Concrete Evidence of Israeli Apartheid
While the mainstream U.S. corporate media, along with Zionist-infiltrated alternative media, take great pains to avoid the "A" word (Apartheid) with regards to Israel's racist regime, the facts are there for all to see.
Obviously pro-Israeli media and Zionists do not want the American public to know the true extent of Israel's racist regime. They try to hide the fact that Israel was founded on ethnic cleansing. They try to hide the fact that there are Jews-only bypass roads like the one pictured. These Jews-only bypasses go to Jews-only settlements built on confiscated Palestinian land, and are illegal according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion.
If Palestinians are caught on one of the Jews-only bypass roads, they are subject to being shot and/or beat up. The winding road underneath the bypass road is the original Palestinian road, built before the racist Zionist Jews showed up to take possession of the land from the Palestinians in 1948, when the Unitied League of Nations, made up of European countries and the US took it upon themselves to give away Arab land that was not theirs to give away in the first place to Eastern European Zionist Jews. On the very day Israel was thus immorally created, gangs of Israeli terrorists massacred thousands of Palestinians and drove off 800,000 Palestinians, about half of the population at the time. Israel has refused to allow even one of these original Palestinian refugees back to their ancestral homeland of Palestine-Israel, even though it is their right according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion.
The winding Palestinian road is a dirt road and need of repairs. It lengthens travel time by hours and is difficult to maneuver. Palestinians pay taxes to the Israeli government but receive far less in exchange for their tax dollars than Jewish Israelis do. The Palestinians who live in the West Bank and The Gaza Strip, otherwise known as the Palestinian Territories, and The Occupied Territories, have been living in a stateless limbo, neither granted equal citizenship as Israelis nor granted sovereignty as their own state. This is due to a spineless international community in the face of Zionist-dominated American politics and the resulting ineffectiveness of the UN to enforce its resolutions on racist, anti-democratic, apartheid Israel, which every other country condemns except for the Zionist-dominated United States.
Even inside Israel, inequalities exist between Jews and non-Jews. 92% of the land inside Israel is officially allocated to use by Jews only. This has been official policy since day one of Israel's creation in 1948 and overseen by The Jewish Agency by appointment of the Israeli government. Other inequalities include only allowing Jews to serve in the military and thus receive many financial benefits, the impossibility of running a campaign on anything other than a Jewish supremacist state, special tax benefits for Jews not offered to non-Jews, and many more. Most importantly, the so-called "right to return" is extended to Jews from around the world who have no connection to Israel other than they are Jewish, yet Palestinians who have a living, breathing and dying connection for generations to the land of Palestine, now Israel, are not allowed their right to return although it is indeed their right according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion.
The racist ideology of Zionism which manifests itself in ethnic cleansing is at the root of the problems with the Israel-Palestine conflict. The initial injustice of the creation of Israel must be addressed, and the Palestinians finally must receive equal rights, as in a real democracy, and including the right to return for all the Palestinian refugees. Zionism must be eliminated from modern, civilized society as was Nazism and white supremacism. Israel must be internationally isolated and boycotted until it becomes a true democracy. Zionism must be banished from American politics. Only then will there begin to be more justice and peace throughout the world. True Americans do not want to support a racist, apartheid country. We must ever be vigilent about racism raising its ugly head. Zionism is the racism du jour that has up until now escaped our notice. However , thanks to the information highway of the internet, the house of cards that is Israel and Zionism will surely tumble, as did the Berlin Wall and Apartheid South Africa. Let's do our best to make that happen sooner than later. Every day that passes by, life is progressively worse for the defenseless Palestinian people that have been abandoned by the powers that be in the world. However, we the people, must take our personal power, which is great, and make the difference to pressure our politicians and our media, and all those who seek to control us. We must remember they are there to serve us--- they are "public servants". It is our duty to remind them of this, and we must let them know what we expect. Justice and liberty for everyone and the end to all racism including Zionism.

Personally, I advise everyone to boycott Israel until it is transformed into a true democracy and the Palestinian refugees are allowed their right to return.
Check out http://www.boycottisraeligoods.org and http://www.divest-from-israel-campaign.org.

The internet is an amazing tool and Israel's barberic crimes are being exposed on a daily basis to more and more people. If we all boycott Israeli companies and companies that support Israel, we are sure to make a difference.

Boycott Alert
U.S. companies continue to report receiving requests to engage in activities that further or support the boycott of Israel. U.S. companies may receive similar requests in the future. Compliance with such requests may be prohibited by the Export Administration Regulations and reportable to the Department."

