There are 55 Moslem countries in the world. 52 of them are text book aparthied states. Women, and non moslems are treated as second and third class citizens. Non Moslims are not permitted to enter Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The Palestinians however are not Israeli citizens and as such are not entitled to the same rights as citizens. That is not aparthied, as aparthied is an afrikaner word that was created to segregate white citizens from non white citizens. Every country has different standards for citizens and non citizens. Hyperbola just happens to miss these little important realities. How convenient!!!!!

How you must weasel and wiggle to cover up zionist crimes against humanity Edmar! Good to see that there are jews like Uri Davis who outright call you a liar. Of course, even israeli newspapers call you a liar.
Yes, it is Israeli apartheid
Religion â;; It is entirely clear why the word apartheid terrifies us so. What should frighten us, however, is not the description of reality, but reality itself. Even Ehud Olmert has understood at last that continuing the present situation is the end of the Jewish democratic state.

Do we give handouts to the tune of $20,000 dollars for every man, woman, and child to any other apartheid country except for Israel?
Israel could be a great ally, but they need to play by the rules.
Oh yeah, and I want my money back, with interest!

> herding the "subhumans" into Bantusans and pretending not to count them was also a favorite trick of the afrikaners and in this the zionists are no different.
If you really believe that this is the case, you'll have no troubles to NAME a couple of Israeli "Bantustans" where the Zionists herd those "subhuman christian and moslem citizens of israel" (by the way Israel is A STATE and in English its name should start with a CAPITAL letter, just like a person's name.
Well, I'm all ears, 'hyperbola'. Can you NAME a couple of these Israeli "Bantustans" where the Zionists herd those "subhuman christian and moslem citizens of israel" if you don't mind?

Sure, the prison camp in Gaza is one of the most obvious.
GAZA REFUGEE CAMP PROFILES
The Gaza Strip is unique amongst UNRWA's five fields of operations as the majority of its population is refugees and over half of the refugees live in eight camps. Most of the people who fled to the Gaza Strip as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war were from Jaffa, towns and villages south of Jaffa, and from the Beersheva area in the Negev. In all, some 200,000 refugees came to Gaza, whose original inhabitants numbered only 80,000. Such an influx severely burdened this narrow strip of land; an area of only 360 square kilometers. Over three-quarters of the current estimated population of some 1.4 million are registered refugees; representing 22.42 per cent of all UNRWA registered Palestine refugees....

Well, of course... except that Gaza is NOT IN ISRAEL, 'hyperbola', is it?
It seems that in addition to your admisssion of having no clue of WHO "Palestinians" were or WHAT was the meaning of "ethnic cleansing" you have no clue of Palestinian georgaphy.

Sorry thinker, but your zionist "weasel outs" carry no weight with the world and only serve you as excuses to placate your conscience for the criminal excesses of your sect.
The UN partition (itself a crime against humanity purchased by bribes and corruption of US latin american satrapies because Truman thought he needed zionists votes in our election of 1948) required that the christian and moslem population NOT be discriminated by the zionists. The immediate ethnic cleansing by zionists in fact invalidates the UN partition.
Time for the one million plus prisoners in Gaza created by zionist ethnic cleansing to return to their homes in Jaffa, Beersheba, the Negev, ... as guaranteed by international human rights law.

As I've pointed out many times ALL Israeli citizens have exactly the same rights guaranteed by Israeli laws. None of them are discriminated.
> The immediate ethnic cleansing by zionists in fact invalidates the UN partition.
The US partition was AN OFFER to end the conflict by creating two states in Palestine. The Jews AGREED to the conditions of the UN offer and the Arabs REJECTED (and by doing it they've, obviously, INVALIDATED it). Further, it was the war against Israel started by the Arabs that caused mass migration of the Arab population, not some mysterious "ethnic cleansing" you're unable to define. People tend to run from battlefields, you know...

You are simply lying again Thinker. Official israeli documents and israeli historians expose your lies.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestine
By Ilan Pappe
Univeristy of Haifa
The book shows that in 1948, the Zionist movement waged a war against the Palestinian people in order to implement its long term plans of ethnic cleansing (whereas Israeli historians, including 'new historians', claimed that the war was waged by the Arab world against the state of Israel in order to eliminate it and it resulted in expulsions of Palestinians). The Arab world tried to prevent this cleansing, but was too fragmented, self-centered and ineffective to stop the uprooting of half of Palestine's native population, the destruction of half of its villages and towns and the killing of thousands of its people.

What is more thinker, the zionist crimes against humanity continue to this day. Indeed, the world's BIGGEST refugee problem is that caused by zionist ethnic cleansing.

People of Gaza can "return" to any place or state willing to accept them. Israel is not such place. The "international human rights law" guarantees their "right to return" to Israel no more than it guarantees the right of the grandchildren of Germans who once lived in Danzig or East Prussia to "return" to Poland and Russia, respectively.

The world has guaranteed that right ever since partition and underscored it almost every year at the UN.
If you deny the UN resolutions are appropriate, then the very existence of the israeli state is subject to revision. Certainly its existence as a "jewish" state is unacceptable in the modern world.

I do not deny the UN Resolutions, the Arabs do. They've rejected the UN Partition Resolution 181 calling for establishment of two states in Palestine, the UN Resolution 242 declaring that EVERY state in the region has the right to exist in safe and secured boundaries and every single UN Resolution based on that UNR242 assumption.

Of course... just as the existence of France as a "french" state, Germany as a "german" state, Spain as a "spanish" state, Japan as a "japanese" state, Russia as a "russian" state as well as the existence of the 21 Arab states.
If and when the "modern world" will eliminate all these and many other nation-states that are "certainly unacceptable" we'll continue.
