(35,961 posts)I've got some time now, so let's get you sorted out on yr misuse of the term apartheid. It's a social policy. It's applied to societies, not to anything and anyone who doesn't meet the criteria for membership of a group in the UN. Stop me and ask questions if any of this starts to confuse you, okay?
Apartheid as a term was invented to describe the government of South Africa's policy of racial segregation in order for a minority group to dominate over the majority of South Africans. They did this by enacting laws that separated people based on race and there was also economic and social discrimination. It was very similar to the segregation in some US states not all that many decades back. But to claim a country is a victim of apartheid because you hate the UN with the fury of a thousand burning haemmoroids? Nah, that doesn't work. But if you seriously believe that any slight you see aimed towards Israel is based on race, then that would mean that there's no criticism of Israel that you wouldn't view as being bigoted against Jews...
Ah, back to trying to circumvent a jury locking you out of a thread by kickstarting it in another thread? How many different threads are you going to pop up in doing this? For the record, I did nothing of the sort. If anyone wants to see what I actually said (which was that revolting stuff broadbrushing Palestinian parents as cowardly, articles titled 'Palestinians Kill Their Kids', and using dehumanising language that has been used in the past in lead ups to genocide is extremely bigoted and ugly) they can go to yr transparency page and travel to the thread you got locked out of.
Also, where did I accuse you of being a bigot? If yr going to make accusations then at least come through with something to back it up when called on it...
