a hopeful socialist@specked why won't the abolitionists support my apartheid state? So confusing! Show me the leftists that are literally saying "oh yeah I full heartedly endorse Hamas and their stated islamist ideology" oh wait they aren't. At worst, they're demonstrating a poor understanding of #InternationalRelations and downplaying their actions. Its still fair to acknowledge these actions exist in response to an ongoing campaign of oppression for which Israel is responsible for.
@specked "However, the accusation is becoming fact. First, the nation-state law elevates Jews above fellow citizens who are Arab – Muslim, Druze, Bedouin and Christian."
Bruh this article literally makes my point for me did you even read it
Ramesh #NotGoingBack>> This article literally makes my point for me did you even read it?
It starts by juxtaposing #Israel & #SouthAfrica with "power grabbing, fascism & racism – the destruction of democracy"
Dude, did you know that #Hamas is not only a #terrorist organization supported by #Iran's #AxisOfResistance, it is also the de-facto fascist government of #Gaza where it forcefully grabbed power from #Fatah after a brutal 2007 civil war, destroying democracy?
For someone who calls himself an "expert" on #apartheid and claims to have covered 25 yrs of that as a #journalist, the article is shockingly superficial.
Apartheid in #SouthAfrica did not start with 1948 #Nats victory. Remember #Gandhi being thrown out of a train in 1893 ➡️ https://www.sahistory.org.za/dated-event/mk-gandhi-forcibly-removed-whites-only-train-carriage
The #Jewish expert ignores ~100+ years of recent #Arab-#Palestinian history and focus on last 5 years of #Israeli #FarRight to draw sweeping generalizations.

@specked is correct. Know meaning of #apartheid before hurling it around.
Apartheid in #SouthAfrica was based on #race, something that blacks have no control over
Treatment of #Arabs & #Palestinians in #Israel is based on their #behavior, something they have FULL control over, but propagandists like you try to blame it on others
Arabs had FULL agency when they negotiated freedom with #British during #WWI, but rejected what was offered to them
