Israel — an Apartheid State?
Jewish World Review ^ | 8/30/2011 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 08/30/2011 6:10:24 AM PDT by Former Fetus

Next month, the UN-sponsored hate-Israel festival known as Durban III takes place. Under the heading "anti-racism," the great bulk of the conference, like Durban I and Durban II, consists of condemning Israel for racism and equating it to an apartheid state.

Of the world's many great lies, this is among the greatest.

How do we know it is a lie? Because when South Africa was an apartheid state, no one accused Israel of being one. Even the UN would have regarded the accusation as absurd.

Israel has nothing in common with an apartheid state, but few people know enough about Israel — or about apartheid South Africa — to refute the slander. So let's respond.

SNIP

There are lies, and then there are loathsome lies. "Israel is an apartheid state" falls into the latter category. Its only aim is to hasten the extermination of Israel.

When I watch the world's obsession with destroying Israel, I have to come to the conclusion that it is demonically inspired. I believe the promises God made to the patriarchs are still in effect. Israel will survive, Israel will own the land from the Nile to the Euphrates. And the rest of the nations will be judged according to how they dealt with Israel!

If Israel is an apartheid state, what does that make the rest of the Middle East where nonmuslims are routinely attacked, raped, forced to convert, hacked to death, places of worship bombed, or at the very least required to pay a protection tax that hardly does any good.

Does any Christian, Jew, Hindu etc have any rights in a muslim dominated land? What about women and children?

Israel is an apartheid State. The part that the Palestinians control freely discriminate based on race. No Jews are allowed to own land where the Palistinians control the land, in fact they are often killed on sight. Anywhere in Israel if you see Jews walking side by side with Arabs you know the Jews have legal control. If you see only Arabs, the Arabs have control. So, since there is no Palestinian State yet, Israel is technically an Apartheid State, (at least in Gaza). Jews in fact cannot get through the road blocks into the "unoccupied territories", only tourists and Arabs can go both ways in all roadblocks. Is this not the very definition of an Apartheid state, separate rules for classes of people by race?

However if you want a REAL Apartheid State, just look at Saudi Arabia. No non-Muslim need apply. So as long as the UN turns a Blind eye on Saudi to point at the Jews, you know that the UN is a Joke, a sock puppet of Islam at best.
