Anti-Arab racism, Islamophobia rife in Israel and US

Have there ever been more racist, more discriminatory elections in Israel and the US than the ones the world has watched in the last month?

It is not that this is a new phenomenon. Previous iterations have involved copious examples of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab racism. Questions must be asked as to whether this is getting worse, whether it will be addressed and how.

Let’s take the Israeli elections. Even now, the political system is almost paralyzed over whether Israeli Zionist parties will be prepared to form a coalition that is dependent on the two Palestinian parties, which got 19 Knesset seats between them.
