conflict between the little David (the Jewish people) and the giant Goliath (the Arabs) (Ben-Gurion, 1973[1967, p. 124).…”
