And on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day even...

...until 20 years ago, the European Jews and native-born Israelis lived in a de facto segregated state.  Many people believed that had they not had the Arabs as a common enemy, they would have been at each other's throats.

If Israelis can't get along with each other, there's no way they'll ever get along with Arabs.  They treat Arabs as we treated blacks 100 years ago.

When did Barbara Boxer become a Rep ? .....

''Any statement comparing Israel to apartheid  is nonsensical and ridiculous.”

...from the groups with the money - AIPAC or Karl Rove's American Crossroads.

I have two friends from Eritrea and can tell you Israel treats them with kid gloves by comparison . They always say most Americans just don't get it when dealing with Muslims . You are one of the people they are talking about.

I still think that Kerry has shot himself in the foot politically, and of course I never cared for him in the first place, but I can't argue with a single thing you have said in this post, OR the one below this. Go Figure.

Thank you for proving that it is possible to be anti Israel without being anti semitic.

That's the kind of bullshit that drips off of Farrakhan, Abu Abbas, Rev Wrong and the Iranian nut jobs mouths.  

Your hero Obama has been there. Does even his leftist ass call it apartheid????

...what the GOP thumpers tell you because the only reason they give a fuck about Israel is because they NEED there to be an Israel to be a major piece in their jigsaw puzzle of Bible prophecy.  Without Israel there can be no Second Coming and that's all Republicans are interested in.  

Republicans care about the LAND of Israel, not the PEOPLE of Israel who are all going to die in their view because they don't believe in Jesus.

Talk to me when you've been from Rosh Hanikra to Taba and all points in between and actually talked to Israelis and Arabs.  Until then you are just another uninformed moron relying on the GOP to brainwash you.

Do you even read your posts or do you just dive for the send button? Sheez your dumb.  

DS:It's the world! You go to Israel,the blacksare just treated like dogs.

...away from your posts in this thread so people won't see how stupid you are.  Let's recap:

You know nothing about Israel, you don't know what "Semitic" means and you engage in ad hominem attacks while accusing others of doing the very same thing.  Is that about right?  Idjit!

and you also don't know shit about Benghazi .  

They sure as hell don't go in illegally like people from Mexico do here . Maybe you think Israel treats them like dogs because they make them enter legally

And, he agrees with Kerry!  

...who had to be told that the Voter ID law was found constitutional by the SC, who thinks Barbara Boxer is a Republican (ROFLMAO) and who has interviewed every Jew & Arab in Israel! LOL

Kerry backtracked already. So Tooters and Kerry no longer agree.

He may have backed off the word, but not the nature of said conditions.

Israeli officials use the same word or concept?  

The indictment reads that Tzerki, who faces an attempted murder charge, told police who arrested him that he stabbed the baby “because I hate them, they’re black and they make a real mess.”

Unliks Sarah Palin, I REALLY DO READ THE ECONOMIST.

DS: It's the world! You go to Israel,the blacksare just treated like dogs.  

Having a personality that is. The rest of it? well yeah that kind of sums him up. lol

but I will agree with him that Israel is essentially an apartheid state. I don't see us ever cutting ties, or even backing away in the slightest from them because of it. but lets call it like it is. Any other nation would be facing severe sanctions from us if they acted in the same fashion to their own citizens.

Rabin was assassinated in 1995. Then they blew their chances making any kind of deal with the Palestinians after that. Birthrates favor the Palestinians and Israeli Jews will eventually become a minority. Their only route will be the South African model for good or ill.

Kinsley is a Lib and really destroys the Israel apartheid argument in these 3 para:

He now denies even saying it. So if it is true that Israel is an apartheid state why is the Obama admin making him walk back his comments?  

No one would ever dare cite Wikipedia in an academic setting, but then again, TER is HARDLY what anyone would call an academic setting! LMAO. Your lack of knowledge on this subject is breath-taking in lieu of the fact that you have apparently designated yourself the resident expert on the subject. Even the author of the article you cited acknowledges the similarities between the Bantustans in Apartheid South Africa and today's Palestine... though he blaims this state of affairs on the Palestine, themselves. Kindly at least SKIM the points laid out in the link bellow before you comment further on this subject. Thanks.

...He can't face reality so he has to rely on booze as a crutch and to give him liquid courage.

"'that Israel is an apartheid state"? He says: "“A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative. Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second-class citizens — or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state,' Kerry said Friday in remarks originally reported by the Daily Beast."  No where does he say the Israel is an apartheid state.

is a LONG way away from calling it an apartheid state. The author refutes the assertion and does so with fact and logic.
