(12,283 posts)so does the US, so does every country.......that subjects certain groups based on their genes to specific laws
why dont you define your version of racism...so we can apply it to other countries and see how they do....
and then define "apartheid" as per your definition and we'll apply that as well
keep you definitions precise.

pelsar, you continue in an attempt to personalize
of course i personalize it....laws mean nothing if they are not enforced and who does the "enforcing?" People like me, Israelis son, his friends, the sons and daughters of israelis kibbutz members. Its very personal. If you believe the israeli population can make better choices, than you accept that we're responsible for our govts actions...us individuals.
Israelis son is a career solider, that means he has chosen to be a part of the "aparthied system", he chose it, he is not a passive observer. As do I and my family members, hence its very personal.
now that we cleared that up, perhaps you might want to ask israeli, about her sons choices, she is very proud of him, perhaps she has some insights?
