You can't now ignore that Israel is the state. And if that is the case, can they treat their citizens like this? How is it different from apartheid?

Why does it apply only to relationships with Palestinians and not with Israeli citizens?

People who are born and live in Israel's occupied territories are barred from Israeli citizenship due to their ethnic and religious background. That's apartheid.

Giving citizenship to anyone born within (Jus soli) is actually not very typical in the world. The US is somewhat of an outlier. Most countries run on the principle of inheriting citizenship.

it is funny how american "ally"ness with israel somehow manages to put a cover on the "western" democracy values and "freedoms"....

i am pretty sure the moment israel-usa relations turn sour, usa would wake up to the "inhuman treatment" and "apartheid"....

right now its all fair and square and under the approval of American interests so its all fine. even EU hasn't had that "woke" moment with Palestinian yet, most probably because of the same pro-israel lobby....

like it or not, more than 60% of all countries in the world recognize the State of Palestine as a full sovereignty state. It is a fact, not something remain to be negotiated.

When I took a trip to Canada, immigration asked the guy ahead of me where he was staying and he said “with my girlfriend” and subsequently got grilled for 10 min about the details of his relationship. And if he had refused to answer he would have been denied entry.
