Label Israel what it is — an apartheid state

Disguised as a legislative reform intended to limit the Supreme Court’s power, it is, in fact, a regime […]

Black South African Woman Nostalgic for Apartheid: Says 28 Years of Black Rule has Been a Dismal Failure

I recently came across a video on Twitter that caught my attention.

American Jews who bought ‘Jewish democracy’ label for apartheid need to wake up

We are all trying to wrap our heads around the political events happening in Israel now, and the speed with which they are happening.  The latest is the transfer of governing authority over the West Bank from the Israeli military to Israeli civilian authorities, most notably headed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the right-winger who […]

‘Israel is an apartheid state,’ but keep the U.S. aid flowing — Rothkopf

The use of the word apartheid to describe Israel’s treatment of Palestinians just keeps growing.

The “demise” of the two state solution has made it untenable not to talk about Israeli […]

ADL’s latest effort to use antisemitism in defense of apartheid

Israeli Apartheid Defenders in Canada Attack Green Leader May

December 10, 2022 By Yves Engler The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs’ recent attack against Elizabeth May is farcical.

How it feels to visit an apartheid country

The racial profiling is rampant before your eyes. I sauntered through Damascus Gate at midnight. The young Palestinian just behind me got stopped by soldiers demanding his i.d. card. Abuse and invective are normal here. Just look at the picture the racist Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir posted of the Palestinian politician Ahmad Tibi wheeling a […]

Chasing a Mirage: How Israel Arab Parties Validate Israeli Apartheid

November 2, 2022 By Ramzy Baroud Regardless of the outcome of the latest Israeli elections, Arab parties will not reap meaningful political benefits, even if they collectively achieve their highest representation ever.
