In the 21st century, anti-Zionism means anti-Semitism

It's also banned in Israel but Franky doesn't want to talk about that.
They're nasty pieces of work but I don't see them on Canada's terrorist designations. Could it be that despite their racism, they haven't bombed busses or shot up restaurants? They also won 1 seat out of 120 so are hardly representative of Israeli society. Meanwhile there are 14 Arabs Israelis in the government, many of them in the governing coalition.
Hamas is on that list though in addition to their racist extremism they still engage in, promote, and celebrate terrorism (and they still have support of 36% of Palestinians). For example, they or a group they control in Gaza just fired another war crime rocket towards an Israeli city.
Amnesty also accuses Hamas of terrorist acts but you go to great lengths to pretend it's not true, make excuses for them, and justify their targeting of civilians. Why is an extremely fringe racist Jewish party so evil but the mainstream racist groups like Hamas are okay in your mind?
Otzma Yehudit is a Kahanist party, a descendant of Kach. They were voted in and are part of the ruling government. The Israeli government is as terrorist as Hamas.
Hamas is now elected as government, and unless you change your terms you've said governments can't commit terrorism. Me, I think the term 'terrorism' is used instead of racist terms as a way to demonize people you hate. But if you're going to use it to label acts of violence targeting civilians and exclude 'state terrorism' you have to exclude Hamas which is now government. Or you include Hamas and then you have to include the government of Israel for targeting civilians in Gaza and the West Bank as well as supporting terrorist settler attacks and roving gangs of terrorists in the 'flag march'. Your choice. They are both about the same to me, only Israel is also illegally occupying Palestine, actively settling and stealing their land and ruling the native population through apartheid for more war crimes. Otherwise they are similar except that Israel has better weapons and kills more people. Both are racist, commit war crimes and use acts that can be defined as 'terrorism'. Just one side does it about 10 times more.
Amnesty?
I back their reports and fully support taking Hamas and Israel to the ICC over all allegations.
For you to say anything else and attribute it to me is outright lying.
Which you keep doing.
Take them all to the ICC.
End apartheid,.
End the occupation.
Bring in equal rights and the vote for all living there.
You're losing more support.

LWF Council statement insists on international human rights instruments
And not a terrorist organization according to Canada no matter how desperately you want to create some false equivalency.
The PA is descendant of several designated terrorist groups. Should we call the PA terrorists?
And holy shit did you rapidly undermine your own argument. First, you condemn Israel because some fringe party got elected to one seat then pretend Hamas getting elected means that they can't be terrorists. And if you condemn Israel because 1% of the population voted for a racist (non-terrorist) group, what does that say about the 44% who voted for the racist terrorists in Hamas?
You also might have missed that any mandate Hamas might have had in their legislature ended with their coup in Gaza against the also elected Fatah president and even if it didn't, their mandate would have ended more than a decade ago. Also worth noting is the UN (which you often use as a source) doesn't recognize Hamas as legitimate.
Canada says Hamas is a terrorist organization BECAUSE THEY ENGAGE IN TERRORISM. Same for PFLP, PIJ, and a branch of Fatah. Canada considers Kach a terrorist group and so does Israel. If only the PA would start treating Hamas etc as terrorists.
You are the one fixated on terrorism but you can't even define it because you'd have to admit Israel commits terrorism.
Kind of like you keep defending Israel but you can't even say where its borders lie.
Also like you say you are against settlements but then when Palestinians protest those illegal settlements you always side with the settlers.
Israeli settlers, forces attack protesting Palestinians
Dozens of Palestinians taking part in anti-occupation protests after Friday prayers were injured in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus
No, I'm saying your definition of terrorism means you accept terrorism by Israelis and condemn Palestinians for lesser acts.
Same for the government, if Israel elects terrorists then you defend it, as you are doing here.
Your use of the term terrorism is a form of apartheid, its based on race as a way of justifying settler colonialism.
Israel engages in even more TERRORISM, see the Great March of Return.
But then you also think Defence for Children International is a terrorist organization. Because they reported Israeli terrorism to the ICC.
This whole terrorism argument of yours is a disaster.
Its just an attack based on racism in order to demonize a people you don't think merit basic human rights so you can defend stealing their land and ruling them through apartheid.
Me, I say bring in the ICC, charge both sides.
End apartheid.
You're losing more support.

