Yeah actually though it’s you, Amnesty, HRW, and B’Tselem who have made up a new definition of apartheid that only applies to Jews.
Maybe your problem is that you believe reports from anyone who makes them. Anyone can make a report.
Why not check the peer reviewed law review articles on this subject, see how ridiculous everyone in the actual world of law finds these one-sided and biased reports. Because, once again, apartheid is a system of a minority control over the majority, the literal opposite of democracy. Israel is a democracy, period. It cannot also be an apartheid regime such as South Africa was, unless you redefine the word, which, again, is racist, and it is what you’re doing.
So far in denial you think the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (Apartheid Convention) and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute are all antisemitic. That human rights organizations are antisemitic, even the Jewish Israeli ones. That the UN is antisemitic. That the ICJ is antisemitic. Huh, maybe it’s not just anyone making these reports. Maybe there’s exhaustive evidence that’s independently verified and upheld to international standards of law.
"Why don’t you ignore all that and listen to just state propaganda instead?’ No shit State department propaganda defends and justifies the position of State Department actions. That’s the entire purpose of manufacturing consent. We’ve also defended our use of nuclear bombs on dense population centers, carpet bombing Vietnamese villagers, use of chemical weapons like agent orange, our invasion and terrorism of Iraq and Afghanistan, WMDs in iraq. It’s almost like US propaganda has reliably lied about and also justified the actions of the state.
You’re incredibly gullible. You’re too scared to click on any of those links, you’d rather stick to your safety net of denial. You don’t care about Apartheid, if you did you’d learn about the definitions in international law and take those reports seriously. Because they are made by human rights organizations that do highly credible work and are recognized internationally for it.
Then read the reports, because that is effectively what you’re saying when you ignore them and also promote articles by people literally working for the US State Department
People working for it, but not the Secretary, not the Deputy Secretary. There are 80,000 people working for the State Department.
Although I think you will find if you actually look at what people have said, they are saying Israel is like apartheid, not that it is apartheid.
Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank are not citizens of Israel. Why is it a crime against humanity for Israel to grant lesser rights to non citizens? Literally every other country does that, too. But the only time anyone calls it apartheid is when it involves Israel.
And it’s never to argue about any specific policy that Israel has toward non-citizens, it’s just to say “Israel is evil and Hamas is justified in targeting Israeli civilians.” Hmmm.
I have looked at what these organizations have said and why. Israel is guilty of the crime of Apartheid by the international standards of law. The reasons why are laid out. I’ve provided plenty of sources to show how exactly that is the case. You choose not to read the reports. You choose not to even watch the videos, which are much easier to digest. You have made the decision to be willfully ignorant. It’s on you to take that next step. Everyone is susceptible to propaganda, that includes you, that includes me. That’s why I look for independent reporting, and the works of multiple historians. That’s why I look into what sources they use and why.
I’ve looked at the NATO documents and what they claim. They use nearly exclusively military Israeli sources, which have an extensive track record of lying and fabrication. Yet NATO documents take them at face value. Other documents they use can even show contradictions to what the NATO documents claim with those sources. Those are the reasons I don’t consider it a credible source.
Yeah, it doesn’t feel good to second guess your own biases. I had a difficult time finding out all the terrible shit the US has done and continues to do on foreign policy. I still did it, because I’d rather have the full story. Even if it means coming to terms that the country I’m a citizen of (US) has done abhorrent war crimes.
You genuinely want to believe Israel is a real democracy. That’s why you’re so against seriously considering these sources and reports on how Israel is guilty of Apartheid. Because you can’t have a democracy and an Apartheid, if you have an Apartheid then you don’t have a real democracy. There is nothing more I can do for you other than point you to books by new Historians on the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Like John Spencer? Who gets his research reviewed and rwferenced and looked at by Bibi? You think that this guy is telling you the truth and isn’t a propaganda arm of Israel???
If you discard Al Jazeera for being funded by Qatar, then be fair and discard John Spencer for being a literal propaganda pusher.
