MODERATORS
This is what you sound like right now:
You understand South African Apartheid was a system of minority rule?
When it's like Israel, a system of majority rule, we call it democracy.
Do you not understand that, or appreciate what that means? When the minority enacts positive law upon an unconsenting majority it is a violation of human rights. When the majority enacts positive law with popular consent--and not by the whim of some caliphate or immamate or monarch--its the peak of human achievement.
That double standard you're applying is why so many people consider it anti semitic to call Israel is an apartheid state.
I think that if you click through and read the primary sources from Wikipedia, or if you do even a modicum of a review of the scholarly work on this, you will find that usually people making this argument are saying that Israel has some discriminatory laws which are like Apartheid. Obviously, some people (you) go further and say Israel is literally an apartheid state. And some people also say the earth is flat.
E: Bold part is exactly what happens below....
Oh yeah, what about this then?
Or this? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/7/26/south-africa-calls-for-israels-proscription-as-apartheid-state
I think what I will do is quote bits of it for you every day until you realize.
I think the most pathetic part is that those are opinions of experts on this and they seem to overwhemlingly believe Israel is an apartheid state. But you keep comparig it to a group of idiot flat earthers. Making that connection in your head is probably to protect from shame/guilt.
Whenever it's Israel, your brain seems to shut off.
By your logic, is south Africa being anti semitic?
Yes they are. It's rote hypocrisy.
I think you don't recognize what sort of things are facts and what sort of things are opinions.
How far did you go in school?
Read the dude's quote that you quoted.
It "resembles apartheid."
It's not apartheid though.
So when South Africa says Israel is an apartheid state, they're just expressing an anti-Semitic opinion? Not based on any evidence? And all people who overwhelmingly agree are just also anti-Semitic? Can't you see how this just makes Israel above criticism so it can continue its genocidal landgrabbing?
Bud, I'm sorry to say that you have been tricked™.
You're delusional. Listen to how you speak in absolutes and put words in my mouth.
Hmmm do you know more about Apartheid than South Africa?
Yes.
Great, at least you’re an honest ~~idiot~~ genocide denier.
And this?
How will you run away from this one?
Oh gee how will I "run away" from an opinion piece in Qatari state media. If you're just pretending to be a fool you are doing very well.
Do you not see how dumb that was to say given it was NOT an opinion piece?
and how about running away from this one?
@JustZ@lemmy.world sorry, no response on this yet??? Is this also an "opinion piece" from "Qatari run state media"? Or is this just another piece of reality that you want to ignore?
I have lots more btw. You don't like the NYT? no problem, I got the same piece of news from a lot more outlets spread over many dates.
Youre not smart enough for these conversations at least not with me. I have tried to block you.
Any success in blocking me, bud?
Maybe you finally realized my life is worth just as much as your own? Do I detect a smidge of empathy?
You have tried to block me?
Did you try going to my account from the web interface and clicking "Block User" shown in the top right? Otherwise, tell me what app you're using and I can google a method for you.
