You're being downvoted because you're not making the argument here. "Read my book" or "Watch my film" isn't an effective answer to the question of why you'd think a state where Jews and Arabs and Europeans have equal rights is an apartheid state.

- nailer 4y agoNo - I have seen people in this thread compare people in Israel to people outside Israel. But the topic is that “Israel is an apartheid state” - and we can obviously compare the rights of Jews and Arabs within Israel. Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/AcEL-NlxBk0 https://youtu.be/AcEL-NlxBk0
- UtopiaPunk 4y agoIt's a complex topic that challenges people's long-held beliefs. I'm under no illusions that a pithy comment on HN is going to change minds. But I hope that if a few people are open to engaging with a serious, long-form presentation on the issue, maybe some people will come away with new ideas. But you're sharing PragerU videos, so it's painfully clear where you side on this issue and that you are unlikely to seriously consider a different perspective. Have a nice day.
- nailer 4y agoNo. If you have a point, make it. > But you're sharing PragerU videos If you had an argument you’d respond to the content of the video rather than the source.
