RE: BREAKING: The UN concludes that Israel has established an APARTHEID REGIME...
SUBTOPIC: Apartheid
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: Because it is not "apartheid." There is No "racial" component (See Ref "a"). Israel is actually more diverse that and of the adjacent either the West Bank or Gaza Strip. There is not cultural component on the Arab Palestinian side of the "border" marking the Sovereignty of Israel then there is on the Israeli side.
(REFERENCE)
a. SOURCE: Article 7(2h) • Crimes Against Humanity • Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
b. Zionism is NOT a form of racism or racial discrimination. SOURCE: A/RES/46/86, 16 December 1991, Decides to revoke the determination contained in its resolution 3379 (XXX) of 10 November 1975.
Key factors about Israel:
c. SOURCE: Article 7 (1) (j). Crime against humanity of APARTHEID Elements of the Offense of "Apartheid", International Criminal Court Rome Statutes • The conduct was committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups.
There are true fallacies which I would like to bring you attention:
It is the Arab Palestinian Prosecutor that must demonstrate the Elements of the Offense. Among other considerations there is: Article 22 Nullum crimen sine lege • Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Most Respectfully,
R

There are true fallacies which I would like to bring you attention:
◈ Argument from ignorance (appeal to ignorance, argumentum ad ignorantiam) – assuming that a claim is true because it has not been or cannot be proven false, or vice versa.
◈ The Arab Palestinians suggests that they need not prove their claim, but, the Israelis must prove the Arab Palestinian claim of Apartheid is false.
It is the Arab Palestinian Prosecutor that must demonstrate the Elements of the Offense. Among other considerations there is: Article 22 Nullum crimen sine lege • Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
The definition of a crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by analogy. In case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favour of the person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted.
