Democrats publish draft platform language on Middle East

[shira]

11. I think you should demonstrate to the classroom how the actual definition of Apartheid...

....applies to the situation with Israel, without that definition also applying to every other western democracy on the planet.

Definitions are kind of important.

Or you can just acknowledge there is no definition of Apartheid that matches the description in Israel and that the charge is bullshit.

See, it isn't that Israel doesn't match S.Africa in every way, it's that Israel in no way is an Apartheid state. There is no definition of Apartheid anywhere that demonstrates Israel is apartheid anymore than such a definition would apply to any other liberal democratic nation. Same for Jim Crow, BTW. I'm sure you know that...

Go on now before the classroom. Show how the situation in Israel matches the DEFINITION of apartheid. This isn't the time for propaganda, gimmicks, or hyperbole. No personal insults or attacks, no bullshit. Just the facts. Justify that position of yours. Provide a definition, any definition. You can do it!

Give it your best shot and show us what you've got. Take your time...
