No, the situation of Arabs in Israel is in no way comparable to that of blacks in South Africa calling it 'Apartheid' remains absurd. Numerous differences starting with the right to vote and ending with equal health care in the same medical facilities.
So this 'apartheid denier', to use your stupid phrase, will not shut up.
Jew only roads and jew only communities is apartheid, you ******* idiot!
Israelis (Jews, and other citizens) remain on one side of the Security Barrier.
Palestinian (mostly Muslim-Arabs) - non-citizens - remain on the other side of the Security Barrier.
It's not Apartheid.
It's a fencing-off of the mad-dog Palestinians.
The same sort of
holding-the-Palestinians-at-arm's-length that the Egyptians and Jordanians do.
Nobody wants a rabid dog in one's home, or near one's children, and the years have made them clearly insane, collectively, as they have experienced one setback or reversal after another; mostly self-inflicted, and even some Arab-inflicted.
The Israelis keep those maniacs in a metaphorical straight jacket; the mad dog is kept on a very short leash.
That's not apartheid.
That's common sense, and an understandable reaction on the part of a nation (Israel) formerly beset by waves of suicide bombings and presently by regular rocket barrages.
If a road is wholly within an Israeli-controlled zone, then, of course it's going to be an Israeli-only road, and that's not apartheid - that's geography.
If a road is a conduit between Israeli and Palestinian -controlled zones then the Israelis have a right as the dominant party to devise and enforce travel restrictions in accordance with the needs of its own citizenry.
If a road is a conduit between Palestinian -controlled zones, passing through an Israeli -controlled zone, then, the Israelis have a right to devise and enforce travel restrictions for the traffic passing through its own territory, in accordance with the needs of its own citizenry.
And that doesn't even begin to touch upon road-closures where the closure is in-effect for Jews, Muslims and Christians alike - closed to everybody - without prior approval from the Israeli authorities - as is the case here - closed to
everybody.
None of that has anything to do with Apartheid, nor even an apartheid -like range of behaviors and policies.
It's all about the security of the Israeli People.
One need look no further than to examine the range of security measures and policies and tactics
prior to the Intifadas versus those which sprang into effect or have evolved
after the Intifadas, on order to understand that this is all about Security, and not about Apartheid, nor anything even remotely similarly-motivated.
And all the spin-doctoring in the world on the part of the Palestinians and their fifth-columnists and fellow-travelers cannot change that glaringly obvious conclusion.
The Palestinians are now paying the price of Intifada I and II.
Wasn't worth it in the end, was it, idiots?
But none of that matters, to pro-Palestinian propaganda parrots who will use any opportunity or segue - no matter how threadbare and inappropriate and inaccurate - to squawk-out more parrot chirpings about Israeli Bad Guys and Palestinian Good Guys.
Bahhhhh... humbug.