The monstrous origins and effects of ‘Israeli Apartheid Week’
(June 20, 2022 / JNS) Every year in the Diaspora, anti-Israel activists on university campuses worldwide unite to host “Israeli Apartheid Week.” This event does not promote any productive—let alone constructive—solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Instead, it fosters a hardline, absolutist approach that creates a hostile environment for Jewish and Israeli students.
This approach is promoted quite effectively by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which is at the forefront of “Israeli Apartheid Week.” A self-proclaimed “movement for freedom and equality,” BDS purports to be modelled on the measures taken against apartheid South Africa in the late 20th century. But behind the façade of a “just” social cause that seeks political change, the movement is, in fact, deeply rooted in anti-Semitism.
Over the last century, one way in which anti-Semitism has manifested itself is through boycotts of “Jewish goods” and “Zionist goods”—which in practice have been more or less the same thing. Indeed, the “Don’t Buy” stickers plastered on Israeli products in the Diaspora are disturbingly reminiscent of Nazi Germany’s “Don’t buy from Jews” slogan. This was the basis of the German parliament’s decision in 2019 to pass legislation denouncing BDS as reminiscent of the most “terrible chapter in German history.” Alongside the Nazis’ boycotts in Europe were those undertaken in the Arab world. In 1933, the Palestinians’ Arab Executive committee, headed by Nazi collaborator Haj Amin al-Husseini, declared and enforced boycotts of Jews in what was then British Mandatory Palestine. In December 1945, the Arab League organized the Arab Economic Boycott of Jewish goods and industries—couched, of course, in the language of “anti-Zionism.”
In this context, it is entirely reasonable to ask whether BDS is simply another manifestation of the long tradition of anti-Semitic boycotts.
Indeed, the very act of singling out Israel as the “perpetrator of the world’s worst iniquities,” as historian Simon Schama put it, to the extent that a week every academic year is dedicated to highlighting Israel’s alleged illegitimacy, does tend to make one’s moral compass—if one has a moral compass at all—appear highly questionable.
Pro-Palestinian groups on campus have exacerbated this issue by inviting anti-Israel speakers who regularly engage in the most vicious hate speech imaginable. This year, for example, King’s College London’s Palestine Society—along with 19 other Palestine Societies nationwide— hosted the leader of the BDS movement, Omar Barghouti. Barghouti, despite having studied at Tel Aviv University, has accused Israel of “apartheid,” “ethnic cleansing” and “Nazi practices.”
In another case, 21 Palestine Societies co-hosted Mohammad El-Kurd at an “Israeli Apartheid Week” event. El-Kurd has compared Israelis to Nazis, negated the historic Jewish connection to the Land of Israel and vilified Jews. He has also used his social media platforms to spew gross and inflammatory statements, many of which employ traditional anti-Semitic rhetoric. Notably, El-Kurd evoked the blood libel in May 2021, tweeting that Zionists have an “unquenchable thirst for Palestinian blood” and that Zionism is “bloodthirsty.” He has also employed Holocaust inversion, stating that Israel is guilty of “lynching,” “Kristallnachting” and “gassing” Palestinians.
It goes without saying that the presence of this kind of rhetoric and activism creates a hostile environment for Jewish and Israeli students on campus, the vast majority of whom consider the Jewish state an important part of their cultural, ethnic and religious identity. Worse still, this environment is tolerated by the universities themselves, who appear unconcerned about the safety and security of their own students. But more than anything else, the zero-sum approach to the conflict advocated by events like “Israeli Apartheid Week” makes constructive dialogue, and thus peace, impossible.

Israel and apartheid: Lessons from the South African experience
From the perspective of a South African, the Israeli state shares the same characteristics of colonialism as South Africa—the systematic dehumanization of the indigenous people for the benefit of an economically advanced settler population.

