The current meme is not apartheid, but China or Syria or Egypt or Lebanon or Jordan or any place else that doesn't have to directly implicate what Israel is: an apartheid state.

Once you get past those layers of the onion then there's the shrill anti-Semitic arguments, that Israel somehow is deserving of the land that the current West Bank occupies, jazz about chosen people, common deflections, uncommon deflections, poor comparisons, and then later there come the direct denials and smoke and mirrors.

Once there you magically find yourself back outside the onion to start all over again.

So you see, there is really no argument. There is only an onion.
