RE: Palestine Today
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
This gentleman has absolutely no credibility with me. He is trying to convince people that:
• Israel is targeting Arab Palestinians because the Arab Palestinians represent the other culture in that region and territory.
• He is among the many that are trying to convince people that:
■ Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.
■ That the Security Barrier is to separate Arab Palestinians from Arab Palestinians.
■ That the Arab Palestinians are the victims in the struggle → and that it is gracious of the Arab Palestinians to offer the Israelis a place in the One-State Solution.
■ That the turning point will be when the Israelis realize that it will be impossible to continue killing Palestinian Children. And that over 90% of the Jews support the continued massacring of Palestinians in Gaza.
■ That the Jews are going through the "nazification of their society.

(COMMENT)
While it is true that in 1991 (≈ a quarter century ago) the propagandists were able to pass a non-binding resolution that declared Zionism to Apartheid, it was revoked when the International Criminal Court defined what Apartheid means.
People like Professor Eid Haidar want to re-examine and redefine the nature of Apartheid so as to make it fit in the realities of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem. Like so many others, he wants to re-define and expanded the meaning
(See: Rethinking Our Definition of Apartheid: Not Just a Political Regime, by Haidar Eid, Andy Clarno on August 27, 2017) because he knows full well that the Rule of Law, in this case, says that:
■ The definition of a crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by
analog y. In case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favour of the
person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted.
The accusation of "Nazification" comes
(mostly but not always) from two frameworks regionally: The segment of the those identified as "self-hating" and those external Palestinians that cannot distinguish between the Nazification of Europe (≈ 1933 → 1939) and the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem of today.
- No Burning of the Muslim Books of those by Arab Palestinians authors
- No Antiislamic legislation and propaganda against "Non-Jews"
- No Looting and Destruction of Arab Palestinian owned business
- No ownership ban on businesses by Arab Palestinians
- Arab Palestinians are not required to wear an Arab Palestinians emblem on their closes;
- Arab Palestinians are not required to turn in their bicycles;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to use public transportation;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to ride in cars, even their own;
- Arab Palestinians are not required to do their shopping between 3:00 and 5:00 P.M.;
- Arab Palestinians are not required to use Arab-owned barbershops and beauty parlors;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to be out on the streets between 8:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M.;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to attend theaters, movies or any other forms of entertainment;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to use swimming pools, tennis courts or any other athletic fields;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to visit non-Arabs in their homes;
- Arab Palestinians are not forbidden to attend schools”
There are so many dissimilarities, one hardly knows where to begin. Certainly, Professor Haidar has a couple valid complaints to be made and discussed. But like so many anti-Semitic complaints, they are reduced in worth as something requiring a second look because of the disinformation that surrounds them.
The accusation of "nazificationis" is very much like the accusation of "apartheid." They invoke emotions and if not truly examined, they may tarnish the truth.
Most Respectfully,
