Immediately after taking power in 1933, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party — commonly known as the Nazi Party — began a program called “Aryanization” to strip Jews of their rights. The intent was to make Germany an...
The occupied lands are not under dispute. They belong to Palestine but Israel occupies them. Looks like they plan on annexing them as soon as they can get the Palestinians out
A free speech battle is playing out on college campuses, as students, professors and others advocating for Palestinian rights across the United States are fa...
Newname, since you clearly support the Palestinian cause, can you please explain what Israel is supposed to do in this situation? Also, what do you propose to do to have peace in the Middle East? I always like to hear opinions from both sides.
End the occupation, the oppression, the genocide. Give back all the land and homes stolen from non Jews. Pay back the God knows how many tens of billions of $$ extorted from the US taxpayer by the "Lobby". One state with everyone having the same rights. Reparations to the Palestinians
Israel argues that since they took the land from belligerents in War that by international law allows them to hold Area C. I am not arguing whether this is correct, but the area is under dispute. Many current issues would have been avoided if the Arabs had not consistently lost Wars and ceded terrority. Some liberal Jews lament keeping the terroritory won in Wars.
The lands taken in 1967 were in a war in which Israel attacked Syria, Egypt, and Jordan and gobbled up land and began moving Jews onto the land in a matter of days. This is 100% illegal under international law. It is illegal to take land via war.
Really saddened as a palestinian and regular poster to see that most people on this website support Israeli apartheid.
That’s crazy. Really sad to see everyone in America live on land taken from American Indians by pioneers. Thousands of native Americans were slaughtered and kids killed in religious boarding schools. But it ain’t my problem! And the Middle East sure ain’t my problem to get fed up about! Not rooting for Islamic terrorists that’s for sure.
Please give the details on where and when these thousands of slaughters occur?
I am trying figure out how Israel is an apartheid state. Is it possible that the my defintion of apartheid is misguided?
Arab Israelis (Palestinian citizens of Israel) are free to vote, stand for election, sit in the Israeli Government, serve in the military, work in the police force, etc. Gaza and West Bank Palestinians are not Israeli and don't live in Israel.
Recently, an Arab party was part of an Israeli ruling coalition.
My guess is that the apartheid claims come from a disputed terroritory.
In Area C, which is controlled by Israel, there is a situation that could be compared to apartheid because it is two populations living under different sets of laws for each. But that is not part of Israel, it’s territory under dispute.

There is already one state with everyone having the same rights -- Jew, Christian, Muslim, Druze, Baha'i -- men and women -- LGB and straight -- transgender and cisgender.
That's Israel. No other state in the Middle East can claim a fraction of that.
There are those who absolutely reject the right of Israel to exist, and devote their existence to wiping it out, from the river to the sea.
That's Hamas, the PA, and all their subjects who dance in the streets when those terrorist organizations mass-murder Jews.
That they're also Muslim supremacists who oppress women and throw LGBT people off buildings should not be a surprise.
