These Israeli settlements paint a big target on the USA. They need to stop taking land. They really are creating an Apartheid nation if they keep doing this.

Racist
The Arabs don’t belong there. Jews do.

The only thing you need to remember about Israeli politics is this: “the rent is too damn high.”
Why are young people protesting?
Why do they want to take Palestinian land?
Why are they building settlements?
Why do politicians not care what the world thinks about settlements?
Done.

Again, I mentioned no race. But you did. You seem to be the racist.

Only Israel is allowed to control their borders and immigration to have a homogenous population. They can even shoot, bomb and bulldoze their neighbors out of the way whenever they need more space. Europe and the US? Forget about it. That would be racist.
If one reads up on the 1965 Immigration Act, that was sponsored by Senator Jacob Javits, a jewish senator from new york. That opened the floodgates of the US that had been closed since 1924.
They neither propose nor pass such insane legislation in the Knesset.

MSN Fanboy, who is throwing the racist card, could try to defend the sterilization of black jews, or the recent redefining of Israel as a racial ethnostate for jews. Some 80-90 % of the jews there are post-1917 immigrants.

I can’t stand talking about either. The whole situation is like a family feud. There is no justice nor honor in what is going on in that shit hole part of the world.

You certainly display such ignorance. That’s all I have to say. The article seems to show a trend and it suggests a racism against the native people (Arabs) of the region. It seems similar to that of the early USA in some respect and how the Native Americans were treated.

they should redraw the borders so as to separate completely Israel and Palestine, the problems are caused by the many enclaves (eg Gaza strip…) …my two cents…

It seems that MSM Fanboy has no ability other than to fling the “racist” card against everyone and everything. He desperately needs to see a good shrink to control his psychosis.
