THERE REALLY IS AN APARTHEID STATE. IT’S CALLED SOUTH AFRICA
Communist-run ANC state bans Jewish player from the national team.
South Africa, which just lost its case in the International Court of Justice, retaliated by firing the Jewish captain of their national cricket team.. (Their request to enjoin Israel from defending itself was denied, but South Africa’s Hamas allies were ordered to immediately release all hostages, an order which they declared they will refuse.)
South Africa has been one f the leading choruses chanting that Israel is an “apartheid state,” albeit one with Arab citizens in the Knesset, as IDF generals, on the Supreme Court, and as Ambassadors.
The concern has been that by lying and misrepresenting Israel, people around the world might not grasp what it means to be an apartheid state, where the government discriminates officially against certain of its citizens, based on their race or ethnicity, and this bigotry becomes the law and policy of the state.
Israel, of course, is as far from an apartheid state as possible. They brought in over a quarter million Ethiopian Jews. What other nation has gone to such lengths to bring in Black people?
If you want to see a real apartheid state, check out the communist-run ANC state of South Africa. In that nation, Jews are not able to serve on the national teams.
Sounds like apartheid to me!
