And you are wrong every time.I have said this a million times. The crime of Apartheid is defined by international law. Not South Africa. International law is the standard.
Citizenship has everything to do with apartheid.Apartheid has nothing to do with citizenship.
Apartheid was created by S. Africa not the international community.Again international law is the standard.
There you go using the irrelevant argument when you know that EU and N. America are the world's economic and military juggernaut.EU and North America will tag along where they go. It means nothing.
Fringefooter will tell us it's fake, that Steven Spielberg is an Israeli operative and created that as a movie stage and filmed it.
Oh! You mean the anti-Semite?You are right sad shack…you can’t ignore someone who actually lived through Apartheid. How about Nobel Winner Desmond Tutu? As an aside, thanks for teeing it up for me so easily. You make it so effortless.

Desmond Tutu: Israel guilty of apartheid in treatment of Palestinians | The Jerusalem Post
Tutu, the Nobel Peace laureate, criticized Israeli policies toward the Palestinians in the territories as "humiliating."www.jpost.com
What a joke. Less than a week ago you were asking for proof that there were tunnels. Now that you have seen the proof you move onto your predictable "that's irrelevant" defense. Let's change the topic.a) There is no doubt there are tunnels everywhere. However the question is not about the presence of tunnels.
Another post which I predicted.b) The vehicles, weapons etc shown in the video, could very well be placed there by the IDF. Not very trustworthy on that one.
Oh sad shack….don‘t be such a sore loser. And that thumb sucking is unbecoming.Oh! You mean the anti-Semite?
Bishop Tutu was the most influential anti-Semite of our time - JNS.org
Tutu minimized the suffering of those killed in the Holocaust. He has attacked the “Jewish” – not Israeli – “lobby” as too “powerful” and “scary.” He has invoked classic anti-Semitic stereotypes and tropes about Jewish “arrogance,” “power” and “money.” He has characterized Jews a “peculiar people,” and has accused “the Jews” of causing many of the world’s problems.
He minimized the suffering of those murdered in the Holocaust by asserting that “the gas chambers” made for “a neater death” than did Apartheid. He complained of “the Jewish Monopoly of the Holocaust,” and demanded that its victims must “forgive the Nazis for the Holocaust,” while refusing to forgive the “Jewish people” for “persecute[ing] others.”
Tutu asserted that Zionism has “very many parallels with racism,” thus echoing the notorious and discredited “Zionism equals racism” resolution passed by the General Assembly of the United Nations and subsequently rescinded.
He accused Jews — not Israelis — of exhibiting “an arrogance — the arrogance of power
And lots more. Like you said Little Buddy, too easy. Effortless.
You are changing the topic.Nope, the crime of apartheid, is defined per international law and has nothing to do with citizenship. Repeating the same thing over and over again, does not mean, you are right, or you have an argument.
I did say that but when somebody's statements are clearly based on racist thinking they then become irrelevant.Oh sad shack….don‘t be such a sore loser. And that thumb sucking is unbecoming.
Just a gentle reminder….straight from the horses mouth:
“How can you realistically claim that somebody who lived through the actual apartheid era has irrelevant views?”
The reason why it is a separate section is obvious. I have the ability to post here and yet also give positive advice in another thread.
Aside from the Israeli-Palestinian quagmire (which I don't know enough to knowledgeably comment on anyways), the Politics (and COVID) sections have degenerated into what I consider a cesspool of rabid right wing lunatics re-spewing vitriolic nonsense.
And the worst of them have never posted a single review nor otherwise contributed to an intelligent or interesting discussion.
So, while nobody is going to miss me anyways, I have pretty much abandoned participating in TERB at all. I have pretty much not posted in a month or so although I read a few posts here and there once in a while. Which just reinforces my decision to disengage from TERB. I think many others have silently done the same.
imagine that TERB ownership have crunched the numbers to see if the posting activity (hits) in Politics (and the resultant stated value in advertising rates/views) outweigh the loss of authentic, stalwart members.
But it's not, and you only provided a hypothetical. Yet I hear calls for Palestinians to be given a vote.Huh? If it is a 1 state solution then yes they need to be given a vote as equal citizens.
Imagine dropping two Hiroshima's worth of explosives in one tiny chunk the size of Montreal.
How many other countries refuse to give 4 million people the vote based on their race?But it's not, and you only provided a hypothetical. Yet I hear calls for Palestinians to be given a vote.
As well, I am not asking for an opinion or recommendation. I am simply looking for factual information from someone who has the knowledge.
Are there currently any countries that allow non-citizens to vote in that country's election? Do you personally know of any that do this. It's a yes or a no.
It is not a question dealing in what ifs and hypotheticals.
I agree, IF there was only 1 state all citizens should be given a vote, obviously.
Exactly, the ruling of apartheid is based on treatment of people, not on their citizenship status.The crime of Apartheid as defined by the Rome statute. Citizenship is not a criteria for a crime of apartheid to happen.
The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes against humanity "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime".
Which means Israel is enacting genocide on 1.2 million children that have nothing to do with Hamas.Which means that surrender and release of hostages makes even MORE sense now.
The day when the last Hamas rocket from Gaza is launched into Israel is fast approaching.Imagine dropping two Hiroshima's worth of explosives in one tiny chunk the size of Montreal.
