Palestinian-American literary historian Edward Said showed how the West had the power to represent the colonial ‘other’ - while simultaneously leaving them silent.

@@jetix382 I've read his book Covering Islam and other articles that appeared in various magazines. The more famous books, Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism are very literary in nature, so I read only some parts. I fancy reading his autobiographical book Out of Place. I've also read other Postcolonial literature by Frantz Fanon, Jawaharlal Nehru and Gayatri Spivak, besides Muhammad Asad (Leopold Weiss). All very fascinating.

I mean I understand it is not right, but I think not everyone can know everything in the world, that stereotypes will just always exist and gonna be a problem and people just need to be more educated and aware of it.

Because these stereotypes create a narrative that justify western interventionism, colonialism, epistemological domination and paternalism towards the east or the primitives that do not live in the western world, WHICH erases the fact that the West is responsible for many of today's problems in the East and Latin America.

Orientalism is specifically used by Europeans and Americans to serve colonial interests. However, you bring up an interesting point about Jews. Throughout history, Jewish people have definitely been stereotyped in similar ways as people from the “Orient”. For example, even though many Jews have long lived within Western societies, they were still often stereotyped by many Westerners as “the other.” Like people from the Orient, Jews were often stereotyped in art and media as being “mysterious,” “exotic,” “mystical,” or “threatening” to Western civilization.

When I think of the orient, I think of Jews. I think of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who were buried in the Holyland in Hebron. I think about Moses who brought down the tablets from Mt. Sinai. I think about the prophet Elijah who went into the sky in a flaming chariot. I think of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and John the Baptist. I think of Jerusalem, which is the holiest place for Jews in the world. I think of the fact that Jews have lived in the Orient since antiquity and gave the world Monotheism in its modern form, from which both Christianity and Islam are derived. I think of the fact that the Jewish state of Israel is the only refuge for Jews who survived the Holocaust and ethnically cleansed from all the Arabic countries in the 1950's. But most of all, I think about how an Arabic TV network like Al Jazeera is never going to mention a Jew in their publications, unless in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because for Arab Muslims Jews don't exist as part of the middle-east. Or am I being stereotypical?