Explicitly targeting civilians for a political/nationalistic goal. Pretty much the consensus definition.
That is why Canada declared Hamas a terrorist group. Same for PIJ, PFLP, ect. Why are you incapable of admitting it?
It's pretty funny the way you keep trying to defend Hamas even though they stand in opposition to everything you claim to stand for simply because they share your desire to eliminate Israel.
Again, 44% of Palestinians voted for racist terrorists in Hamas. Most of the rest voted for groups like Fatah that share roots with racist terrorist groups but you try to smear Israel because maybe 1% voted for a racist political party.
Franky, terb's human rights advocate who justifies attacks on civilians if they are Jews in places Palestinians want.
Israeli acts fit your definition of terrorism.
The Israeli use of snipers on Palestinian civilians in the Great March of Return is what you define as 'terrorism'.
For one year on every Friday Palestinians held protests and Israeli snipers shot civilian protesters.
That is 'explicitly targeting civilians for a political/nationalistic goal', or 'terrorism' as you call it.
One year on from the start of the Great March of Return protests in Gaza , thousands of civilians continue to suffer the devastating consequences of Israel’s ruthless tactics without accountability, Amnesty International said today. At least 195 Palestinians were killed, including 41 children and 28,939 injured by Israeli forces in the context of the protests between 30 March 2018 until 22 March 2019, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Amnesty International is calling on Israel not to resort to excessive use of force during demonstrations on Saturday 30 March 2019, marking the anniversary of the protests that called for Israel to lift its illegal blockade on Gaza and to allow Palestinian refugees to return to land they were displaced from more than 70 years ago.
By the end of 2018 more than 6,000 Palestinians in Gaza were injured by live ammunition at protest sites and at least 122 – including 21 children – had limbs amputated as a result of their wounds, according to a report published in March by the UN commission of inquiry, which was set up to look into the abuses committed in the context of the protests.
“The shocking scale and horrific nature of the debilitating injuries inflicted by Israeli forces on Palestinian protesters in Gaza last year suggests Israel pursued a deliberate strategy to maim civilians,” said Saleh Higazi, Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director for Amnesty International.
“Many of those shot by Israeli forces are suffering life-changing injuries with profound physical and psychological scars for years to come. These devastating injuries, and the ongoing shooting of protesters, highlight the urgent need for a worldwide arms embargo to be imposed on Israel.”
The commission of inquiry’s report echoed Amnesty International’s own findings that many killings by Israeli forces of Palestinians during the protests violated international humanitarian law. It “found reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli security forces killed and maimed Palestinian demonstrators who did not pose an imminent threat of death or serious injury to others when they were shot” – including children, paramedics, journalists and persons with disabilities.
The report highlighted how 80% of the 6,106 injuries caused by live ammunition were to the lower limbs and that more people lost limbs as a result of injuries sustained during the Great March of Return protests than during the entire 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict. Doctors in Gaza had told Amnesty International that many of the serious injuries they had witnessed were typical of war wounds.
According to military experts and forensic pathologists who reviewed photographs of injuries obtained by Amnesty International, many of the wounds observed by doctors in Gaza were consistent with those caused by high-velocity military weapons, including Israeli-manufactured Tavor rifles and US-manufactured M24 Remington sniper rifles that shoot 7.62mm hunting ammunition, which expand and mushroom inside the body.
Black South Africans do not buy into the anti-Jewish pro terrorist movement who use the Palestinian people to hate Jews.
A group of pro-Israel South Africans has invoked the figure of the late Nelson Mandela, the iconic leader of their country’s anti-apartheid struggle, in a forthright condemnation of the recent UN Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry (COI) report that blamed Israel’s “perpetual occupation” for the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians.
In a statement issued this week by the South African Friends of Israel (SAFI), a collection of church and community leaders argued that Mandela — South Africa’s first post-apartheid president — would have rejected the report’s findings.

