A simple question to unfurl a complex problem

 What’s the difference between segregation and apartheid? The answer is zero difference. In fact, the two words are synonyms, and they mean the same thing.

 

They mean the practice of singling-out one or more groups of people, and keeping them apart from the rest of society. This used to happen in South Africa, the United States of America and Australia as recently as the twentieth century where only a token handful of the separated groups were “integrated” in government jobs to hide the reality of segregation or apartheid. However, despite the fact that the practice has since been outlawed in these places, individuals and groups in the societies continue to this day keeping themselves distant from the ones they once considered unworthy of their company.

 

In a manner that’s even more defiant and glaring, the practice of segregated apartheid continues to take place in Jewish occupied Palestine where the indigenous Palestinian people are discriminated against both practically and legally. All of that happens at a time when everyone else, such as the Jews from every race and ethnicity – who settle in the properties they steal from the Palestinians – are allowed to pursue normal lives in the land they renamed Israel. The settlers are even protected by an American financed and equipped army of occupation that’s trained to shoot first and ask questions later.

 

Why is it important to know all of this?

 

You’ll understand why it’s important to know when you’ll have read the piece that came under the title: “Tlaib’s anti-Israel slander shows just how far Democrats have strayed,” an editorial in the New York Post that was published on September 22, 2022.

 

What to make of this? What to make of an editorial board that screams its head off discussing the worldwide rise in antisemitism – which the board attributes, at least in part, to the situation in occupied Palestine – but then turns around and falsely accuses Rep. Rashida Tlaib, an American legislator of Palestinian descent of slandering Israel for doing nothing more than draw attention to what the entire world has observed and continues to disprove of by displaying an antisemitic contempt that leaves no room for the Jews to misinterpret or think of as being something else.

 

Well then, unable to make sense of the editors’ stance, we must stop searching for a logical explanation as to what may be going on inside the heads of those editors. This leaves us with the only alternative of having to think in terms of politics, that magical place where alternative realities are spawned at will to replace the factual realities when the latter contradict the preconceived ideas that Jewish propagandists continually plant in the heads of the political elites they brainwash, mesmerize and hypnotize.

 

The first thing we need to do is make sure to refrain from swallowing in whole or in part the talking points crafted by those seasoned propagandists. After all, these people work to project an image of Israel as being a normal country when that concoction is anything but a country, much less a normal one. Here is an example of a talking point: “Arab Israelis serve in the Knesset and government.” So did the token African Americans in the United States, and the indigenous people in Australia and South Africa … and yet, apartheid and segregation did more than coexist with such deception; they thrived.

 

In addition to rejecting their disinformation, we must look at the Jewish propagandists in the face and call them liars when they say things like this: “Israel welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.” Yes, it is true that Israel welcomes tourist money and those who bring it, spend it and leave. But Israel does not take in non-Jews to become landed immigrants or settlers in the stolen territories.

 

Turning to the magical world of politics, here is what we encounter in the editorial of the New York Post:

 

“The latest anti-Israel slur highlights how far Democrats have strayed. Today, Tlaib is one of several Dems who push for its demise. Then again, Tlaib might be right that you can’t count yourself among ‘progressives’ today unless you oppose Israel. Progressive Dems who hate the Jewish state (and Jews?) backed a Tlaib resolution to describe Israel’s founding as a catastrophe. Yes, some Democrats did criticize Tlaib’s slander. But their leaders — President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, most notably — have been far too quiet. In the past, Pelosi and even Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have stood up for Tlaib who lives in fantasy-land. Time was when Democrats wouldn’t stand for lunacy — on Israel or anything else. Alas, now it’s becoming the party’s norm”.

 

And that is enough evidence to have us conclude that the apartheid which is practiced in occupied Palestine, was set up to pave the way for the eventual annihilation of the Palestinian identity.

 

It is what many American voices in the Evangelical movement have called for, as did a former Republican speaker of the House who negated the existence of Palestine to please the Jews he thought will get him reelected. Think about it, my friend. Think about the image of America that’s painted by those monsters. It is one that will go down in history as the genocidal America that used Israel as sword to vanquish Palestine and its people from the face of the Earth.

 

That’s how the political sausage is made in America. And this is why the country is in desperate need of individuals with spines made of steel, such as Rashida Tlaib and her friends who vowed to do what they can to move America back to the correct path, and restore to it the good name it had earned before the advent of the rabbis who messed it all up.
