Yes I agree- let's get real
So You showed in Your link from a site which name translates from Arabic literally as "electronic shaking/uprising" -
1.The Israeli court supported Arabic citizens in their struggle against a cooperative of other Israeli citizens. What's the problem?
2.The site claims : 'cooperative associations,” communities mostly established since Israel’s creation in 1948, whose chief purpose is to bar non-Jews from residency."
That's simply a lie, not surprisingly coming from such a source.
A cooperative society is an organization of citizens gathered around a mutual idea who want to live with like minded people on a land they lease/rent together. Those organizations have entry commissions and are allowed to decide who to cooperate with,like in any organization.
There's no law saying an Arab can't buy an apartment anywhere in Israel. The can drive anywhere, have social security, medical services like every citizen and can study anywhere.
So no apartheid like in Saudi Arabia or Iran.
But You'll calm only when the balestinians have he right to become rabbis.
There's a bill in the Knesset, that could make them legal.
So what, the govt. approves citizens to lease a land to whom they choose to. Nothing to suggest apartheid.
On the contrary, You showed us that the Israeli court supported the Arab citizens in their struggle and that the 'Jews only road' was a myth.
Thank you.
Now what would you say about the arab apartheid against palestinians?
- 'The plight of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and other Arab countries has received little attention from the mainstream media in the West. Lebanon's apartheid laws deny Palestinians access to the majority of white collar positions in areas such as banking, medicine, management, law and education. Though born and raised in the country, they are denied political, economic and social rights."
Arab Apartheid Against Palestinians
Some of those laws in Lebanon on bases on self protection. It is a tiny country at time of some three million with around a million palestinians with arms sitting in their living room. Lebanon had no control inside the refugee camps. They could not disarm them or prevent their terrorism, kidnapping, hijacking, training or attacks.
There were not a surplus of jobs and most of the people did not trust them to hire them.
In the 70s they tried to carry out a coup in Jordan and more ended up in Lebanon.
They have tried to assassinate Assad in syria. They had been carrying on a war from the southern border with Israel. Lebanon had been dragged into three wars with Israel, mostly because of the palestinians.
They were the cause of a long and very blood civil war.
So what reason did the Lebanese have to open up their country and economy on a group of people being care for by the UN while not cooperating with the Lebanese government, but acting against it?
Palestinians carried out massacre in much the same as ISIS in Syria and Iraq is today. Should those country open up and welcome all the foreigner fighters to take jobs, food, power, fuel, supplies, medicine all the while abusing the native people?
It was not just Lebanon, but Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, the gulf states that did not allow them the best of jobs, homes and everything else while the natives suffered because of them.
One of worse bank robberies in the world was carried out by the palestinians against the Lebanese banks. The economy, based in large part on tourism could not support the palestinians.
Apartheid? They were foreigners that were expected to stay a short time and then go back home where they had come from. It was not an open invitation to milk the countries dry. Do you let a house guest kick you out of your house while still making payment on the mortgage and all utilities? Even taking your job and leave you to take a job elsewhere in the world so you can afford to support your family back home living is a small flat?
Should the president give illegals have the run of the white house, take jobs, take services, not pay taxes, send extra money back to mexico and destabilizing the ecomony? Maybe he could live in public housing and american can find jobs in south america just to make ends meet and keep their family in the US alive is some make shift trailer park? Maybe they can wage war on Canada in the process and then perhaps launch a few missiles at russia, just because they found the switch.
Sorry they are refugees but they can't use that as a excuse to take everything from the host country and shove the locals out the door.
Many were offered citizenship so they could get higher paying jobs, but after the abuse, it was withdrawn. Do you let an army that is stronger than the one you have park in the middle of your capital and train other armies in the major parks so they can wage global wars?
What is reasonable? What is fair? How far do you bend or compromise before you shatter?
There are millions of Lebanese, more than are in Lebanon now, that have become refugees and sought to find new homes and lives in other countries because they got shoved out or left to avoid war just like so many syrians have n the last few years. Till recently, Lebanese could not even vote in elections without returning to Lebanon and to their family town. Towns and areas that now were occupied by palestinians, often well armed palestinians. They are even waging war against each other within camps, from camp to camp, and every which way.
During the war, the generals in Lebanon shut the military down rather than have them attack their own, unlike syria. They did not want to have to wage war on their brothers, family and neighbors. They did not realize at the time the equipment would rust where it sat decades later.
The airlines leased out their commercial planes and crew to other airlines around the world, often making them leave their family behind to fend for themselves endangered by the war.
So you really want to compare Lebanon to South African apartheid? Or any other country in the region that took in the palestinians expecting it to be just a short time?
