Discussion about Israel and Palestine

And I got banned from meta.stackexchange.com.

Either way discussing this sounds like wishful thinking, and a moot point. Israeli officials will never treat Palestinians as equals to Israelis. It's not much of a slander to say "why does Mark Zuckerberg not end world hunger right now?"

The red lines are actual walls, to keep Palestinians out of Israeli land.

Well, great then! :)

I'm not really familiar with this writer but sounds like he could have been Tucker Carlson's great grandfather.

The area demarcated by the gray dotted line in that map is the West Bank, which is part of the state of Palestine, according to international law. So a lot of the walls are built inside Palestinian land: Palestinians are forcibly segregated from their occupiers inside their territory. That's maybe the most blatant part of the apartheid.

I think the word apartheid is not inappropriate: Israel forces them to live apart from Israelis in many places.

@CowperKettle By law, Israel is a Jewish state. So that makes many things difficult for non-Jews, who are mostly Palestinians.

@CowperKettle Quick big-picture question: if you were informed that there were some Islamic fundamentalist groups being trained among Uyghurs, would you condone, then, what the Chinese government is doing now to the Uyghurs en mass?

"It should be a matter of principle: if Jews born in Brooklyn have a right to a state in Palestine, then Palestinians born in Jerusalem have a right to a state in Palestine. Anyone who doesn't agree with that principle, I think, is suspect."
