Need I really blast this pathetic attempt to brand Israel maliciously erroneous?
Oh, why wait for an answer......
False claims are historical for Arabs when dealing with Israel and the West, but anything that smears the Jews (especially Isrealis) is welcome entertainment to the outside for many.
So Israel is an apartheid like South Africa, huh?
1) In a state practiciing apartheid, would Arab Muslims legislators wield veto power over anything?
2) At only 20 percent of the population, would Arabs even be eligible for election if they squirmed under the thumb of apartheid?
3) Would an apartheid state extend voting rights to women and the poor in local elections, which Israel did for the first time in the history of Palestinian Arabs?
4) Would the vast majority of Arab Israeli citizens turn out to vote in national elections, as they've usually done?
5) Would an apartheid state have several Arab political parties, as Israel does?
6) Would the judiciary be free of political interferences? In the 2003 Israeli elections, two Arab parties found themselves disqualified for expressly supporting terrorism against the Jewish state. Israel's supreme court overturned both disqualifications.
7) Would an apartheid state award its top literary prize to an Arab? Israel honored Emile Habibi in 1986.
8) Would an apartheid state encourage Hebrew-speaking schoolchildren to learn Arabic?
9) Would road signs throughout the land appear in both languages?
10) Would an apartheid state be home to universities where Arabs and Jews mingle at will, or apartment blocks where they live side by side?
11) Would an apartheid state bestow benefits and legal protections on Palestinians who live outside of Israel but work inside its borders?
12) Would human rights organizations operate openly in an apartheid state? They do in Israel. In fact, every year the prime minister responds on the record to the report of Israel's leading human rights groups.
13) Would an apartheid state's media debate the moral rectitude of national policies?
You see, the joke here is how Arabs try their hardest to criticize and falsly accuse Israel of all these evil dastardly things. It's too bad they don't extend that same effort towards their own governments and ask why they can't be treated as Muslims are in Israel. They are too busy focusing on the betrayed that they are blind to who is doing the betraying. And sad part of this grand joke is how some westerners flock and gravitate towards anything that might criticize Israel as they claim to actually
care for Palestinians. No matter the lie or exaggeration, always you will find the same type of figure seeking to get in a dig.
