I know border crossings can take a while, but explaining my polycule is going to make this a long process. I hope they have time for tea, paper diagrams and Google Calendar.

#63You 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?
It’s less than what any other reasonable and self-respecting country would do. Inhabitants of that area do not recognize Israel as the state they reside in, and certainly they are not Israeli citizens. This rule regards a zone which has been at war for decades and which had daily suicide attacks until very strict checkpoints were placed.

> European invaders Most of Israeli Jews are of middle eastern origin. Their ancestors have never been to Europe, and they have been forced to flee their homes and go to Israel because of persecution by Muslim Arabs across the middle east — the same genocidal racism that stands behind current conflict.

> 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?
Might makes right, or something like that. The eternal story of the oppressed turned oppressor.

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.

#69Perfectly reasonable for a zone which has been at war for decades, and a country which has avoided daily suicide attacks by placing checkpoints and strict borders. This is another undesirable but necessary step in that direction.
Have you heard about human rights?
