Anti-Palestinian racism is a type of Islamophobia rooted in Orientalism that seeks to silence, intimidate, demonize, servile and sanctions structural state repression of all expressions of Palestinian identity, culture and political speech.

@BetteMidler I find this to be Islamophobic and using the Muslim as the social imaginary negative other. Religious discourse in the West is self-referential and historically consistent, no need to use Islamophobia to make an argument.
