Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: 10 Ways Israel Is Just Like Saudi Arabia [View all]shira
(30,109 posts)59. Stay on topic. It's about Apartheid vs. Palestinians....
You said it's best to compare Israel to S.Africa, so I wrote....
1. You defend Apartheid when the real genuine thing is happening to Palestinians north of Israel's border in Lebanon.
2. You prefer the current "apartheid" situation in the W.Bank over the PA/Hamas agreeing to any 2 state solution from the past couple decades.
So you're the one here supporting Apartheid.

Yes, 10 ways Bernie Sanders is just like Donald Drumpf would be the best rebuttal here.

Interesting OP, but I think a better comparison would be with Apartheid South Africa in the occupied

For me, a democratic political system is necessary for creating an Apartheid system.

I'd be impressed if she devoted similar energy to beating up China over Tibet.
