The Greater Israel Theory is an Antisemitic Myth

[Winston]

the poster agreed that in Iran, there are different laws and limitations for minorities based on their ethnic identity. That's apartheid. You can try to ignore it also if you want.

No, this is Apartheid.

The key tool Israel uses to implement the principle of Jewish supremacy is engineering space geographically, demographically and politically. Jews go about their lives in a single, contiguous space where they enjoy full rights and self-determination. In contrast, Palestinians live in a space that is fragmented into several units, each with a different set of rights – given or denied by Israel, but always inferior to the rights accorded to Jews.

The Israeli regime pursues this organizing principle in four major areas:

• Land – Israel works to Judaize the entire area, treating land as a resource chiefly meant to benefit the Jewish population. Since 1948, Israel has taken over 90% of the land within the Green Line and built hundreds of communities for the Jewish population. Since 1967, Israel has also enacted this policy in the West Bank, building more than 280 settlements for some 600,000 Jewish Israeli citizens. Israel has not built a single community for the Palestinian population in the entire area stretching from the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River (with the exception of several communities built to concentrate the Bedouin population after dispossessing them of most of their property rights).
  
• Citizenship – Jews living anywhere in the world, their children and grandchildren – and their spouses – are entitled to Israeli citizenship. In contrast, Palestinians cannot immigrate to Israeli-controlled areas, even if they, their parents or their grandparents were born and lived there. Israel makes it difficult for Palestinians who live in one of the units it controls to obtain status in another, and has enacted legislation that prohibits granting Palestinians who marry Israelis status within the Green Line.
  
• Freedom of movement – Israeli citizens enjoy freedom of movement in the entire area controlled by Israel (with the exception of the Gaza Strip) and may enter and leave the country freely. Palestinian subjects, on the other hand, require a special Israeli-issued permit to travel between the units (and sometimes inside them), and exit abroad also requires Israeli approval.
  
• Political participation – Palestinian citizens of Israel may vote and run for office, but leading politicians consistently undermine the legitimacy of Palestinian political representatives. The roughly five million Palestinians who live in the Occupied Territories, including East Jerusalem, cannot participate in the political system that governs their lives and determines their future. They are denied other political rights as well, including freedom of speech and association.

I didn't agree to anything, so there's that.

Iran is a majority Persian Nation, but other minorities are represented in their elected parliament.

Unlike the Occupied Territories of the Zionist Entity.

Outright LIE by the Jew-hater.

 

[Winston]

can't answer the question I notice. Your anger makes you weak.

Honey, your question was more than noted. You cannot be taken serious when you start posting bullshit from the "NGO Monitor". I mean do some homework.

are they citizens of Israel? If not, why would they be allowed to vote?

And are there any Israeli citizens of Palestine?

and you are still ignoring the apartheid in Iran.

so you arbitrarily decide that one source is reputable and another isn't. How convenient. Someday, you might even look at the content. Good luck with that.

 

[Winston]

Let's try this again -- you acknowledge that in Iran, non-Muslims are blocked from holding certain jobs or positions in politics.

"Like other religious minorities in Iran, Jews face certain restrictions, including limitations on holding some senior government or military positions. "

This is apartheid. But you don't want to address that. Why?

You are attempting to broaden the definition of Apartheid.

the prohibition of mixed marriages, banning a specific racial or ethnic group from access to certain meetings and unions, and the restriction of movement, prohibiting access to certain public spaces.

You are claiming that banning Jews from certain government jobs is Apartheid. It is not, because they still have access to those government services. Like their Congress, their Constitution actually guarantees a seat for Persian Jews, guaranteed representation. But as my previously linked article documents, Israel primarily practices Apartheid through the control of movement, through land.

so, just to clarify your position, you don't feel that limiting what jobs certain groups are allowed to have based on ethnicity is NOT apartheid?

"

: racial segregation
specifically : a former policy of segregation and political, social, and economic discrimination against the non-white majority in the Republic of South Africa
Note: The extreme racial segregation of apartheid lasted from 1948 to 1994 and included such restrictions as where people of certain races (see race entry 1 sense 1a) could live or own land, what jobs they could hold, and who could and couldn't participate in government."
