What's really curious is that you leapt from a discussion of the Holocaust to racist policies of the former South African government.
- encryptluks2 4y agoIsrael is an apartheid state. Sorry if you want to deny the truth.
- woodruffw 4y agoIsrael was founded after the Holocaust, and has nothing to do with either the deaths in the Holocaust or the article under discussion. Conflating Jews with a state that doesn't necessarily represent them doesn't signal honest behavior on your part about your beliefs.
- rendall 4y agoMeh. People who throw that word around aren't principled. Take the time to step such a person through why apartheid is an inappropriate term to describe whatever going on in Israel, and they'll just move the goalposts around.

- tialaramex 4y agoThe reference to "apartheid state" is to Israel. The State of Israel is in practice an apartheid state - specifically it treats citizens differently depending on whether they're Jews or not. Inside Israel, as I understand it, this is not a controversial observation, simply one side sees apartheid as a desirable situation and the other does not. Which we might observe is exactly how it was in South Africa...
