As the Daily Beast noted, the Rome Statute defined Apartheid as “inhumane acts… committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.”

Former South African deputy president Baleka Mbete and African National Congress leader has said that Israel-Palestine is actually “far worse than Apartheid South Africa.”

>no Israel haters will jump on this quote as an excuse to launch “muh apartheid” attacks on Israel.

Sure…

Why are you all ignoring the fact that Israel is the one who has consistently wanted peace, that Hamas has in it’s charter the destruction of the Jewish state and that PLO is full of holocaust deniers and bigots, including Abu Mazzen who’s PhD thesis was written on how Zionists and Nazi’s colluded to form Israel.

May I quote a Palestinian student who recently returned from a trip to Auschwitz, in the wake of which the Professor who led it was dismissed.

I was born in Jerusalem in an Arab culture that, to put it mildly, ignores the Holocaust and avoids discussing it. As a young girl, I had to overcome social and educational restrictions to learn more about these closed chapters of history. Not only were books on the subject unavailable, but we were told that our responsibility as Palestinians was to memorize only what teachers told us, so as to reinforce our collective memory of loss and grievance and support our national identity and quest for a homeland.

The Naftali Bennet’s of Israel wouldn’t have a leg to stand on if the Muslim Arabs, of all nations, weren’t in general so hateful towards Israel?
The legacy of Al-Husseyni is still with us, every day hateful diatribes against the Jews waft from the TV and radio stations of Israel’s neighbors.
War drums beat their solemn march.