In a statement issued this week by the South African Friends of Israel (SAFI), a collection of church and community leaders argued that Mandela — South Africa’s first post-apartheid president — would have rejected the report’s findings.
‘We sincerely doubt that our first democratically elected president, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, would approve of a situation where the antisemitism of Hamas was put on the same moral standing as the righteous fight of black people against the white supremacy of apartheid,” the statement declared.
Signatories to the statement included Nosipho Dladla of the God’s Throne of Grace church, Klaas Mokgmole of the Africans for Peace advocacy group and Mosala Nyawusa of the Clive Mashishi Foundation.
The statement pointed out that “Mandela never sought to eliminate white people from the land of South Africa. Rather, he preached reconciliation, which earned him the love and respect of even his jailer on Robben Island. We ask this UN COI to consider the harm that allowing the apartheid label to be applied to Israel does to the legacy of anti-apartheid stalwarts like Madiba [Mandela’s honorific name], who wanted all South Africans to live in peace.”
Mandela made his feelings on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict clear during a 1993 speech. “As a movement we recognize the legitimacy of Palestinian nationalism just as we recognize the legitimacy of Zionism as a Jewish nationalism. We insist on the right of the state of Israel to exist within secure borders but with equal vigor support the Palestinian right to national self-determination,” Mandela said at the time, expressing sentiments at odds with many of his colleagues in the ruling African National Congress (ANC) who endorsed the analogy between Israel and the apartheid regime.
Last year, a billboard campaign sponsored by SAFI in Johannesburg featured a photo of Mandela alongside his quote, “We insist on the right of the State of Israel to exist.”
The statement additionally attacked the comparison between Israel and the white minority regime. “As South Africans, we know what apartheid is, we lived through it and its legacy continues to blight our society to this day,” it said. “Through this evil regime, black people were denied equal access to government services; citizenship rights; property ownership, equal rights and participation in the democratic process. To claim that this is the current status of Arab Israelis is to deliberately distort reality. The truth is that Arabs in Israel hold positions of power in the judiciary, parliament, and military and are even members of the governing coalition.”
The UN report, which the letter was in response to, was led by Navi Pillay, formerly a South African judge and United Nations human rights chief. It claimed that “what has become a situation of perpetual occupation was cited by Palestinian and Israeli stakeholders to the Commission as the one common issue that constitutes the underlying root cause of recurrent tensions, instability and protraction of conflict in both the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.”
The Israeli government issued a full-scale rejection of the report, dismissing it as a “biased and one-sided report tainted with hatred for the State of Israel and based on a long series of previous one-sided and biased reports, [which] disregards years of murderous terrorism by Palestinian terrorist organizations against Israeli citizens, as well as the Palestinians’ long-standing obstinacy and the vicious and antisemitic incitement carried out by the Palestinian Authority and its networks.”

Unlike the condition of blacks in apartheid South Africa, Arabs have equal rights to Jews in Israel. They have the right to vote, to free speech, to freedom of religion, have the right both to own, and to buy and sell property, have the right to equal medical care and education, and enjoy equality before the law All these are guaranteed by the Israeli state. Arabs sit in the Knesset, serve on the Supreme Court, go abroad as ambassadors. The chairman of the largest bank in Israel, Bank Leumi, is an Arab. Jews and Arabs attend the same universities, work in the same factories and offices, are treated in the same hospitals by both Jewish and Arab doctors and nurses. They play on the same sports teams – an Arab is the captain of Israel’s national soccer team – and in the same orchestras. Arabs and Jews go into business together – everything from restaurants to high tech start-ups. There is only one difference in their treatment: Jews must, while Arabs may, serve in the military. Israel also has Sharia law for Muslim that deals with family and domestic issues Where is the apartheid in any of this?
Wow.
There were 5 of them?
I had no idea you could find that many.
Desmond Tutu to Haaretz: This Is My Plea to the People of Israel
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu wrote an exclusive article for Haaretz in 2014, in which he called for a global boycott of Israel and urged Israelis and Palestinians to look beyond their leaders for a sustainable solution to the crisis in the Holy Land
You should try to give peace a chance and work towards lessening racism instead of supporting apartheid.
Bullshit.
Sad that instead of admitting Hamas, PFLP, PIJ, etc. are terrorist groups that intentionally target civilians for racist reasons, you try to pretend Israel is.
But if Canada ever takes Hamas etc. off their terrorist list and puts Israel on it, we may have a conversation.
Why do you refuse to admit that these people are Arabs and they overwhelmingly see themselves as Israeli?
On the other hand, Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, or locked in camps in other Arab states don't want to be Israeli no matter how much you want to force them.
Of course you will never admit either of those because the first absolutely refutes the claims of Apartheid (at least with the actual definition) and the second undermines your whole stance on the conflict.
Did you read that part as well or is this just another case where you avoid even implied criticisms of Palestinian leadership?
The solution Tutu was talking about involves Israeli and Palestinian people sitting together and finding common ground. Unfortunately Hamas arrests people in Gaza that try to do that and in the West Bank get condemned for 'normalizing'.

