APARTHEID
Not Israel but PLO
Practices apartheid

Israelis participated in a wedding held this week in the village of Deir Qaddis in the Ramallah area, sparking a furor on social media, as reported by Kan journalist Nurit Yohanan.

Arab residents of the village were furious that Jews participated in the wedding. The village leader explained that he was unaware of the arrival of the Israelis to the village, saying that he expelled them and the Palestinian Arabs who were with them.

According to the village leader, the Jews came at the invitation of Palestinian Arab guests, who work together with them in a car repair shop. Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/264598

UNFORTUNATELY, this is not an “exception to the rule.”

Muslims can, and do, buy and build homes — some far nicer than many “Jewish” homes in Israel — but a Jew can not buy or build in the PLO areas.

THAT IS APARTHEID

Muslims can shop anywhere in Israel.

Jews cannot shop in Muslim stores in the PLO controlled areas.

Muslims can ride any bus, train, or taxi in Israel.

Israelis are warned not to enter PLO-controlled areas.

THAT IS APARTHEID

Every time some ignoramus proclaims that Israel is an apartheid state, listeners can safely assume several things:
  *   The ignoramus has no understanding of “apartheid”
  *   The ignoramus has never been to Israel or South Africa, the latter during white rule
  *   The ignoramus has zero first hand knowledge of either the PLO or it’s practice of anti-Jewish apartheid
  *   The ignoramus has a desire to implement apartheid against Israel (ergo the BDS movement).

Governments around the world have practiced apartheid — including the U.S. Consider the ghettos of Europe, the shtetls of the former USSR, the reservations in the U.S. — tools of apartheid all. Tools of segregation, for that’s what apartheid is in reality.

In the PLO-controlled areas, there are no “Jim Crow” laws as there were in the U.S. — separate water fountains for white and for “coloreds”; restaurants and stores with separate doors for “coloreds” and whites.

Why?

No Jews allowed.

NEXT TIME

The next time someone claims Israel is an “apartheid country,” CONSIDER THE SOURCE.


Apartheid (segregation; lit. "separateness") was a system of institutionalized racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa (Namibia)[1] from 1948 until the early 1990s. Apartheid was characterized by an authoritarian political culture based on baasskap (or white supremacy), which encouraged state repression of Black African, Colored, and Asian South Africans for the benefit of the nation's minority white population.

PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.

Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
