Apartheid, Humanitarians and Israel: A photo album

 

Last month, the Labour Party of the UK announced that Israel is an "Apartheid state" (here). This is no surprise because England's Labour Party supports human rights (here).

It's true: there is a direct connection between supporting human rights, being a Humanitarian and demonizing Israel. Labour understands this connection if you don't.

Labour understands what it means to oppose racism and oppression. After all, that's what Humanitarianism is all about, right?

Ask the United Nations. The United Nations is the Temple of Humanitarianism. It dedicates itself to saving lives, fighting racism and alleviating suffering. That's exactly what Labour wants. It probably sings the Humanitarianism anthem, whatever that is. 

Apparently, Humanitarians believe that, to save all from racism and oppression, Israel must be demonized, at the very least. 

The UN sits at the top of the Humanitarian pyramid. It leads the way to a utopia called, 'world peace'. It works in its own way to save the world--and it has determined (through resolution after resolution) that Israel is perhaps the major road block for anyone seeking to save us. 

We know this is how the UN feels about Israel because the UN has condemned Israel for supposed rights violations more than any other country in the world--more than China, North Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia combined. 

Think about Israel from a Humanitarian point of view. What can the world do with such a supposed "rights" violator? The answer is simple. The world must fight to stamp out this
Great Satan of rights violations. It's the only way to peace.

That's why Labour calls Israel Apartheid. It's why there is an Apartheid Week all across the West, set up annually to demonize the world's only Jewish state under the name of Humanitarianism. Hating Israel is the world's most popular armchair sport.

The Humanitarian's complaint seems to be this: you Jews are G-d's chosen? How can Jews be G-d's Chosen when the one state Jews create is so racist and so oppressive with its Apartheid ways?

Based upon its use, it appears that "Apartheid" must be the dirtiest word in the world. You know that's true because so many Humanitarians use it to demonize Israel so often. 

Humanitarianism and anti-Israelism are connected, to use a phrase, at the hip. One doesn't move without the other. They both obsess over "Israel-is-Apartheid!"

Here's a question: have you ever seen a picture of Israel's Apartheid? For example, have you ever seen in Israel a picture of a road sign that says, in essence, "Road splits ahead: Jewish drivers stay to the right; Non-Jewish drivers stay to the left"?

No, you have never seen such a picture about Israel. Yes, those signs could be "Apartheid", depending upon the context of that sign. But they do not exist in Israel. 

As you will see in a moment, they do exist in the Arab world. 

Suggestion: before you think about calling Israel an "Apartheid state", perhaps it would be wise first to look at a picture album I have collected. I call it my "Israel-is-Apartheid" album. It illustrates what Israel thinks about "Apartheid" as a state policy (I originally published some of these pictures  here, in February, 2016, and others here, in October, 2014).    

But before you look at the album, consider some random thoughts about Apartheid. Most important, do you actually know what Apartheid looks like? 

Apartheid is a state-mandated public policy that is designed to keep a specific population trapped. With state-issued Apartheid rules, a state can make it nearly impossible for that targeted population to contribute to or participate in [its] society. 

The targeted population is excluded. It is locked out. It is trapped.

Put another way, Apartheid means institutionalized discrimination. Apartheid requires that an identified population is, by law, sealed off from adequate medical care, professional careers, the right to vote, the right to serve in important positions and the right to receive a decent education.

It means few if any from that targeted population can pursue careers in a country's mainstream  economic life. It often means none can become lawyers. It means no army service in a country's mainstream military. It means separate classes in separate-but-inferior schools, it means separated into very unequal hospitals. It means separate seating on buses and trains. 

According to those who call Israel 'Apartheid', the excluded class in Israel is the Arab. The Jew-hate industry (the Humanitarians among us) claim Arabs under Israeli law are crushed. They are excluded. They are humiliated. They are locked out of good jobs. They are forbidden from holding significant public offices. Arabs, Israel's enemies say, suffer terribly in Israel as second-class, disenfranchised citizens.

In an Apartheid state, individuals in the excluded class have no way to become judges in mainstream courts. They have no way to become Professors in mainstream universities. They have no way to serve as national diplomats. They have no way to become famous researchers or heads of major mainstream hospitals. they are all trapped in poverty and ignorance with no way out or up. 

Keep these restrictions in mind when you thumb through this "Israel Apartheid album". This album will show you exactly how Israel really treats its Arabs.

The shocking truth about Apartheid in the Middle East is that it is not an Israeli problem. It's an Arab problem. 

Wherever possible, Arabs discriminate against Jews. They create laws to lock out or harm Jews. But worse than that (for the world's 'Humanitarians' who so hate Jews they will ignore humanitarian outrages against Arabs in order to demonize Jews), wherever possible, it is Arabs--not Jews--who use racist laws to discriminate against 'Palestinians'. In some Arab countries 'Palestinians' are treated the way South Africa once treated blacks: Palestinians cannot vote, cannot get quality jobs, cannot live in proper housing, cannot get equal medical care and cannot enter the economy's main stream.

The picture album above highlights what apartheid looks like in Arab countries which, unlike Israel, offer no similar opportunities to match what Israel offers to Palestinians. Nevertheless, Humanitarians everywhere today determine that the fictitious and slanderous accusation of "Apartheid" in Israel must be opposed. Israel itself must be opposed because of these supposed humanitarian sins. The supposed Israeli Apartheid must end, Israel's enemies say. 

But what about the real Apartheid against Arabs in Muslim countries? That is ok? It can continue uncondemned?

Yes, it can continue. It can be ignored.

To understand the nature of Humanitarian Israel-hate, answer two questions: (1) name two other nations you have seen universally demonized by Humanitarians as "Apartheid"; and (2) name another democracy you have seen so universally condemned by the UN as "Apartheid".

You cannot. 

The face of today's Humanitarianism is a face of lies, slander, Jew-hate and hypocrisy.

Humanitarians deliberately ignore the real  Apartheid in the Middle East--committed by Arabs against Arabs. They have time only for hating and demonizing Israel. But while Humanitarians seek to harm the Jewish state, they do nothing to solve real racist policies--in Arab countries, in Iran, China, North Korea and in more than a dozen African and Muslim countries.

For all their fancy talk about freedom, human rights and alleviating suffering, Humanitarians simply do not care to see real justice in this world. They work instead to slander G-d's Chosen. They obsess over this slander. They can't heap  enough of it onto Israel. The result is, Humanitarians leave hundreds of millions of oppressed, poor people to suffer from the effects of dictatorship and religious oppression.

  

Today's Humanitarianism isn't about love, peace or  justice. Instead, it seem mostly to be about a kind of hate one can only call, Jew-hate.

 In Israel, Palestinian Arabs have more rights and opportunities than found in any Arab country. In Israel, Palestinians find the only democracy in the Middle East. In Israel, Palestinians live with freedoms found nowhere in the Arab world. For this, Israel is demonized?

When is Apartheid week for Lebanon? When is the Apartheid Week for Jordan? Will you hypocritical, lying Humanitarians ever start to speak out against the real Apartheid?
