MAYBE TO THOSE WHO DENY ISRAELI APARTHEID, BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO THOSE IN THE KNOW.Comparing Israel to South Africa is a far fetch.

“Not only is this group of people [Palestinians] being oppressed more than the apartheid ideologues could ever dream about in South Africa, their very identity and history are being denied and obfuscated.”
--Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, 2012
More than the apartheid ideologues could ever dream about in South Africa?
Think on that!
Morality has never been a strong point with the zionist Israeli jews. ...Which means deliberately and intentionally denying Arab Palestinians their self-determination, self-government and independence. Which would seem, to me, to be immoral.

But I am not talking about the word Semite, nor anti-semite here. While I agree with your points on those words, I still would welcome some intelligent discourse from you regarding the word I did post about, instead.[And, if you want to talk about "stealing" words... How about 'Semite'... Or perhaps, the bastardization to antisemite...
Semites are Jew AND Arab!
Antisemite is being against both yet Israel hijacked this for their SOLE use as a way of trying to demonise those who speak out against Israel...
Rock on
Israel is a perfect analog to Apartheid South Africa,<snip>
Although I do realize you used the word, 'analogy'. In my opinion, Apartheid was a noun coined specifically for the situation in South Africa and only South Africa. That is why is is usually capitalized as a proper noun. It's origin is in the arfikaans language from Dutch.Israeli Apartheid and South African Apartheid are not exactly the same thing.
One of the things that should be discussed respect to the charges of apartheid, which no one ever does is to differentiate between so-called apartheid within Israel and so-called apartheid outside Israel in areas governed by the PA and Hamas.
Those who charge Israel with apartheid in areas governed by the PA and Hamas are requiring Israel to be responsible for areas under the authority of another government. This is ridiculous. The only way Israel can be responsible for those areas is if it takes over government of those areas. Which means deliberately and intentionally denying Arab Palestinians their self-determination, self-government and independence. Which would seem, to me, to be immoral.
Of course Israel is an apartheid state.
It defies logic to claim otherwise. ....
You have not replied to the quote from Tutu, so I am guessing you really don't want to discuss it as it blows away your OP like it was a feather.

Unless you personally experience apartheid in SA then you can really make no comparison!
There are similarities BUT even though Israel DOES carry out 'aparthied''-esque actions but it is so NOT an "apartheid state" in the terms of what SA apartheid was!
The word "apartheid" over the last few decades has evolved, and now describes any situation where a racial minority is being persecuted by a powerful majority.Apartheid was a noun coined specifically for the situation in South Africa and only South Africa.

Israel's brutal treatment of the Palestinian people is the perfect example of the word "apartheid" in current use today. ...
LOL! Are you denying he said it or did you blow it away? HAHAHA!You have not replied to the quote from Tutu, so I am guessing you really don't want to discuss it as it blows away your OP like it was a feather.
Without a source for your so called 'quote' that you had to post in gargantuan bolded text, I already blew your so called 'quote' away. It's about a mile or two away already.
