Over the past decades, the guilt regarding the slave trade was placed upon the Europeans, when the Arab political power which did rise in the 7th century never had to answer for the actions taken during their slave trade which lasted for 1,400 years. The non-Western origins of the Arabs allowed them to avoid facing their responsabilities regarding the spread of anti-blackness and the acknowledgment of the anti-African foundations of their world as the roots of their political institutions. The process of Arabization has often been promoted as a valid anti-colonial movement, when in reality, it proved to be a disaster for the Africans of the Middle East. Indeed, they were not only crushed or displaced, but they were also taken away from the ancient traditions they built as they found themselves being trapped within their indigenous lands frontiers. In the political hypocrisy, the Arab world would condemn the Israeli Zionist government for the occupation of the land, when North Africa, the Horn and the Swahili Coast have been culturally, racially and historically purposely separated from their black African roots by the Arab colonizers first, before the Europeans nurtured their own Eurocentric views. However, due to the North American agressions in Iraq or Syria, the Arabs, and white Arabized people who benefited from colonialism in the past have placed themselves under the status of victims and still refuse to acknowledge their responsability in the destruction of the black Africans. It is with the example of the Black Palestinians and Black Israelis that author and historian VKY (Victoria Kabeya) highlights the disastrous consequences of the Arabization for Africa and the Oriental African diaspora. Arabization was not a political desire to unify dominated populations, but a structured colonial system put in place and without which, the domination of the black Africans could have never happened.
