Look away! There's no genocide happening here! The entire West Bank has always been part of Israel!
When the US occupied Iraq, we didn't give Iraqis the right to vote in US elections. By your definition that made the US an apartheid state.
The United States was an invader and an occupier of Iraq. You're delusional if you think Muslims have the same rights and opportunities as Jews in Israel.
I studied US/Israel comparative law in law school. So unless my professor was delusional, and the authors of all the books about it were delusional, and the original sources were hallucinats ... I'd say the more likely situation is that you simply don't know what you're talking about.
Next you're gonna say America is the land of opportunity and minorities only have a hard time because they're lazy.
Not at all. I'm extremely liberal, and very upset by income and wealth inequality in the US, and the lack of meritocracy.
Then I'll give you a hint, America and Israel are part of the same military-industrial-economic complex. They both only serve to empower those at the top of the hierarchy of violence, and they use minorities as a scapegoat. BTW: Meritocracies are still hierarchies of inequality. They STILL grind the disabled and impoverished into dust.
Liberal Nazist fascist? That's an oxymoron.
You might want to Google some basic political fundamentals.
Hmm, you seem to be on to something here. So what you are saying is that if you conquer a place, and then take away the citizens of that place right to self-determination and start genociding them, that by definition that is an apartheid state... But how can that be if another state also does the same thing?
Genocide, too, huh?
Listen, when your hatred for Israel is so blind that you are just slapping on whatever evil label you can think of, you're just hurting your own case.
I hate all countries whose soldiers target visibly-distinct journos and doctors.
So do I. But if you'll notice, this isn't Israel policy, and when individual soldiers step out of line they are immediately investigated and punished.
Correct, instead they have "Basic Laws" which uphold human rights, civil Rights, and equal justice. Everything you'd want from a constitution.
