every time I prove you are wrong you talk about few token but its not couple of tokens it billion of them
and like I said we can not soak more Muslims or it won't be Jewish state anymore I am sorry.
But we will have to stay here with what we got right now.
There is apartheid in Israel there was an occupied terrority which was occupied before hand to Egypt which is Gaza.
and West Bank which is the problematic area right now.
West Bank isn't part of Israel and we are trying to take the settlers out of there.
Those who live within Israel have full rights and citizenship those who lived outside no and won't get it.
if you call it apartheid you fail to understand how serious this accustion is and furthermore you failed to understand what appartheid is.
And btw I already discussed all these things in the thread if you want to understand more read the thread don't join in middle of the conversion and start trolling.
Thank you.

The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes against humanity "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime."
I didn't see all those instances of institutionalize discrimination listed before so I wanted to put then in some consolidated area. Above this post I posted the definition of apartheid and what is occurring in Israel is indeed that, no matter how many times you say "but it really doesn't feel like that here". And I'm not saying that Israeli apartheid is the same as South African apartheid....firstly because South Africa eventually gave up apartheid, and secondly South Africa stopped being a rogue state and joined the rest of the world by forsaking nuclear weapons and signing the NNPT. Israeli apartheid is indeed more nefarious than South African because it is in the guise of being temporary when you and I clearly know that it isn't.
Israel has every right to exist even if is just by the virtue of their strength, but they need to wise up and quite expanding borders. 1967 borders is a good start...and get in line with all the human rights abuses.
And don't act like the Palestinians haven't lived there for many many years, regardless of who technically owned the land. You and I both know that the only reason Israel exists is because of colonialism and the British Mandate for Palestine.
And nice ad hominem at the end there, but I've been here for awhile I don't need posting advice.
