The state of Israel is apartheid

Israel is the only country that, on one hand, follows the policies of a racist apartheid regime but enjoys unconditional support from all Western states. This is the reason why Israel shows the audacity to present itself as “the only democracy in the Middle East.” However, the truth is far from it.

Every year, Israel occupies more territories that should be under the Palestinian Authority (PA). The only ruling authority here is Israel and therefore it is both committing the crime of occupying and driving the Palestinians out of their lands and homes while at the same time, allowing illegal settlers to move in. The 2018 Nation-State Law, passed by the Israeli parliament, is the clearest proof that this illegal settlement policy is supported by the state. Indeed, thanks to this very law, Israel has proved that its laws are also the laws of the apartheid state.

At a very young age, the names West Bank, Ramallah, Gaza were memorized on TV news. And there was never any good news with these names. There were words like bombs, bullets, evictions, demolitions. And there were numbers. So many killed, so many injured. Every day, every week, every year. When I got a chance to read the subject when I was a little older, I saw that the matter is very simple. With the help of a group of thugs, a group of thugs created a terrorist, land-eating state. And they are regularly killing people from another country, evicting them from their homes in fear, and occupying their country. And if you stop them from doing this, they will cry. Now on the stage of our international debate or in the news media (especially in the western media), they are trying to convince people by twisting the main story with “Nuance”. In that story, the gangster state is the victim. Hamas is getting worse. I mean, Israel was comfortable with itself, Hamas suddenly went to tap on hobbies.

Listen, we have no idea what people can do if their backs are against the wall. I am surprised that Hamas is not doing anything worse. Whatever Palestine has endured for the last 70 years, it would have disappeared if any state, any country, any nation had endured, or Hamas would have done what it did, or something worse than that. So keep the “Narrative” or “Yasser Arafat” type narrative in your pocket, not outside. Whatever Hamas does today, for better or worse, the rogue and apartheid state must take responsibility for everything.

Break the silence

Lastly, let me tell you about the final disappointment. I- What do you think, what do I say on this issue, it doesn’t matter to that rogue state. Netanyahu is a post-Truth World Hitler. He buys the truth.

As a matter of fact, at the beginning of the latest Gaza attack, Israel had tried to force the Arabs out of their homes in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. When the residents protested, Israel attacked civilians worshiping at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, killing 21 people, including nine children. As of today, 217 people, including 63 children and 34 women, were killed by Israeli forces after Gaza finally responded with rockets.

Just like the famous saying: “Take my water, destroy my house, take my job, steal my land, throw my father in jail, kill my mother, bomb my country, starve us all, humiliate us all, but still I’m guilty, why: because I responded with a rocket.”

In a 213-page report “A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution,” the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch (HRW), one of the world’s most respected non-governmental organizations, identified Israel as an “apartheid state.”
