@Finn dAbuzz,
Ignorant of what? Try to figure it out, but I doubt you can; you're too dense.

@cicerone imposter,
Repartee with you is like boxing a man without arms. I keep forgetting how reliably infantile your response are. I won't forget going forward.

Here is a discussion of the claim that Israel is practicing "apartheid" against Palestinian Arabs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_the_apartheid_analogy

The analogy is flawed. Apartheid was the law in South Africa. Israeli law gives
it's Arab citizens the same rights its Jewish citizens have.


One thing is apartheid, which is an Afrikaans word meaning "a policy or practice of separating or segregating groups," and "the condition of being separated from others; segregation." Another thing is Apartheid, "The official policy of racial segregation formerly practiced in the Republic of South Africa, involving political, legal, and economic discrimination against nonwhites." While Israel doesn’t have an official policy that it calls “Apartheid,” it does practice “apartheid” in Israel and the Occupied Territories that for all intents and purposes are a part of Israel, seeing as how Israel refuses to give up control of those territories to the point of rendering a two state solution to its conflict with the Palestinian peoples impossible and instead sees Israel concentrating the Palestinian populations there into increasingly circumscribed areas. In the early 2000s Israel commissioned an inquiry, the Or Commission, after the start of the Second Intifada and found that the state systematically discriminated against the Arab populations in Israel. The reforms that the commission recommended were never implemented.

@Finn dAbuzz,
No, that was "the question." I'm used to you rewriting the history of a conversation to suit your own ends, though.

@InfraBlue,
Joe can't live with the truth, so he has to give you a thumb's down. Ignorant children who can't live with the truth has to play children's games. He still hasn't provided any evidence to prove his side of the argument. The best he can do is give you a thumb's down.

Your dislike of me seems to be interfering with your reading comprehension:

So anyone who visits the US more than once is qualified to pass judgment on us??


This what I wrote, and as you should be able to see it was not "do people who have visited the US pass judgment on us?" it was: Are they qualified to?
