Israel is a racist white European colony in an Arab country. Desmond Tutu says Israel is an Apartheid country, he must know what’s he’s talking about as he has spent all his life fighting apartheid!! Israel daily persecutes Palestinians in the occupied territories. It has created Bantustans encircled by the wall of shame. It pretends the Palestinians are terrorists when they are Freedom fighters fighting to free their country from occupation just as the freedom fighters during the Second World War fought Nazi occupation. In the occupied territories there are roads & facilities for Jewish terrorists settlers while Palestinians have to go through humiliating road blocks. Gaza is a huge ghetto similar to the ones under Nazi occupation. Israel kills innocent Palestinian women & children with impunity as during the bombing of Gaza which is akin to Guernica. Why does not Israel go back to pre-1967 borders which will produce instant peace & recognition by all Arab countries instead of occupying & terrorising the West Bank & starving Palestinians in Gaza to death?

It doesn't matter what you call it.

The fact is that the Palestinian people have slowly, systematically and violently, had their country stolen from them over the last century.

The fact is that the Palestinian people that have not fled, that are still trying to live in the remants of what was once their country, are being systematically and violently oppressed. They have been the target of ethnic cleansing, being carried out with the sole purpose of exterminating the remaining Palestinian people in order to complete the theft of their country by the ideologically driven Zionists.

The fact is that the Zionists are doing to the Palestinians exactly what the Nazis tried to do to many groups in Europe during WWII, including the Jewish peoples for whom Europe was their home.

I cant believe the fanatical Zionist frenzy that many people have been expressing in response to this article.

This is the problem.

Maybe if the Zionist regime stopped using tanks and jet bombers to mercilessly attack the remant refuges of Palestine people, maybe if the Zionist regime stopped the blockade of food and humanitarian supplies, maybe if the Zionist regime desisted in the continual expansion of territory under it's occupation, then the Palestinians would not be inclined to fight back with the only means available to them.

If the Zionists are truly interested in finding a peacful solution to this festering issue, then why do they not abide by the many UN resolutions that have been passed, and supported by the overwhelming majority of members tates.

Why is it that even now the USA has come out saying peace is not possible if the Zionists continue to steal even more land.

Peace will only be possible when the Zionists accept they have wronged the Palestinian people, are truly contrite for their criminal actions, are sincerely prepared to take steps to repair the damage they have wrought against the Palestinian people and the international community.

Hi Butinsky.

Your post infers that both the Arabs and the Israelis are behaving in exactly the same way towards the minorities they despise within their own borders. I agree. The Arabs have ethnically cleansed the Jews from within their God given territories, and forced them to flee to Israel (or somewhere else). And the Israelis are doing their best to ethnically cleanse the Arabs within what they regard as their own God given territory.

I don't buy your claim that Jews lived in Edenic peace with Arabs and Muslims prior to 1945. They may have been valued for their intelligence and productivity, but Muslims have never been noted for their tolerance of minorities. Under Sharia Law, they may have had some protection and they may not have been openly persecuted as they were in Europe, provided that they accepted second class citizenship status and paid the Jizya tax. Hitler himself received a delegation of Muslim mufti's prior to WW2 who praised his efforts to eradicate the Jews.

And "what I believe in" Butinsky, is that everybody is racist. Racism is fundamentally intergroup hostility between competing groups, and you are never gong to prevent that. The reason why people like yourself now despise the Jews is because the Jews, as the most racially persecuted people on the planet, should be totally against racism and the most ardent supporters of Saving the world Through Destroying Racism. You are utterly aghast that the Jews are just like everybody else and that they can put their own self interest above your cherished ideology.

You expected so much more from the Jews. Their rejection of your childish ideology has caused you to switch sides from the Jewish racists to the Arab/Muslim racists. It says a lot about yourself, if you have this child like faith that we can end all war by having everybody just hold hands and sing "Kumbaya.

Dear Cleretlepep

Your premise that white people should not live in "Arab" lands is a racist premise. And Hitler would strongly disagree with you on your premise that Jews are "white" anyway.
