The relationship has been pretty sour since Netanyahu for a lot of Americans. He openly meddled in internal US politics, like Putin but with less gaslighting.

apparently not sour enough

Rather, not for enough Americans. Netanyahu won the hearts of Republican voters by openly treating Obama with contempt.

Not that what the rules actually say matters to anyone here, but you can read the text for yourself (the article even links to them): "A foreigner married to a resident of the Area, or forming a couple with one, must proceed to make arrangements according to Part 4 of this procedure before arriving at the Area. If the relationship starts after the foreigner arrived at the Area, then the authorized COGAT official must…

> In short, if you become engaged, married, or cohabiting, then yes you may not qualify anymore for the visa you entered under (and need a different permit), and have to report that within 30 days.

Who gives Israel the rights to issue such visas in the first place? US made tanks and missiles? Why should Palestinians apply Israeli visas to enter and stay in Palestinian land?

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?

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.

Ahh so he went to stay with his "girlfriend who lives in canada" ... sure thing bud.

It is apartheid.

So the US can just declare the black hoods as external terretories and then the South could have continued as they were in the 60s. Amazing what you can achieve by some legal shananigens.

Fact is, Israel is in controll of those terretories, these people are suject to the Israeli state.

> the policy only targets part of the population No it doesn’t. Palestinians are outside Israel. It targets specific foreigners, not Arabs or Christians or anyone else.

Palestinians as foreigners ? Ok, then, thanks ! You just recognized Palestine as a country … ( pro-Israel people can’t have it both ways : denying Palestinian statehood or implying it depending on the issue being discussed…)

Palestinians are stateless. This doesn't make them less of foreigners.

Their unwillingness to surrender ever more (litterally less every year) territory and and water rights to colonial settlers. Their inwillingeness accept that refugees have no right to return.

Yeah they would have "sovereignty", just without most of the rights of a real state.
