To the people who couldn't or wouldn't recognize what was plain in front of their face, that the rogue state has always been about colonizing all of Palestine, and denied it, that's over - the Knesset just voted officially, no need to continue the deceptions, to annex the West Bank. You know, without Hamas, without the excuse of October 7, simply filled with victims of rogue state violence, putting the lie to the Hamas excuse.

Israeli Parliament Votes for Making Apartheid Official. Fetterman: “I Haven’t Been Following It.”

Sen. John Fetterman didn’t follow the Israel Parliament vote to annex the West Bank. Other Democrats interviewed condemned the move.

Strictly speaking, apartheid is an Afrikaans word that describes the racial segregation policies of the former government of South Africa.

In the more general sense, Israel is an apartheid state. Has been since the British partition of 1947.

There are one million plus Arabs that are Israeli citizens with the same rights as it's Jewish citizens.

Except when it comes to the former, their rights seem to be in a state of constant violation these days, with very little being done about it.

The fact that it's being discussed at all is worrying.
How would you feel if there was a discussion about nuking the US in the UK parliament even if it was non-binding?

Arab Israelis hold seats in the Israeli Knesset.

Actually it is and that's why the ICJ and all of the international HRs groups have made that call.

While the racial discrimination in Israel is only slight in comparison to Gaza and the West Bank, it's still a system of racial discrimination in Israel and Greater Israel.

But not the same access and privileges. Those are based on lineage/ancestry.
 

No it's not.

There are over a million Arabs that are Israeli citizens with the same rights as the Jewish citizens.

Israeli Arabs hold seats in the Israeli Knesset.

Only the uninformed/misinformed call Israel apartheid state.
 
It’s really easy to look it up and see that it’s second class citizen status. All about maintaining the permanent Jewish majority democracy.

Yes it is and only people who can't see past the numbers in the Knesset for their proof are the uninformed/misinformed.

Do you think all of the international and respected HRs organizations would put their weight behind the claim if it wasn't true?

Read the case that was made instead of relying on Knesset numbers to caress your preferred view?

You don't even know the difference between semantics and semitic/semites.

Nobody will take you seriously and they would be wise not to imo.
