9 times out of 10, when I've encountered "Anti-Israel" sentiments in real life or online, it quickly becomes clear that the person espousing those sentiments is mildly or majorly anti-Semitic. They blame the "Zionists" for inciting the US to invade Iraq, think that the Israelis (read: Jews) are all inherently evil people who revel in their oppression of Palestinians and like to make their lives as miserable as possible just for the hell of it.

And, for the record? There is no "semi-Apartheid" anything in Israel. There is racism -- a lot of it, in fact -- but it isn't sanctioned by the Government 99% of the time. And, when the Government is in on the racism, left-leaning Israelis are in the streets protesting it -- without being carted off to prison, I might add, like they would have been in South Africa prior to 1994.

I grew up in South Africa in the shadow of Apartheid, and comparisons between Israel and Apartheid South Africa always make me think that the person making those comparisons doesn't know all that much about either country.

This, this, this.

People scream Apartheid and forget that about 16% of Israel's citizens are non Jewish Arabs. That there are Arab members in the Israeli Parliament. That there was an Arab president for a while. That there are anti-discrimination laws in Israel. Who are those Arabs? Some random people Israel decided to let in? No, they're the same fucking people as the ones in Gaza and the West Bank.

Are the laws always helpful? No. Is there racism in Israel? Of course. But there's racism everywhere. No one says Israel is perfect, but it's a far cry from third-Reich-Germany or Apartheid-south-Africa.
