Here are just some of the fundamental flaws in the new @HRW report:
1. The report is a lie that distorts both fact & law.
2. Under Apartheid, Black South Africans were prohibited from owning land. 🇮🇱 Arabs have the right to & own land in Israel.

3. The report ignores that fact that the Palestinian Authority controls 40% of Judea and Samaria.
4. The report ignores the fact that the Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas, an internationally designated terror organization.
>>>

5. The report ignores the fact that 90% of the Palestinians live under Palestinian control.
6. The report ignores that fact that Arabs resident in Jerusalem enjoy Israeli education, health, welfare, etc. etc. etc.
7. The report ignores Palestinian terror.
>>>

8. The report ignores the fact that 🇮🇱 Arabs, in increasing numbers, are proud ISRAELIS.
9, In Apartheid South Africa, NO black South Africans held any official position. 🇮🇱 Arabs sit on Israel’s Supreme Court (& in the lower courts, of course). jpost.com/arab-israeli-c…

10. Every year, more & more Israeli Arabs VOLUNTEER to serve in the IDF. At this moment, one of the Major-Generals in the IDF General Staff, is an Israeli Arab.

(i) Enforced disappearance of persons; (j) The crime of apartheid; (k) Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.

.@hrw, @KenRoth & @omarsshakir can try to spin their tale any way they want, but in the same way as they will never be able to prove the sun rises in the north & sets in the south, they will never be able to prove that 🇮🇱 practices Apartheid!

When @hrw, @KenRoth & @OmarSShakir invent & apply standards that are specific to the Jewish state, they are not defending human rights, they are practicing RACISM!

When @hrw, @KenRoth & @OmarSShakir attempt to pervert reality & charge 🇮🇱 with practicing Apartheid, they are not defending human rights, they are detracting from the pugnacious nature of the true Apartheid.
