Is Israel the Same as South Africa?

[georgephillip]

"The question is not 'Is Israel the same as South Africa?'
It is 'do Israel's actions meet the international definition of what apartheid is?'

The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes against humanity 'committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.'"

A couple of other relevant questions include did Israel sign the 2002 Rome Statute, if not;why not, and does it even matter?

I think that Hitler made a strategic decision to classify Jews as a race and not a religion since, had he chosen the latter, half the Jews in Germany would have converted to Christianity.

It seems to me that distinction between race and religion has been used by Jews and non-Jews to cover many crimes during the last hundred years including the Right of Return in Palestine.

Well, I agree that a Jewish is not a racial category. So, right off the bat, its not a matter of "apartheid" under the international criminal code. As you can see, "apartheid" is defined as crimes committed "by one racial group over any other racial group;" a major element of the offense.

(COMMENT)

No, you are not wrong.

But more importantly, being Israeli is not a racial category either; it is a nationality. And, you can be Israeli and Palestinian simultaneously; however you define a Palestinian.

But it is also important to understand that when speaking of "apartheid" --- you are speaking of treatment difference with a given country. That is to say, the crime of "apartheid" doesn't apply to the "Occupied Territories" because it is not "sovereign Israeli territory." The crime of "apartheid" is "committed with the intention of maintaining that regime." So, in order to determine if there is the crime of "apartheid," you have to examine if an "Israeli" of one racial class is being treated differently than an "Israeli" of another racial class within the same regime.

Of the LINK cited, I did not see one "apartheid" issue mentioned.

(COMMENT)

I think you better ask for legal advise on the matter.

Anyone living in Israel at the time it declared independence in 1948 and at the end of the War of Independence, is an Israeli Citizen. (I think) They need not apply for citizenship, they are citizens. They just need to get their Oleh's certificate. I'm not an expert on their law, but it might be worth looking into if you fall in that category.

But remember, the entire idea behind the establishment of the Jewish State, was to find a protective landscape for those that would be oppresses simply because they were Jewish.

No. Israel is full of God-worshiping Jews who just want to be left alone. South Africa is a hellhole full of godless blacks who breed like rats.

"Jewish atheism refers to atheism as practiced by people who are ethnically, and to some extent culturally, Jewish. Because Jewishness encompasses ethnic as well as religious components, the term "Jewish atheism" does not necessarily imply a contradiction.

"Based on Jewish law's emphasis on matrilineal descent, even religiously conservative Orthodox Jewish authorities would accept an atheist born to a Jewish mother as fully Jewish.[1]

"One recent study found that half of all American Jews have doubts about the existence of God, compared to 10–15% of other American religious groups."

BTW, are you prejudiced against black rats?

so then, what i understand, and i could be wrong, but you are not opposed and, indeed, are in favour of religious groups being able to carve out national homelands and soveriegn states in the places of their choosing, depriving the indigenous people, natives, and current inhabitants of their properties, rights, and thwarting their national aspirations?

if this is not the case, then i see no way around concluding that you advocate special treatment of a people based upon their religious choice?

and i also imagine that is the feelings of most zionists.

i think i am going to have to go with religion with a small ethnic component. perhaps at one time it was an ethnicity but you really can't convert to an ethnicity.
