Senate Dems Confirm Anti-Israel Activist ... Democrats confirmed ... a longtime member of and legal adviser to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), a notoriously anti-Israel organization that promotes anti-Semitic canards. The group routinely and inaccurately refers to Israel as an "apartheid state"

Arabs accusing Israel of being an "apartheid state" is laughable.

The poster child for "apartheid state" is Saudia Arabia. You know, the birthplace of Islam, Mecca, Medina, Imans galore who carry the blood of the so-called prophet, etc., etc.

Saudi Arabia practices the most overt, inhuman and unapologetic form of Apartheid on the face of the contemporary world. For starters, ask the women! Every adult Saudi woman, regardless of her economic or social status, must obtain permission from her male guardian to work, travel, study, seek medical treatment or marry. She is also deprived of making the most trivial decisions on behalf of her children. This system is supported by the imposition of complete sex segregation, which prevents women from participating meaningfully in public life.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an Islamic absolute monarchy in which Sunni Islam is the official state religion based on firm Sharia law. Non-Muslims must practice their religion in private and are vulnerable to discrimination and deportation. It has been stated that no law requires all citizens to be Muslim, but also that non-Muslims are not allowed to have Saudi citizenship. Children born to Muslim fathers are by law deemed Muslim, and conversion from Islam to another religion is considered apostasy and punishable by death. Blasphemy against Sunni Islam is also punishable by death, but the more common penalty is a long prison sentence. According to the U.S. Department of State's 2013 Report on International Religious Freedom, there have been 'no confirmed reports of executions for either apostasy or blasphemy' between 1913 and 2013. Religious freedom is virtually non-existent. The government does not provide legal recognition or protection for freedom of religion, and it is severely restricted in practice. As a matter of policy, the government guarantees and protects the right to private worship for all, including non-Muslims who gather in homes for religious practice; however, this right is not respected in practice and is not defined in law. Sharia applies to all people inside Saudi Arabia, regardless of religion. - Excerpt from Wiki

Apparently you have not been paying attention to what Trump has been doing in the middle east since he was elected. Mohammed Bin Salman, who is Crown Prince and ruling, has reformed the country tremendously, arrested hundreds and hundreds of those funding wahhabism including the worst, Talal bin Alwaleed, stripped these corrupt princes and others of their wealth, they are defanged. These corrrupt men were also bribing, blackmailing and funding plenty of democrats. Not any more! (Now they are getting bribed, blackmailed and funded solely by China...)

MbS has changed the rules and laws in so many ways that Saudi Arabia is now a different country, and will continue to improve. He also said that jihad is over, everyone in the world has heard of Mohammed, now just be peaceful and pray.

Women do not have to wear burkas, can travel alone, can drive, can attend functions without guardians and so on and so forth. You have not been paying attention.

Saudi Arabia has also been working with Israel in defense measures. And MbS appointed a woman asthe chief official cleric to interpret Koran statements and has said it is the duty of Muslims to protect religious freedom of everyone whatever their religion.

You really need to get up to speed.
