RE: BREAKING: The UN concludes that Israel has established an APARTHEID REGIME...

A vast majority of countries in the world have selected areas that have gone underdeveloped. Israel is not unique in that regard. It is just "al Jazeera" has chosen to focus its attention on the Slum Area of South Tel Aviv.

◈ In Egypt, the Sudan Nest, a slum near al-Dokki neighbourhood in Cairo, is an example.
◈ Amman Jordan has slum areas in the Eastern Side of the City.
◈ Beriut Lebanon has the Hay al-Gharbe area.
◈ Damascus Syria has the Rukn al-Din Area.
Even an oil-rich country like Saudi Arabia is discretely planning to redevelop slums in and around the capital. It is a never-ending effort to restore neighborhoods as part of a wider plan to keep up with soaring demand for affordable housing.
Most urban regions of the world have a pyramid-like hierarchy of development with the most wealthy at the top and the least wealthy at the bottom. The fact that, for one reason or another, the Israelis have not built a utopia for everyone is evidence of limited economic urban development resources, not some sinister plot of apartheid.
It does not matter what country you look at, even the very richest cities like Doha, Luxembourg, or Singapore have their own poor areas (slums) of the City.
Don't think for a moment that the "al Jazeera" think piece shows evidence of some sort of discrimination. Poverty and poor infrastructure can be seen in almost every nation. Even Norway, being the nation rated the highest on the scale used in the Human Development Index, has the Oslo Ghetto (– Grønland).
