Cocaine Heart 4,768 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 South African Jewish anti-apartheid stalwart Denis Goldberg believes the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the use of separate laws for different groups of people makes Israel an apartheid state. "There is no doubt in my mind that Israel is an apartheid state," Goldberg, who fought alongside late South African President Nelson Mandela and other activists against apartheid, told a gathering in Johannesburg. "It's simple: the dominant group excludes the indigenous people from their equal rights within the borders of Israel itself and in the occupied territories, in breach of international law," he said. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/africa/20070-veteran-south-african-activist-denis-goldberg-israel-an-apartheid-state We going to boo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTHUNTER 7,611 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Israel is doing the same thing to Palestinians than what Germany did to the Jewish. History repeats and this time victims became predators. Not sorry for this statement, the whole issue is scandalous. Edit : I have nothing against religion, sorry if my original comment sounded extremely harsh, it wasn't the purpose. I'm sorry if I offended any of you.

The Child 18,997 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The Israel/Palestine situation is so much more complicated than apartheid or what the Nazis did to the Jews. But to sum it up, we should blame the UK, they promised Palestinians a state and they also promised a state for the Jews. As soon as they gave the two of them the same state they just went like "okay bye now this is your problem, solve it as you want" which is really hypocrite and immature from the UK. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really blame Israel though, it's the UK's fault but what makes me blame it is that the Palestinian population is suffering and they did not ask for it. Seing Palestinian children dying for things they didn't do and being deprived from a future really disgusts me and I don't accept that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This society is full of double standards You can say whatever you want about anybody except the Jews, they are not the only people who went through and suffered from a genocide. Black people suffered during centuries from slavery, which is basically a genocide. Natives were also killed by White people in the USA, which is one of the biggest genocides along with the Black slavery genocide. Armenian people also went through a genocide because the Turks killed them. I could go on & on as this shitty humanity keeps on killing other people for shitty reasons but why we always put the Jews on a pedestal? We should treat everybody the same way. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're totally right and I agree with you, but I should have worded my opinion in a much better way or not have posted it at all. I agree with you that we should all respect each other and treat everyone equally. I generated a shitstorm oh god... I've suffered from discrimination as well, despite being white. I know what these minorities go through, it's in my own history as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say bs though, you're not tragic, we tend to let our feelings speak instead of ourselves, like for example you let your anger speak and that's a good thing, I didn't even see the problem with the way you worded your post anyway.

No no it's perfectly fine, we all have flaws, you have to make a mistake in order to learn from it. It's normal that in a situation like this you let your anger take over, it's a situation that maybe touches you a lot. Anyway, don't be insecure, we're not perfect and we live with it, it's life! ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
