List out to me Japan's and Italy's apartheid policies. Go on. And even if you did, btw, this would still not absolve Israel of it's being an apartheid...

The 'Japanese people' and 'the Italian people' are anyone with a citizenship, all of whom are subject to the rule of law. This being unlike the theoce...

Of all the reasons to excuse the murder of children by Israel, antinatialism is probably my favorite - not only does it make people who defend Israeli...

Well America is an incomparably worse nation than Israel so one step at a time.

Yep. And the fact that everyone now recognizes the depravity of Israeli settler-apartheid policy can only have one possible outcome for a population a...
