That's why I have been boycotting Israeli products for decades.

Israel is an apartheid state, accidentally they were the last supportetrs of South Africa too.

Humanity was never first for many … their greed was unfortunately

[chocola]

It's a Dutch word and we haven't changed as much as one would hope.

I was brought up in APARTHEiD South Africa and i can tell you that ISRAELI APARTHEiD is WORSE

I agree with your synopsis as I visited SA in 1987 as a young Black American and witnessed first hand the forced segregation, including in the European churches. Israel and SA were very close allies when it came to weapons trade and social engineering tactics

On their focung land, in their own country. This in unimaginable.. That's like someone coming into your house, taking over your living room, kitchen, And bedroomcm, leaving only the toilet for you to live in.

Thank you for clarifying the meaning of apartheid

[KryCaNe]

Wait till you find out about Apartheid South Africa’s relationship and close ties with Israel starting from the thirties.

I could listen to that voice all day long ❤

[nimmichagger]

No wonder Israel was apartheid South Africa’s biggest supporter and ally.

I learned this term at school and if you think its only for races its there for ethnicity and religious beliefs and many more topics. Apartheid in this century is a shame for humanity.

Zionists: "yeah but there are no LGBT rights in Gaza " 😅

[shaynelahmed]

Thanks for your clear presentation and explanation. Yup. Israel is guilty of apartheid, and thanj god there are international laws criminalising it.

[strangestuff]

It Means Free Palestine from Colonial Nazi's

[HiggsBoson]

Which middle eastern country is NOT an apartheid?

[MKhan-uvkt]

Well explained! ❤❤❤❤ May Allah bless the Palestinians and those fighting for justice for the Palestinians 🤲🏼

So they both started in 1948...
Israel's version is far worse though.
South Africa never rationed calories to the bare minimum, let alone launch attacks every single year...

The U.S. did that to the immigrant Chinese in history too. They had been put working on building the railroad in CA and other parts of the U.S. They don't allow Chinese to live anywhere but next to the prison building. The U.S. doesn't allow them to bring in their wife and children to the U.S. for 100 years. Then eventually where they lived becomes China Town. Chinese had been mistreated for decades. Chinese had been murdered and injustice and lawless treatment from America 100 years ago.

When people will do smuggling, drugs dealing, weapons trade, and terrorism any country will do the same
