8 Reasons Why Israel Apartheid Week Is Ridiculous

The international Israeli Apartheid Week hate-fests are really hard to comprehend if you have the smallest iota of knowledge, the tiniest bit of a brain with which to think. These ignorant individuals certainly do not read Israellycool often enough.

My list of real photos and posts would fill a book, but my top 8 no-brainers to refute the claims are:

  1. An Arab Supreme Court Judge oversaw the last Israeli election.
  2. Deputy Regional Cooperation Minister Ayoub Kara is on his way to Geneva to represent Israel in talks and Regional Cooperation Ministry Director General Hashem Hussein will accompany him.
  3. The Knesset has over 10% Arab members and a Muslim prayer room.

4. President Rivlin, with the Israeli Minister of Finance and Minister of Social Equality, holds joint meetings with the Arab Regional and Local Authority Heads at Beit Hanassi.

5. Islamic Judges, Qadis, administer Sharia law in official Israeli courts under the Israeli court system. New judges were recently sworn in at Beit Hanassi.

6. Arab women and girls have more freedom in Israel than anywhere else in Middle East. Where else would a girl wearing hijab sit in a park gazebo giggling, alone with a guy having a picnic lunch? Sorry no photo from today though it was such a cute scene.

7. President Rivlin hosted an Iftar meal to break the fast during Ramadan.

8. Various religious leaders lined up along a red carpet up to great the President of Kenya on his official state visit to Jerusalem, Israel.

The apartheid lie is simply ridiculous.

  1. There is a much easier response to the “apartheid” slur. Unless you are using your personal definition, “apartheid” is already defined by international consensus in the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid of 1973. Article II specifies that one “racial group of persons” is guilty of apartheid if it commits defined “inhuman acts” on another “racial group of persons” for the purpose of domination and oppression.
    So, before anything else, you need to answer the question of whether Jews constitute a “racial group of persons” – and we know what types of people last made such an argument. For good measure, you can also point out that the main Arab objection to Israel as a nation-state for the Jewish people is their view that Jews are not a people at all but a religious group.
    In other words, whatever Israel may or may not be doing, it simply cannot be “apartheid” as understood by the international community. To claim otherwise is to insult the victims of actual apartheid and trivialize their suffering under the real thing.

    1. Thank you. Of course there are more illustrations of doctors and hospitals and universities, fully integrated, but with this movement, what does truth have to do with it?

  2. I think these people confuse the separation in force, for very good reason in the WB, with Israel itself inside the Green Line.

    1. I think those that support this Apartheid Week, just plain do not want there to be an Israel, anywhere, inside or outside Green Line.
