A map of Israeli settlements and outposts in Palestinian territories. Sure are a lot of them.

One day, for no reason at all, Yasser Arafat did that? Why?

I think it was because Jews ethnically cleansed his people off the land they had lived on for thousands of years. You know Israel was founded on ethnic cleansing, right?

"The New York Times has often dismissed as unthinkable the prospect of Palestinian refugees exercising their right, under international law, to return to the homes from which they were driven or fled on what is now Israeli-controlled territory. The "refugees number in the millions, and their return," explained David M. Halbfinger in a 2018 article, "would probably spell the end of Israel as a Jewish state." In other words, Palestinians cannot be repatriated otherwise the ethnic character of Israel as a Jewish state will be undermined.

This is not unlike justifying an immigration policy that bars the entry of non-whites into the United States on the grounds that the influx of millions of dark-skinned people would threaten the United States as a white state, or bars Muslims in order to preserve ‘the Christian character’ of the country. Such a policy would be recognized as racist in the US or Canadian contexts, so why would the parallel policy in the Israeli context not be branded as racist as well?"

Oh wow! Look at that! You "proved" your point by posting the PERSONAL OPINION of some unknown guy who says that Israel is an apartheid state full of horrible bigots and brutal racists. GASP! I am so impressed!

Nah, I'm not. The simple truth is that you've been programmed your entire life to "learn" things in one certain way (which is actually indoctrination) and that, to you, the only important thing is that YOU MUST ACCEPT AS TRUE WHATEVER POPULAR OPINION SAYS IS TRUE, REGARDLESS IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT. So, everyone says that "Israel is a hateful, despicable apartheid state" so you jump on the bandwagon with them screaming the same thing for nothing more than the sake of "fitting in." You know what that makes you? It makes you a real, literal NAZI!, no different than the Brown Shirts of the 1930s who went about smashing windows of Jewish shops, assaulting and beating people. Sound familiar? Does it sound like Antifa rioting in the streets smashing shop windows? Does it sound like people mindlessly assaulting and beating Conservatives and Republicans and anyone else you don't agree with? Okay, honestly, I don't expect you to believe, much less read, all of this. You're too accustomed to getting all of your input in 30 second sound bites. That's sad because you have no idea of the horrible, destructive thing you're part of, much less of what you're missing out on by not being a thinking, logical, independent, self sufficient person and not just another mindless grain of sand on a vast beach of mindless humanity.

There are few places in the world where governments construct a web of nationality and residency laws designed for use by one section of the population against another. Apartheid South Africa was one. So is Israel.

The laws of Israel are specifically designed to ensure that the nation of Israel is dominated politically, socially, and economically by the nation's Jewish population, as per the Basic Law's assertion that the Jewish people have the unique claim to national self-determination in the State of Israel. Apartheid is a perfectly reasonable way to describe these policies at a rhetorical level.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah Apartheid Israel blah blah blah blah blah blah. Do you even know what Apartheid is? (Beyond the false Marxist definition, I mean? Also were you even alive when Apartheid in South Africa was ended? Had you been born yet? I wonder.

It's funny because I see a lot of very profound bullshit being thrown around about things that happened or seemed to exist by young people who weren't even alive when those things happened so how could they (or you) know the truth about any of it? I have to wonder. Still, it's like Joseph Goebbels said; "if you repeat a lie to enough people for long enough it will eventually become the truth." I know I'm making perfect sense about everything I'm posting. I know my life experiences and the things I know to be true are profoundly valid no matter what anyone else says but, just like the drunk driver who won't give up his keys no matter how anyone tries to get him to give them up and he ends up driving himself to his death, you will not listen for any reason ever because "you know you're right" even when the truth is that everything you know is wrong.

Am I talking to a procedurally generated script? I am, aren't I?

The only comment in this thread that's actually honest and makes sense.

I don't know how long this site's been around but, if you've been here for a while, I think it would be interesting to read through your old posts and see just when you started calling Israel an "apartheid state". Was that before or after the MSM and your Leftist friends told you to?
