The ‘Apartheid Israel’ lies.
Obviously that claim cannot be further from the truth.
In most of the western world and under International law, Apartheid reflects the the actions taken by the regime that used to rule in South Africa.
Apartheid has some very obvious caricatures.
Such as minority, or even majority of the population which denied access to many places in society.
They are restricted from voting, restricted from social services, confirmed to certain areas, not receiving same quality medical care, transportation restriction, and so on.
NONE of the above, nor many more caricatures of apartheid happened in Israel.
Where else in the Middle East dose it happened? Simple, in EVERY other country. Jordan, Egypt. Lebanon, Syria…you name it.
Yet for some rezone the Palatines lies are been told all around the world, all in the name of de-credit Israel….
Let’s see what DOSE take place in Israel,
Israeli minority, are the ONLY ones in the Middle East that enjoy true and free society. They use public transportation at will, enjoy social services, vote, pay and claim retirement benefits, have same indications papers as others, take active part in Israeli politics, even take part in the Israeli cabinet. There are many that took offices through -out the years. They can speak their mind in public; Israeli minority’s some time use the Israeli ‘cenesset’ to flat-out bully the very same state they are representing. And no one in Israel ever questions their right to speak their mind.
Arab Israeli’s also take an active part in the justice department, Israel is proud to be the home for some of the best Arab layers. Many of which are appointed judges. In fact it was an Arab Israeli judge that sentences the former Israeli, Jewish, President for prison time, just a short year ago.
Israel is also home for many Arab doctors. For some rezone the Arab traditions make then to be very good as care givers. In fact it was an Arab medical professor that saved, and stabilized the former Israeli prime-minister, as the prim-minister suffered a severe stroke. It was an Arab Israeli EMT inventor that came up with a device to stop severe blood lost; only 8 month before that device was used to simply save the life of Gabrielle Giffords,an Arizona Senator.
Anyone that visits ANY Israeli high education center will immediately notice many Arab students.
All of Israel citizen can, and are choosing where to build their houses, and they can all apply to do so at any part of the country, in fact many Israeli cities pride themselves for been home for many diverse parts of the Israeli population. No integrations needed, it comes naturally for everyone.
Every citizen of Israel can choose an occupation, and how to provide for its family. There’s no job restriction. Fact is many Israeli minorities’ serves as a vital part of Israel’s armed forces, many in the intelligent collecting agency. In fact the higher ever ranking Israeli officer to lose his life in the Gaza strip was not even Jew. Since Israel is the homeland of the Jewish peoples, none Jewish resident are exempt from serving in the military forces. That gives them a great advantage, us they are not required to sped 3 years or more protecting the same country that provide for all their needs. However many volunteer to do so. In fact many of the most talented Israeli soldiers are not even Jew. Some parts of the Israeli defense forces run sully by non-Jewish warriors. In fact some of the most crowded military graveyards happen to be in Israeli minority villages. The ones that volunteer to join the defense forces are doing so with great pride, and are role models for the entire platoon. When they gets home for a weekend rest they are been treated as the heads of the family’s. This is a great legacy.
All of Israel resident can and are using public transportation. No exceptions. Israel pride itself to have some of the most modern and efficient public transportations service worldwide. Those services reach every single part of the country; include places that are home for none Jewish population. In fact much of the transportation in Israel run very well uses professional Arab Israeli drivers. They are some of the best drivers to be found.
And the list goes on and on, there’s not even one apartheid character that take place in Israel.
So, how come the Palestinian get away with convincing the world of ‘apartheid Israel’?
Simply, they tell the world, that the Palestinians reserve the same rights from Israel as anyone else in the free world.
Problem is, since the Oslo agreement took place in 1993, the Palestinians choose to separate from the very state of Israel. Which vacant their claims.
Under the Oslo agreement, which is the law of the land in Israel, the Palestinian populations are governed under the, now very corrupted & bankrupted, Palestinian authority, In Zone A’s. they have control over their own destination, they have their own governmental institutes, they take care of their own building permits, provide for healthcare, retirements, city’s services, education, and even security needs. Yes they even have their own police, paid for by the Israeli, American and many other tax payers. Under the Oslo agreement Israel provide water, electricity, monitory needs, food, building materials, fuel, and so on.
When a Palestinian needs to go out of Zone A they are free to do so. Only one rule applies, again under the Oslo agreement: ‘don’t kill anyone before you come back’, should be a very simple rule to follow. Under the Oslo agreement Israel reserve the right to defend itself. And doing so by using a very effective chain of intelligent gathering, and check points. And you know what, it worked! Unlike the time leading to the Oslo agreement, in today world, it is very unlikely for a Palestinian to be able to go through a check point, reach the Israeli mainland and comets an act of terror. It dose happened from time to time, but for the most part, the above system works very well. Fact is, in places where recent history showed a lower risk, Israeli defense forces are limiting their present. This tactic came back to bite Israel in the behinds more than a few times, but the Israeli Gov. is very good in doing its best to ease the inconvenience over the Palestinian populations, whenever it can be done, without risking a blowouts bus or a loss of life. Israel is very careful to only restrict parts of the Palestinian populations that showed to have a higher risk on been involved in terrorist attacks.
But wait, Israel build this massive wall, all around, separating Israel mainland from the Palestinians villages. That must be an act of apartheid. Fact is, Israel was FOUCED to build that wall, and will take it down, as soon as it will not be needed to protect its citizens from terrorists. Before the assembly of that protection wall, more than 30,000 Israeli lost their life or was injured in terrorist attacks originated west of the wall. Fact is that wall work very well, since the building of that wall, not even one civilian life was lost. Not one. It worked perfect.
Under the Oslo agreement, there are Zone’s B’s. In which the Palestinians still control their own life, and Israel responsible for the security needs. In zone’s B Populations that showed great restraint, enjoy civil life to the best. In villages that showcased terrorist attacked, are subject to military presents. Like residents of zone A, zone B residents do not carry blue Israeli ID certificate. Rezone is, they are NOT Israeli’s. They carry an amber ID certificate. That allows them to enter Israel main land at will, subject to risk assessment by intelligent gathering. Kind of like, or actually EXCACTLY like, the ‘no fly list’ provided by the TSA.
There are also roads and other way of transportations, in which Palestinians are restricted from use. But by now we can all guess why. If they ever stop blowing busses up, or using specific HWY to target Israeli’s, or to execute terror, they will be allowed back in. some places restricted from using public transportation, well the song is the same, simply stop blowing those busses up, and you will be allowed, when it comes to the public transportation in Israel, Palestinians, and simply not a citizen of Israel, so no apartheid there. They simply don’t pay into the system.
And the list goes on and on, it’s actually have a very distinguish phase, every single time that the Palestinians are claiming apartheid, one can easily see how the apartheid effect originated in act taken by the Palestine authority’s. And is in their hand to make it disappear. All Israel will do, is protect its citizen from harm ways.
Fact is, that in all of the Middle East, Israel is the last place anyone can shut apartheid state. Israel takes great pride in providing one of the best democracy governed system mankind could ever come up with, and doing so for its entire resident’s.
