It seems that every few months, some media outlet, anti-Israel organization or politician declares that Israel is an Apartheid state. Do a google search for "Israel is Apartheid!" The results are instructive: almost all of the top 20 search results are the same: UN report: Israel has established an Apartheid regime...Is Israel an Apartheid state? UN report says yes...Israel is an Apartheid state...Neil Macdonald: Israel is an Apartheid state...It's time to admit it. Israel's policy is what it is--Apartheid (These results from Google are dated November 9, 2017, 0955 ET)
Seth Frantzman of the Jerusalem Post puts it succinctly when he says, "Want to see the [Apartheid] cliché up front? Just visit Haaretz’s website and type in “apartheid state” or “Israeli apartheid ” and there’s hundreds of results" ("Terra incognita: Israel’s self-fulfilling ‘apartheid’ analogy”, jerusalempost, July 17, 2017). A simple Google search proves him correct.
The Israel-is-Apartheid claim is a lie. It's manufactured and re-manufactured over-and-over again each year by people who hate Israel. Those who hate even claim that this Jew-hate is necessary because of the need for human rights, justice and freedom.
Human Rights, justice and freedom have never come out of hate. What comes out of hate is oppression, injustice and enslavement. This was true 100 years ago. It remains true today.
The most aggressive advocate for this hatred of the Jewish state may well be the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. This fake 'movement' for freedom, justice and equality for 'Palestinians' (BDS Homepage, What is BDS, retrieved November 9, 2017) may tell you that its goal is to challenge " international support for Israeli Apartheid and settler-colonialism" (Homepage, What is BDS, bdsmovement, retrieved November 9, 2017). But that mission statement is fakery. The real goal of BDS is very different--to delegitimize Israel sufficiently in order to destroy Israel (see below).
You can see this goal in action whenever BDS sponsors its annual 'Apartheid Week'. This 'let's hate Israel' feast of fakery is a week-long series of anti-Israeli lectures, programs and propaganda that BDS puts on in February or March, in perhaps 50 locations in more than a dozen countries. This 'Apartheid Week' doesn't seek peace. It seeks to incite against Israel. It doesn't promote love-thy-neighbor, cooperation or equality. It promotes hatred and intolerance (Patrick Mascoe, "The agenda behind Israel Apartheid Week", moment, March 5, 2013).
Take a look at a video made by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks about this BDS movement. Watch how he explains BDS' real mission in, "Rabbi Sacks on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign" (dated February 27, 2017). The video is 6:03 long.
If you want to see how, in practice, bds actually lies about the world's only Jewish state, you'll need to see more than a six minute video. Another 5,000 words might do the trick, but you may not have time to read such an analysis. Perhaps you should look instead at 5 pictures--you know, because every picture is worth at least 1,000 words, right?
The pictures below are self-explanatory. They come from Judean People's Front, "Pro-Israel Posters: Arab Israelis 'heart' Israel", israellycool, November 9, 2017.
Take a look :
Who's telling the truth about Israel--the BDS propaganda machine, or the Israeli-Arabs who live and work in Israel?
Decades to "apartheid" slur by pro-Nazi, A. Shukeiri (Shukairy)
ReplyDelete{6 years before 1967 war and 41 years before security anti terror defense barrier}
Ahmad al-Shuqairy, ash-Shuqayri, Shukeiri, Shukeiry , Shukairi, Shukairy:
* At WW2, he and his friends used to pray for Hitler's victories and for the defeat of Britain. (His own admission).
* Escaped in the 1940's with his associate Al-husseini, mufti of Jerusalem, Hitler's ally.
* He "had suggested that Palestinian and Libya's ulama' invite Mussolini to adopt a policy of non-cooperation with zionists and to treat them as the nazis were doing." (Arab source)
* Was a Nazis apologist.
* A (1965) report, tells of him leaving the Russians, switching over to Hitler's side, to support Hitler's anti Jewish war.
* 1946: Before the partition and almost 2 years before the modern State of Israel was established, he spoke about "race." About a decade later he said Jews are not a race nor a nation.
* End of 1940s, "compared Israel's economic planning for Jerusalem with Hitler's planning for a Nazi ruled Europe".
* In 1952 compared plight of living Arab refugees to millions perished in WW2.
* October, 1960 compared Israel to nazis, adopting holocaust denier' Issa Nakhleh's epithets (who initiated vilifying falsely racialized lingo in June 17, 1949).
* Invented the "apartheid" slur in Oct. 1961 at his UN diatribe (UN's 16th session). He also -at the same speech- objected to Eichmann being tried in Israel. It was on October 17, 1961.
Almost 6 years before the six-day war which some call it an "occupation". Some 41 years before the security barrier anti terror defense erected in Israel. He used the then momentum in U.N. against South Africa. So he just compared it to S.A. So he just compared it to S.A. That meme he uttered after already branding Israel with Nazi label, then he "dropped" "levels down." At the same speech of "apartheid" comparison, he objected to Eichmann being tried in Israel. Then again later on he jumped up levels and said: "nastier than Fascism, uglier than Nazism." (Which its roots are in Holocaust-denier Issa Nakhleh's wording in June-17-1949, who by Nov-14-1972 said Hitler did "not" kill Jews).
That and much like this, is of his legacy of wild labels-slapping, since enshrined in PLO charter.
* In Dec. 6, 1961, he denied there was any anti Semitism in the world claiming zionists "created" it. At the time he also questioned a Catholic member's loyalty stating he's Jewish. He also argued he's not Anti Semite because he's Semitic himself...
* In Nov. 30, 1962 praised, saluted infamous nazi gang Tacuara, some 5 months after (on 21 June 1962) they brutally attacked, carved swastikas on a 19 year old student as a "revenge" for eliminating Eichmann. He was fired by Saudi Arabia from UN post shortly after, over this. Apparently this was too much even for them to handle.
* Dec.1962: Just before being fired from UN over saluting Nazi gang, he led an attack to pin Nazism label on Zionism.
* Called to annihilate Jews in Israel, 1967: 'a war of extermination in which not a man, woman, or child should be spared,' observing: "none of them will survive." (After Arabs' defeated war, he complained why he is singled out since this was Arab outlook as a whole).
