In what is sure to be a shocker, it has been revealed today that US President Elect Barack Hussein Obama is actually "Palestinian!" Well, to be exact, he is Bedua!
53 year old Sheikh 'Abdullah Rahman 'Abdul, mukhtar (chief/mayor) of Bir al Maksour village in Galilee revealed the blockbuster news in a televised interview late yesterday. The proof?
"We the Bedua have a special quality, we know who a person is and to which clan he belongs and according to his body movements we knew we were related. We believe that 2/3rds of a boy comes from his maternal uncles and there is a resemblance to his uncles. After we pondered it, and after we asked around, we realised that we are related to Obama."
Asked about "proof," "As well as this proof (sic), if we look at the Bush family for example, if you look at the son and the father, you see that they look similar"
Actually, Mukhtar Sheikh 'Abdul said he really does have proof in the form of pictures and documents, but his 95 year old mum will not let him reveal them. He said the clan is more than willing to do so, but only once Obama has ascended to the Presidency and hopefully as part of a clan delegation to personally present these things to their long lost relative at a ceremony in the White House.
The revelation has been the talk of Arab Galilee and Arabs, "Palestinians," and Bedua from near and far have made their way to the small village to hobknob with what they believe to be "local royalty." In any event the clans downtrodden status has been elevated to a high degree in the status oriented Bedua society. Prior to the stunning revelation Bir al Maksour village was best known as the home to a gang of marauding rapists who had attacked several women, including an armed soldier.
Mukhtar Sheikh 'Abdul hopes that this event will help bring the long stalled "Trans-Israel Hiway" that was supposed to pass right by the village, thus bringing some badly needed busineeses to the small village.
Asked what the relationship could really mean in the long term, 'Abdul said, "People are very happy. It is the first time that we have a black and Bedua President! When Obama won we even named newborn babies after him."
Asked what the family might offer Obama besides the promised documents and photos, 'Abdul said, "We grant a person we love who is victorious (sic) either a sword, a horse, or a bride. We do not want to give him a wife though because we might upset his wife."
See what they say about 6 Degrees? It really is a small world after all! I would pick a horse.

On a serious note though there are many black Bedua, and a smaller number of black "Palestinians" and Israeli-Arabs. The International Slave Trade is believed to have originated with Arabs and in any event it was they who spread it further than anyone. Israel outlawed slavery early on but locals persisted with the practice, after all Arabia only outlawed it in 1963.
Like any long standing traditional or culturism it is very difficult to challenge people's values and mores. The idiomatic Arabic for a "black person" is the Arabic word for "slave." To this day, when Arabs meet in the area and one is black, the lighter one will ask "Whose are you?"
Slaving raids, by Bedua, officialy began early in the English administration, in the 1920s. Unofficialy it continued and of course most did come from east Africa so although it is very unlikely, it is always possible. Of course they base it on nonsense but it is not outswude the realm of the believable.
Most black Bedua live in the Negev, but there ARE a scattering of black Bedua in Galilee although for the life of me I do not remember ever seeing any around that village.
