Jews cannot travel to Area A. Or Area B. Or Gaza. And severe limitations on the Temple Mount. So by B'Tselem's definition, JEWS are the ones under apartheid.
@btselem If nations giving preference to their own national group over others is apartheid, then most European countries are apartheid. Every Arab country is apartheid. B'Tselem of course ignores WHY Israel has a Law of Return. I guess Nazi Germany isn't worth remembering anymore.
@btselem If even B'Tselem admits that Israeli Jews and Arabs have the same freedom of movement - in fact, Israeli Arabs have MORE - then where is the apartheid and "Jewish supremacy"?
Answer: Even @btselem knows this is a sham. And the accusation is nothing short of antisemitic.
@btselem So Israeli Arabs have full political rights. Wow.
There is some racism in Israel. Just like in the rest of the world. If that is apartheid, then the word loses all meaning.
B'Tselem knows this. Their entire argument is hand-waving, and nothing that relates to real apartheid.

Meanwhile, here's the socialist Left attacking the mainstream Democrats who support Israel @DemMaj4Israel. It's interesting to watch, and it exposes the false themes and anti-fact methods of the Israel haters. 1/
@DemMaj4Israel Notice how they cannot argue with DMFI's facts. As always, the facts don't favor the Israel haters, so instead they say that DMFI used information from @RegavimIsrael which they tar as "far right" and "anti-Palestinian" as if their facts therefore don't matter. 2/
@DemMaj4Israel@RegavimIsrael I have spoken to Regavim and they do care about the Palestinians and Arab residents of Israel. But they also care about Jewish and Israeli rights. They properly try to balance both sets of rights within the framework of the law. That is not extremist. That is noble. 3/
Background: Obama said, "“You lost a big audience the minute you say it ["Defund the Police"], which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done.”
For once, he is 100% right.

I read some of the white papers from the Left on what they call "defunding the police."
I agreed with about 90% of what they said. Nearly all of it was for thoughtful police reform.
And I've spoken to law enforcement professionals who agree.

UAE businessman Khalaf Al Habtoor offers some reality bombs to Palestinians: (thread) haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
"I have been a supporter of the Palestinians all my life, both morally and materially, but over the decades, circumstances have changed. I’m a realist. I cannot remain stuck in some fantasy land, and neither do I wait indefinitely for miracles."
" To imagine that boycotting Israeli goods will force the collapse of the Jewish state is infantile and hypocritical. Many of the components in your computers are Israeli-made and Israeli microchips can be found in over 100 million devices worldwide."
It treats you exactly how you deserve - as an entity that has, through your own actions and rejectionism, made your cause irrelevant.

You could have been the ones on the White House lawn signing a genuine warm peace with Israel, multiple times, since 2000.
2/
Instead, you chose to adhere to your "principles" of destroying the Jewish state - through terror, through alliances with the worst human rights abusing states, through demographics of "return."

I'm starting to think we need a dashboard objectively listing what the threats to Jews are. Since this is Twitter, I'm going to throw out some unedited thoughts here. 1/
I'm thinking a list of the threats, where the threats are (US, Europe, Israel, elsewhere), magnitude, how violent, tactical and strategic countermeasures. For example: 2/
White nationalists/neo-Nazis: In the US, they seem to be a fringe group. But they are highly likely to be violent. We are already doing what we can to protect ourselves for the most part. 3/
