Dear Taichifur-ball,
Here's just one point in response to your predictable shrieks of: "Apartheid ! Apartheid ! Apartheid !"
How can we explain the differences in treatment between Arab Israelis and Arabs in the "West Bank" and "Gaza Strip"? EASY PEASEY - that's how !
Are you aware, Taichifur-ball, Arabs living in the "West Bank" and Gaza Strip are not now - and NEVER have been, Israeli citizens, and, therefore cannot claim rights due to Israeli citizens? No, I don't think you knew that because American leftists are notoriously ignorant, and you are are certainly no exception(!).
Consider Taichi...All countries favour their own citizens vis-a-vis non-citizens. Right? (Actually, America, under the "Biden Potitburo", would seem to give lie to this basic premise, but the Biden government is, in fact, a freak, political abortion, so lets regard it as an anomolous aberration for now. OK ? So, if it's generally fair to say that countries favour their own citizens vis-a-vis non-citizens, doing so is not an indicator of Apartheid simply because the two groups are treated differently. Right? Moreover, many Arabs in the "West Bank" and "Gaza Strip" are engaged in an ongoing armed conflict with Israel. So Israel is faced with a hostile Arab population which has yet to comes to terms with Israel's existence and which actively seeks to destroy the Jewish State.
This means that Israel must take certain measures for its national security. Because of the ongoing conflict, the relationship with Arabs in the "West Bank" and "Gaza Strip" with Israelis primarily governed by the terms of the LAW of ARMED CONFLICT. Therefore, any acts or policies of alleged discrimination by Israel against Arabs living in the "West Bank" and "Gaza Strip" must be viewed through the lens of the Law of Armed Conflict.
So, as long as Israelis' actions and policies comply with international law, they are lawful.
In other words, I would argue that Israel's actions and policies are based on very well - recognised national security needs, and NOT ON RACIAL ANIMUS (of the type that was an integral,core component of the system ofApartheid, in South Africa, for example).
As you know Taichifur-ball, it always gives a tremendous sense of satisfaction being able enlighten leftist bone-heads like you. I feel I am - y'know - helping - in my own little way - to make the world a better place. So , if you would like to receive more instruction from me on the fact that Israel is NOT in any sense/way, an Apartheid state, I am more than happy to post you a forum "fireside chat" on the matter that should clear your vision and set you on the right track !
With Kindest Regards,
