Top House Democrats reject Rep. Jayapal's comments calling Israel a 'racist state'

[Uncle Joe]

62. Again, I already addressed the subject, it was a poor choice of words, but it's not uncommon

to use "nation" as descriptive of a government, it's done all the time, even against us.

I believe it's much ado about nothing but again for the third time, it was a poor choice of words.

I think all this does is take attention away from what's being done to the Palestinians and Israelis for that matter by Netanyahu's extremist right wing government of which you have no answer.

If an American journalist (or any journalist) can be murdered by a supposed ally and the investigation covered up, I'm highly suspect of that government.

Apartheid

the action or state of setting someone or something apart from others.
"a model that perpetuates the segregation of older people"

the enforced separation of different racial groups in a country, community, or establishment.
"an official policy of racial segregation"

So if this isn't apartheid, what is it?

Israel expels Sub Labans from their home in Jerusalem’s Old City

Ramallah, occupied West Bank – Israeli forces and settlers have expelled a Palestinian family from their home in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem based on an Israeli court order.

The order said the family, who have lived in their home for 70 years, should be removed so settlers could take over.

Dozens of Israeli left-wing activists protested in front of the family’s home until late morning on Tuesday.

Palestinian civil society and rights groups released a statement late last month blasting Israel’s efforts to displace the family, which they said is “forcible transfer, which constitutes both a war crime and a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute”.

When Israel occupied the eastern part of Jerusalem in 1967, the state assumed control over the property before it was transferred to a private Jewish settler organisation, Galetzia Trust, which reportedly has ties to the infamous Ateret Cohanim group.

“The case was decided against the family by a magistrate who was herself a settler,” a 2016 report by then-UN Special Rapporteur Makarim Wibisono read.

“Uprooting Palestinians, whether through means of evictions, home demolitions or other discriminatory policies and practices employed by Israel to forcibly transfer Palestinians from East Jerusalem and Area C of the West Bank is a flagrant violation of Israel’s obligations under international law,” the statement added.
