A virtual tour of "apartheid Israel"

from Israel Insider
Two years ago, Ms. Charlotte Kates, a heavily made up young women, burst onto the terrorist apologist scene. {Young mind's are so easily molded~~I've been saying for years that educators could turn an entire generation in communists if they wish~~ummm, it appears that many have done exactly that.}
A student and leader of the Palestine Solidarity Movement at Rutgers University, she will be best remembered {infamously remembered...} for her vehement defiance of Israel's right to exist.
She not only advocated Israel's destruction but declared that Israeli children were legitimate targets of Palestinian suicide bombers.
However her main claim to fame was her amazing knowledge on Apartheid and that Israel was just such a regime. This fact was all the more remarkable as Ms. Kates was neither an Arab nor a Jew; she certainly wasn't studying the Middle East, or any associated subject, and to the best of my knowledge had never even visited Israel.
The notion of Apartheid was certainly not invented by Ms. Kates. Tragically, this canard, adopted today by many seemingly {perhaps they seem to be but really are not} intelligent people, has turned them into apologists for terrorist acts.
This macabre stratagem aimed at legitimizing those that perform acts of premeditated murder, then gift wrapping it as a noble cause, belongs first and foremost in the annals of evil folklore.
I have lived in Israel for many years and I would be delighted to take Ms. Kates on a little virtual tour of our "Apartheid" country.
Let me first give you a few minor points. Israel, when compared to the surrounding 22 Arab States and Iran. occupies 0.154026517923177 % of the landmass of the Middle East. The only Jewish state in the world is the only free, democratic nation in this region. The other countries fall into such categories as Police Regimes, Theocracies or Tyrannies, with only 5 of them being partially free states.
Let us begin the virtual tour!!
Ms. Kates has already been through immigration at Tel Aviv Airport with her boyfriend, whom we shall call Ken. She will have filled out a visitors form. This form will not ask her, as it will in many of the countries that surround us, what is her religion, and it will certainly not ask her, as they do in Saudi Arabia, for a "certificate of religion".
The day is Sunday! She may wish to attend a church service. No problem in the Apartheid State of Israel. We tolerate and freely allow worship for all religions. This is more than can be said for nearly all of the surrounding 22 Arab nations. In fact many of them would not even have a single church, let alone a synagogue.
After the service, Charlotte and Ken would head for a leisurely lunch, maybe at one of the lovely beachfront restaurants in Tel Aviv. They would most likely have returned to their hotel and put on a casual outfit, as befits the very hot Israeli summers. This could be a pair of shorts and a tight fitting skimpy t-shirt. No problem in the Apartheid state of Israel.
In Israel we allow freedom of dress, especially for women, who are not made to wear bulky long robes, a veil to cover their face. And wouldn't it be a pity if she had to cover that lovely coiffed hairdo, as she would probably have to in most of the surrounding 22 Arab states.
During lunch Ken could gaze lovingly into her heavily painted eyes, complete with a good application of black mascara. He would be free to lean across and kiss her lips, finely painted with lipliner, 2 shades of burgundy lipstick and gloss.
People would probably think they were in love, especially as Ken has proudly displayed a good wine on the table. Public displays of affection and consuming alcohol in the Apartheid State of Israel is nothing unusual and is not even frowned upon. That's more than can be said for most of the surrounding 22 Arab states, where her glossy lips would be considered whorish and alcohol is forbidden.
Ken, under the influence being a little tipsy and flirtatious, even pinched one of the young waitresses while the pretty little Charlotte went to reapply her lipstick. It was harmless and luckily for the young girl in the Apartheid State of Israel, her father and six brothers will not take her to the family pool in the evening and drown her, as they might in some of the surrounding 22 Arab states. But (shhhh!) don't tell Charlotte.
After lunch our lovely couple decides to go for a drive around town. Charlotte is even allowed to drive. It is not forbidden in Israel. They could even have availed themselves of the excellent public transportation system, where no distinction is made for race, religion or colour. They could just as easily have sat next to Mohammed as they could next to Moses or Maria.
They stumble across a kindergarten. The children are running around and enjoying themselves. They are not made to sit for hours reciting by rote pages from religious books. Their games are in the sand box or on the swings. They are not infected with hate or told the only honour to their lives will be in death.
In the Apartheid state of Israel we rejoice in life and living. We do not promote murder and violence by brainwashing our children with hatred, as they do in many of the surrounding 22 Arab states, and especially the neighboring Palestinian Authority.
By the end of the day our couple comes across a political rally. Many thousands have turned up. In the Apartheid State of Israel, all the citizens, men, women, Jew, Arab and Christian are free to vote. We are allowed to openly criticize the government and our media, including the T.V. and newspapers, offer, without prejudice, a choice of opinions.
Every person has the right to openly agree or condemn the government. This can certainly not be said for most of the surrounding 22 Arab states, ruled as they are by oppressive dictators, where any dissent is met with dire consequences.
Of course, most of the 22 surrounding Arab countries can't offer you a good old-fashioned homicide bombing as a tourist attraction. This can only happen in the Apartheid State of Israel, surrounded as we are, by so many hostile countries, determined, as you are, to wipe us of the face of the earth.
Where else can you get on a crowded bus, often packed with children and come face to face with some poor, plighted Palestinian ghoul who thinks life isn't very jolly, having been fed and brainwashed by evil organizations like Hamas, to believe that the only way forward is to murder innocent people?
This dehumanized creature will have been fed on a 24/7 diet of lies and hate incitement, he will have been coaxed with the reward of 72 vestal {more likely vampiric} virgins waiting for him in Paradise.
His demonic mother will be dancing in the street waving her $10,000 check. {The god of money worshipped! 1 child for $10,000~~seems too cheap to me...} While Israelis are scraping their dead children off the sidewalks, the Palestinians will be lighting fireworks and dancing in the street, the proud parents handing out sweets, to honour this mass murderer as a hero, inspirations to their siblings and peers to aspire to be the next generation of mass murderers.
It's funny isn't it that a large section of the Jews who live in this apartheid state had to flee for their lives from nearly all of the surrounding 22 Arab states {this includes Saudie Arabia}. These countries not only have no tolerance for Jews, they refer to anyone who is not a Muslim as an Infidel {this includes EVERY American}, a dhimmi (second class citizen) and an enemy of their state. I find it curious that she and others finds nothing "apartheid" about these countries.
In the Apartheid State of Israel there are almost one million Arabs. They are afforded the same social benefits as the Jews. They are even represented in the Israeli Parliament. Given the choice it is unlikely that any of them would wish to live anywhere else. Certainly not in an Arab country. Most certainly not in the Palestinian Authority.
I am proud to live in this Apartheid State. In 57 years we have become one of the most technologically advanced nations on this planet, with a multitude of innovations that have made Israel a leader in many fields. {God continues to bless His Chosen People. And will continue to do so.}
It is tragic that we have to live in a region that feels threatened by our achievements. It is tragic that people like Ms. Kates are blinded by their ignorance and hatred of our achievements.
I can only hope that Ms. Kates has by now discarded her Kafiyah, chipped off that heavy layer of {Arabs would state~~whorish!} makeup, and discovered her conscience.
But I am not holding my breath. {Nor would I! The brain-damage is too complete.}
