Israeli Apartheid and the UK's Complicity

[JimC]

An apartheid regime where Arab and Jewish citizens enjoy equal rights. Good one.

Perhaps in theory, but certainly not in practice. The hard-liners behind the settlement program have a clear agenda of pushing Israeli arabs from their land, and claiming it for jews. Tacit encouragement comes from the current Israeli government and the military.

You're the fucking racist Strontium Dog. Arabs are from Arabia and have no claim on the land? Fuck off. Seriously. Fuck off.

Nearly all of it. Don’t be a fuckwit.

It's like the good old days at ratz again!

(just waiting now for Brian to ride in with the stick up his arse and tell everyone to play nicely... )

Could all participants in this thread please refrain from personal stuff - it is possible to make a trenchant and robust rebuttal without calling people names... (and rEv, I just checked - there ain't no stick up my arse...)

well, tot take a new tack on this thread, I suspect that America's complicity with the various crimes of the israeli state and military against the indigenous population is far greater, and has been for at least 50 years, than the UK's, even if, by abusing the mandate they had over Palestine, the UK set up the whole problem bereshit, or should I say around 1948.

To make my point in a slightly more civil way, suggesting that Jews are in some way responsible for their historical fate because they have always insisted on being 'separate' is akin to victim blaming of the highest order. Raped? Well she shouldn't wear such skimpy clothes, should she!?

Nothing wrong with apartheid when one group is out to kill you.

This is why I in no way support the Netanyahu government or zealot settlers.

But the settlements will be dismantled eventually, just as they were in Sinai when peace with Egypt was achieved.
