Op-Ed: Israel--not Apartheid; Islam--Nothing but Apartheid
Arutz Sheva ^ | 18/5/16 | Prof. Phyllis Chesler

ation state--and a state involved in "ethnic cleansing." Pure propaganda! This is a brazen Big Lie.

The largest practitioner of both gender and religious apartheid in the world is Islam or Islamism.

Religious apartheid exists when the dominant state religion allows no other religion to exist and flourish. For example, Muslim countries do not allow churches to be built, Christian insignia to be displayed; Muslim mobs and governments destroy existing churches or convert them into mosques.

Today, living Christians are persecuted, tortured and murdered in the name of Islam all across the Muslim world......Afghanistan was once a mainly Buddhist country until Islamic Jihad ravaged the land and massacred the Buddhist monks who refused to convert...

Jews? We are pariahs, "monkeys," evil-doers --and this is the only reason that Israel, the Jewish state, has been under attack for more than one hundred years in the Jewish Holy Land. It is the reason that Muslim mobs and Muslim leaders have consistently exiled, taxed, tortured and murdered Arab, North African, and Central Asian Jews.

Israel allows Arab Muslims and Arab Christians to live in Israel--they are Israeli citizens, some serve in the Knesset, sit on the Israeli Supreme Court, work as physicians, nurses, and researchers in Jewish hospitals.

Palestinians envision Shomron and Judea aka the West Bank as a place that must become "yudenrein," free of Jews. Thisis ethnic cleansing. The entire Muslim Middle East is now "yudenrein," just as Gaza now is. This is ethnic cleansing.

In terms of gender apartheid: I once lived in Kabul and was, in effect, held captive there for five long months in a marriage that was not at all what I expected. I write about this in An American Bride in Kabul. I love my opening line..."I once lived in a harem in Afghanistan..."

Well, since there are some 367 million Arabs and only 14+ million Jews in the world, (source: Google) the imbalance is understandable.

I SERIOUSLY doubt if anyone can force "one-child" families on the Arab countries like Mao did in China.

Maybe they can be reeducated, like the Sioux in Carlisle, or (pardon me for the comparison, Sioux Freepers) post-war Japanese.

When we were in Israel in 2011 the Israeli Jews HAD to hire Palestinians, whether Muslim or Christian, to do the work as there simply were NOT enough Jews to do all the work of their nation.

The Israeli Jews would not do certain work: wash toilets, for example.
They WOULD do road work, however, and we SAW that. Some were talking about their "real" profession...as they all seemed to be ULTRA educated back where they were born...but in "their land," Israel, they were working on the chain gang to repair roads.

What a world.

One of our priests said: If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. :o)

Maybe they can.
I suppose it depends on their age, education, intelligence and willingness to change.

In Bat Ayin in the Gush, they have absolutely no Arab workers. Won’t even allow Arabs to enter the town.

Highly ideologically motivated Jews, who know they have to walk the walk.
