Thread Name: BS: The New Anti-semitism
Subject: RE: BS: The New Anti-semitism
Within the country of Israel there is no physical segregation according to language or ethnic origin I would know of. That's why I see nothing meriting the name Apartheid there.

Wolfgang, the apartheid is happening in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, and the government of Israel is the entity that is causing it to happen with the use of their military and the settlements. This is the part that some of us call "Palestine", and that many others call "Greater Israel" (or Judea and Samaria). And that is the part that people have been criticizing... Archbishop Tutu among them. If you don't even know what region of the Middle East we are talking about, maybe you need to become a bit more informed about it before weighing in with your opinions about people like Archbishop Tutu.

My apologies if anyone else has already made this point. I don't have time to read the whole thread just now.
