I think you need to look up what the definition of an Apartheid state is. Israeli Arabs have equal rights in Isarel and even serve in the government. While many Arabs won't serve, Druze Arabs in particular have been judges, and generals in the army.
The country is also constantly under attack by ruthless terorrists who intentionally target civilians, women and children. They've murdered thousands. They've even murdered babies sleeping in cribs. Israel by contrast has gone to great lengths too avoid civilian casualities. Why do you only call on Israel to show even more restraint than they already do? And where iis your condemnation for the terrorists.
You want to see an apartheid state? Look to the Arab word where if a Jew or a gay person, or in some cases, even a woman not dressed to their standards, will be murdered. There is no place in Israel where an Arab can't go in Israel.
As a person of the Jewish faith who had relatives who perished in the Holocaust, I found your statements to be deeply offensive. I do not support Bibi, but the crimes he has been accused of are minor in comparison to Trump, and aren't even in the same stratosphere as the Nazii's. Shame on you comparing him people who committed genocide. What do you even know about Israel. How much time have you spent there?
I'd say killing 11 million people, 6 million of them Jews, is a lot more than "he killed some people." Not surprised. It's clear you are part of the new MAGA party. This is the best Trump's supporters have to offer?
How is Bibi a criminal deseving of prison for the rest of his life? He's been accused of typical political behavior - trading favors and such. Nothing to that degree. And by the way Ariel Sharon was pretty hated as well. I'm not clear why you like him but not Bibi.
But my bigger concern is that leaders in the GOP can make these ridiculous statements about Jews and everyone else is silent. Where is the condemnation? Even you won't say that is wrong. That would never have been the case 5 or 6 years ago. She would have been booted from the party.
Oh my, Where to start? How you equated Bibi with Hitler is beyond me - it is beyond offensive. Hiter carried out the systematic murder of 6,000,000 innocent Jews. Literal genocide. All Bibi has done is try to protect Israel which is under constant attack by terrorists, targetting civilians. Is he perfect? No. Is he guilty of any crimes or corruptions like many politicians? Quite possibly. He's most often been compared to Trump actually.
Also, your characterization of Omar Assad is completely off base. He was arrested during an anti-terrorist opp when he refused to provide his identification and became combative with the arresting soldiers. He was not beaten or injured in any way. And all those arrested were released within only 30 minutes! But, he had a congenital heart defect and died of a heart attack! Before you claim this was not true, these were the findings of the autopsy conducted by the Palestinians. Even though there was no way the Israeli soldiers could have known this, and even though they did not commit any violence against him, they were still punished by the IDF. How does that compare to suicide bombers blowing up innocent women and children and other terrorist attacks which is what these soldiers were trying to stop. Ironically, I've never seen you condmend the American police when they stop an African American who ends up shot dead, which is far worse. Did George Floyd deserve to die for passing a $20 counterfeit bill? That's not nearly as bad as being a terrorist. So more hypocrisy.
Lastly, you failed to acknowledge my question. Do you condemn the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green and her anti-semitism? Or only when it comes from the left?
The Squad are anti-semites, true, but as a Jew, I have to point out that you are ignoring the growing anti-semtism on the right. From rallys of Trump supporters where they chant "Jews will not replace us," to actual GOP politicians saying crazy things like it is the Jews who are starting all the forest fires with our secret Jewish space lasers. You do a disservice by ignoring this and I hope you will condemn it.
It is downright terrifying. Far more than the progressive left which was always ignored and sidelined by the rest of the Democrats, who luckily are still pro-Israel. And Biden has been a surpsingly staunch ally and supporter of Israel.
I don't deny that no president has ever been as supportive of Israel as Trump was. But he was also quick to throw away that relationship and curse out Bibi, for merely doing his duty as the leader of Israel, by calling Biden to congratulate him on his fair and legal win.
