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

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."

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.
