Israeli Apartheid

israeli apartheid is a misconception of the state of israel, and a term used by people who have no idea what the word really means, and no idea of the situation or of the current or past state of the country.

apartheid definition: a government policy that is enforced as law in which segregation is implemented on the grounds of skin colour and/or ethnicity.

israel is about as far as a country can get from being an apartheid state. in israel, every citizen has the same political, religious, legal, geographical, s-xual, human and speech rights. in israel, it is illegal to discriminate or segregate based on race, religion, gender or ethnicity.

since neither gaza nor the west bank are part of israel, they cannot be considered in this argument. the gaza blockade has been claimed by some to be a giant, open air concentration camp or prison. to those people i say: you have obviously neither been to gaza, nor to a concentration camp. i cannot find a reference anywhere on earth, at any time, to a prison or concentration camp that had/has its own zoo and luxury shopping mall. the wall is a border. it was a necessary step taken to prevent terror attacks and illegal immigrants. and many forget that egypt also has a blockade against gaza, and it is just as or even more strictly enforced than israel’s.
ignorant person: israel is a disgusting zion-z- apartheid state. gaza and palestine are under a system of israeli apartheid. free palestine!

informed person: you have obviously never been there, so stop embarr-ssing yourself. in israel, every citizen has equal rights, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, language, etc. gaza is not a part of israel, so it cannot be under “israeli apartheid”.
