Learn history. At one point, blacks in S. Africa were citizens with full rights but the governmental policy of apartheid took many of those rights away. Palis on the West Bank or in Gaza were never citizens. As such no rights of citizenship were ever taken away from them. There is no apartheid and the UN's lack of a resolution saying that bears me out. They passed a resolution in 1963 condemning S. Africa of just that, apartheid. This is documented history. These are my facts and this is my logic.
History and facts show that Black South Africans
did not have citizenship rights before 1948 when the National Party came to power and the apartheid era began. Black South Africans did not have the right to vote, had some freedom of movement, education and employment prior to 1948. But with apartheid, they were herded into Bantustans and pass laws were implemented to restrict movement of Black South Africans, while severely restricting all of their civil rights.
The exact same thing happens in Palestine. Before the formation of Israel, Palestinians lived everywhere in present day Israel. They have all been herded into Gaza and the West Bank in a few disparate ghettos, their freedom of movement is severely restricted via walls, checkpoints. Similar to the pass laws implemented in South Africa, Palestinians have passes restricting their freedom of movement. They are also subject to different laws, subject to racial segregation and violence, similar to how Black South Africans were treated.
Hence, it is exactly the same thing that happened in South Africa, and it IS Apartheid.
Now coming to the UNGA resolution, show me an international law, that states, that for Apartheid (which is a crime under international law), to be considered to exist, it needs a UNGA resolution first. Well, there is none. Same with genocide. Has there been a UN resolution against the Armenian Genocide? Yet it is considered a genocide. So no, there is no need for a UNGA resolution for a crime of apartheid to exist.
Your post displays a profound lack of logic, or fact. As I said, I have educated you above. Take some time to go through the actual history (not your own imaginations), and correct yourself.
I have been educated throughout my life by intelligent and educated people.
Yes, by people like me. And your posts are a product of conveniently ignoring people who educate you.
I would never include you in that group.
Now it is clear why your posts are so completely lacking in logic or fact. You conveniently ignore actual facts and ignore people who fact check you. I was raised with values, where they taught me that "with age comes wisdom". I no longer believe this to be true. You are one of the case studies why.
Worry about yourself and all the people that mock you for your inability to maintain a coherent conversation. Should I name them all?
I dont have to worry about myself, because although I have a lot of support from actual sensible members on this board, I never resort to relying on them as I am confident in my own posts.
You could name them if you like. After all you need the support. But as I have said multiple times, you and your ol' buddies, that people laugh at, or what you guys rant on about at the early bird special, is frankly, irrelevant.