I thought whoever referred to boycotting Israel as illegal was joking.
This is for real from an actual government website. Has this country gone totally mad that there is actually a law on the books that says you *must* do business with Israel. This just goes to show how completely mad our government has gone in being pro-Israel. Just insane.
Windy road for me please.
70´s. 80´s and 90´s. Now my family and friends
are boycotting Israel for the same reasons rasism.
Here is a good site to one of of my favorite writers:
http://www.israelshamir.net
Comments like this drive me even more to STOP Israel. Keep it up and soon you will have alienated even your allies.
Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine and almost every arab country destroyed their Jewish communities and kicked most of their Jews out over the last 50 years. Yet out of 6 million Israelis, almost 20% of Israeli citizens are Muslim.
Yet, you single Israel out for not being a better democracy than it is, yet you intentionally ignore what most arab nations did to their jews. It's ok with you that almost every Jew suffered even if they had nothing to do with Israel or anything?
Try being balanced. Probably hard, I guess, when you are fueled by obsessive-compulsive, dishonest and unhealthy hatred of zionists/Israel, eh?
It happens time and time again, and time and time again they never take a look at themselves and their actions and sincerely ask: "why do people condemn us?" - they only answer they can seem to extract is "they must be anti-semitic" when the real answer is that the actions of the jews are such that they are earning their own criticism.
Did you also complain when your tax dollars funded Saddam Hussein about a decade ago? How about the billions we give to Egypt? How about Saudia Arabia?
How about the money we spent building up Germany after WW2?
How about all the money we spend on the "drug wars," the billions and billions of dollars we spend locking criminals up for doing nothing more than selling marijuana, a PLANT for goodness sakes?
American spends billions on tons of issues, tons of countries, and you single Israel out for not being as nice as you think they should be, while ignoring all the wrongs that others do, quite often with american taxpayer money.
The more money Israel gets, the more right we have to complain about how it's being used.
Israel gets the most money, therefore Israel gets the most criticism.
Don't like the criticism, don't take the money.
It seems most people here enjoy the latter. Oh well.
Too bad I am also a realist, who realizes that this is an impossible dream. Nor would I ever lower myself, and use this argument for one party, while neglecting all the other victims of "ethnic cleansing". When we you people in the left, grow up and stop seeing the world as only black and white, everything is a shade of gray.
Peace never occurred when a third party attempting to remedy all the wrongs of the past. Peace only occurs when both sides are willing to let bygones be bygones. Many people in Israel strongly desire peace and at least Israel was willing to make concessions for peace. Now who hear seriously believes that is the case in the Arab world? Where they regularly burn Israeli flags in the streets, where their "peaceful" terrorists leaders insist on such things as the right to return for refugees. Refugee's of their own creation is merely a pretext for continuing war, albeit an unconventional war.
I believe everyone has an inherent right to their own homeland.
That is why I suggest Israelis be handed twenty two percent of hysterical Palestine, leaving the Palestinians with seventy eight percent of their ancestral Homeland.,
Oh wait, never mind, forgot we were talking about Arabs. No worry then., they aint If the "great" armies of Allah can't drive my cat into the sea. Dont't tell me the bad evil Arabs think that they are actually capable of scaring someone?
It does have
some faults like other nations but overall it is a great place,
so astalavista you antisemites.
You are inaccurate as to the refugee situaiton. Israel has readmitted arabs that left what became Israel. The 800,000 number is matched by about the same number of jewish refugees form arab lands. The diffrence is that the Arab Brothers refuse to allow the Arab refugees to become citizens of thier naitons, but keep them in squalor for political gain. To the credit of Jordan, jews are denited citizenship and were expelled in 1921
In Lebenon Palis refugees can not own propertey, obtian jobs, or even improve thier homes as Arab brothers guard the camps to keep even building supplies out.
Why don't you go do two things: one, read up on all Nazi atrocities and two, get your intifada facts from sources that don't trumpet the narrative you related here. Godspeed.
it seems that Israel's trying to whistle while it pisses, as one wag once put it (right before advising against).
the mind boggling thing is watching america trying to accomplish it writ large.... 100k dead in iraq and counting, are our 3 thousand dead avenged yet?
not to digress, it leads to an interesting question: when will Israel feel like the holocaust has been "avenged"?

Why did your objects of support start and perpetuate a genocidal campaign of violence that has prompted a badass-military oppression by the attacked civilian-democratic state? The Israeli reaction has given them, and you, terrific excuses to don a cloak of victimhood as you (in the plural) distort the actual picture.

When will you and your objects of admiration feel that your "dispossession" has been sufficiently avenged?
