Context: Israel has seized East Jerusalem and has been building illegal settlements for decades in the West Bank, contrary to international law, and the current regime in that area has been recently recognised as full-fledged apartheid. [1] Meanwhile, Gaza is an open air prison with a million people trapped inside, under the strictest embargo. Since Israel controls its borders, air space and maritime space, it is still considered as an occupied territory.

  In other words, Jews in Israel are "illegal" and "apartheid", so 2,000 rockets fired at them by terrorist groups are justified. You pretend to care about "human rights", but what you're actually doing is demonizing 7 million Jews living in Israel, to justify genocidal violence against them.

    No, illegal settlements outside the proper borders of Israel are illegal, and the situation they create there is one of apartheid. What's hard to understand about this?

      The 2,000 rockets have been fired at Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and other cities at the heart of Israel.