the pro terrorist anti-semitic lobby (who called themselves pro-palestinian) using an art show to incite anti-jewish sentiments
(June 22, 2022 / JNS) Anti-Semitic images at a leading art festival in Germany are being removed or covered up after German Jewish organizations and the Israeli embassy in Berlin came together to denounce a biased curation.
The images appeared at Documenta 15, a leading arts festival that takes place every five years in the German city of Kassel. The Jewish groups and top German officials, including Germany’s anti-Semitism commissioner at the federal level, Felix Klein, had stated that Jew-hatred on display is indisputable and inexcusable.
“Elements being portrayed in certain exhibits are reminiscent of propaganda used by [chief propagandist of the Nazi Party Joseph] Goebbels and his goons during darker times in German history,” said Shira Ben Tzion, spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in Berlin, in a tweet. “All red lines have not only been crossed; they have been shattered.”
The curation of Documenta was outsourced to an Indonesian group named Ruangrupa. Its support of the BDS movement, which Germany officially considers an anti-Semitic movement, was reflected in the choices of artwork on display, such as the Picasso-inspired “Guernica Gaza,” which parallels the actions of the IDF in Gaza with Nazi Germany’s air raid on the Spanish city of Guernica during World War II.
“The targeted destruction of Guernica with its civilian population was the sole objective of this Nazi war crime,” said the German-Jewish lobby, Werte Initiative, in a statement denouncing the festival. “To equate this with the actions of the Israeli army demonizes the State of Israel. In doing so, a perpetrator-victim reversal takes place that is clearly anti-Semitic.”
A large-scale mural features an image of a Jew with vampire-like fangs, a snake tongue, bloodshot eyes and an SS pin on his hat. In another image, the face of a man identified as a Mossad agent is shaped like a pig.
“This depiction is classic anti-Semitism under state sponsorship and an absolute breach of the dam,” said Elio Adler, chair of the Werte Initiative. “Those responsible must immediately ensure that this work of art is no longer to be seen.”
The work, too large to be removed, has been draped over with a cloth and accompanied by a complementary explanation, much to the chagrin of critics, such as Werte Initiative, who said that the work has been cast by the artists as a symbol of “the impossibility of dialogue.”
“The basis of this disaster is not a lack of dialogue, but anti-Semitism,” said Adler. It is now slated to be dismantled.

37 members of Congress send letter urging investigation into Boston BDS map
(June 22, 2022 / JNS) A bipartisan group from the U.S. House of Representatives is calling for the federal government to investigate the use of the Boston “BDS Map” by violent extremists and terrorists, and boost security for the organizations listed.
Sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI director Christopher Wray, the letter warns that the “Mapping Project” released earlier this month by a BDS group in eastern Massachusetts—listing Jewish organizations with names and addresses—could be used as a roadmap for violent attacks by BDS supporters, including anti-Semitic Foreign Terrorist Organizations, homegrown extremists and domestic extremists.
The effort was led by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.), and joined by 35 colleagues.
“We fear that this map may be used as a roadmap for violent attacks by supporters of the BDS movement against the people and entities listed,” wrote the letter’s authors. “We ask that you investigate the use of the Mapping Project by extremist organizations, provide any necessary enhanced security for targets listed in the project, and work with social-media companies and Internet service providers to prevent its further distribution. We must not turn a blind eye to this dangerous incitement.”
The letter cited instances of anti-Semitic violence in the past several years and the ADL’s 2021 “Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents” that indicated that the number of such attacks in the United States rose by 34% within the year and was the highest rate recorded since the survey began in 1979.

I gave you quotes from Amnesty accusing Israel of deliberately targeting civilians, which you clearly stated is terrorism.
The only bullshit here is your very lame denial.
Clearly you are not against terrorism, you are only against Palestinians.
This explains your support of apartheid.
