I wish Palestinians would not use the word Apartheid. It's not right and it doesn't help their cause.

- Simulacra 3y agoAs long as I've been alive, the only thing I know about the Palestinians is that they use violence to achieve their means. That's enough for me not to support them.
- matthewfelgate 3y agoAnd Israel don't use violence..?
- jagrsw 3y agoViolence during uprisings is often targeted at military structures and is generally not classified as terrorism under international law or ethics. This is obviously not a case in the discussed topic. Blanket condemnation oversimplifies a complex issue.
- throw310822 3y agoIt's not Palestinians who do. It's the major human rights organisations: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and in Israel, B'Tselem: https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/isra https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/isra... https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels- https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-... https://www.btselem.org/topic/apartheid https://www.btselem.org/topic/apartheid But I am afraid this will fail to convince you. With Israel, I am often reminded of that old joke about the car driver claiming that everyone on the motorway is driving the wrong way.
