Israel is proof that whites are singled out as evil?

Question

Both Israel & apartheid South Africa came into existence around 1947.

Israel is one of the most religously diverse countries in the world just as South Africa is one of the most ethnically/racially diverse countries.

Israel claims to be fighting "terrorists" just as SA did, although these "terrorists" exist only because of the state's policies.

Both had/have secretive and clandestine nuclear weapons programs used to intimidate the international community.

Both attempted/attempt to create unrecognized, arbitrarily drawn states within their states for non-citizens (Bantustans & Palestinian territories)

Both were/are politically dominated by ethnic groups who claim grievance from their ancestors being in concentration camps (Boer Wars, Holocaust)

Both are lands colonised by Europeans who built more modern civilizations in otherwise arid, backward regions.

So isn't it true that people aren't opposed to Israel as they were SA because only 'whites' can be discriminatory?

Answer 1

I once heard an American Jew on TV, who had been to South African, telling an Israeli state official that the policy of Israel is very similar to that of South Africa.

The Israeli-Arab issue is a 60 year long conflict. Naturally, it has many controversies. However, I don't think the Palestinians had ever had a hero like Nelson Mandela. I believe they could've achieved a lot more if they idealize Mandela instead of Che Guevara!

Answer 2

By most definitions of the idiotic term, Israelis are "white". Additionally, the connection between South Africa and Israel is constantly being drawn by reasonable people, . Support for apartheid South Africa continued among western governments for decades just as its continues for Israel now. The US vetoed numerous resolutions against South Africa into the 1980s. Its just that, for various reasons, support for Israel's systems of oppression is  lasting longer and the injustices in Israel haven't yet been brought to an end. So  stop being ******* paranoid about some stupid supposed conspiracy against "whites" that somehow allows these "whites" to stay as  the most powerful and wealthy people in the world. Racism remains endemic in the world, but it continues as a pernicious, often unconscious disregard to black people or "non-white" people in general. Question; why did the world go crazy about the deaths 3,000 "whites" in northern Ireland over a 30-year period, whereas the death of 4 million Africans in a civil war in the 1990s in the Congo barely raised any attention?

Answer 4

You do not know what you are talking about.  You are drawing conclusions between two incidences that have NOTHING to do with each other.  

Also your use of the term "white" is arbitrary.  In most cases, Jews are considered white (Caucasian).

Answer 5

cause its about religion not ethnicity.

Answer 6

1. Israel declared it independence in 1947 and was immediately recognized by many nations.  The system of apartheid was not made law until the National Party gained control of the South African government in 1948

2. Israel did not create the Palestinian territories, the UN did by mandate in 1947.  No Palestinian state was declared independent at the time, while Egypt (Gaza), Syria (Golan Heights), and TransJordan (West Bank) claimed those territories as belonging to them.  Israel occupied those areas after defeating the Arab armies in the Six Day War of 1967.  Tribal lands established by South Africa were within the borders of that nation.

3. Israelis and Palestinians are of the same racial background.  Labeling the Israelis as "evil whites" and the Palestinians as oppressed minorities is inaccurate.

4. Israel was not colonised by Europeans.  The area was part of the Ottoman Empire, mandated to Great Britain after the First World War.  

5. Connections between Israel and apartheid-era South Africa are not viable, no matter what Jimmy Carter says.

Answer 7

Are you serious!!!!! South Africa had a system set in place whereas whites could have political and economic jobs and blacks were forced into virtual serfdom. You just compared Nelson Mandela to Yassar Arafat are you crazy? And Whites dont build better civilizations becuase what does it matter if the native people are degraded and subjagated into oppression. I HAVE ONE QUESTION WHERE ARE ALL THE INDIANS OR NATIVE AMERICANS? ISNT AMERICA HERE BECAUSE THEY WERE WIPEDOUT OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH FOR A "MORE CIVILIZED COUNTRY" LOL. THE JEWS GOT THAT LAND BECAUSE OF ADOLF HITLER AND ADOLF EICHMANN DONT GET IT TWISTED.

That what's wrong with "some" white people at times they dont want to look over history if it is a race thing than who has used this racial hatred the most blacks,chinese, or whites alright then dont forget history it never dies.

Answer 8

I hope you don't mind me stealing your conclusions.

Interesting article I read in Ha'aretz recently;

"Israel's split psyche" by Carlo Strenger, 02/07/2008  

▬ "The paralysis reflects a pervasive sense of guilt about Israel's ongoing behavior. On the one hand, Israel is making a great effort to be a decent, democratic and creative society. On the other hand, in the West Bank, Israel continues building double road systems, expropriating Palestinian lands, cutting Palestinian villages in two with the security wall, and preventing Palestinian women from getting to hospitals to give birth."

▬ "Deep down, we all know that causing suffering to millions of Palestinians in the West Bank because of the settlements that are deep inside the territories is morally indefensible. And yet we let it happen: We go about our business trying to numb our conscience by saying, "There is no partner" or "The roadblocks are needed to prevent terror attacks" or "Look what happened when we left Gaza! We left, and all we get is Qassam attacks!"

Ramallah is not Auschwitz. Israel is not the Third Reich. We have no death camps and we haven't massacred one third of the Palestinian population in gas chambers. Therefore, everything we do is quite all right. We may fill the occupied territories with tear gas and blood, we may kill and injure and torture and blackmail and dispossess, we may surround millions by electric fences and tanks in tiny enclaves, we may hold them under siege and daily bombing, we may make pregnant women walk to hospitals, and we shoot ambulances too, don't we. But as long as we fall even an inch short of the atrocities of n**i Germany, it's all fine and good, and don't you dare make the comparison.

The pre-eminent obstacle to peace is Israel’s colonisation of Palestine.
