Israeli Historian Ilan Pappé: Israel Has Chosen To Be A "Racist Apartheid State" With U.S. Support (Original Post) Roy Serohz Jul 2014 OP
Sad, but true. Although I'm not sure "racist" is the right term. Maybe ethnic or tribal. BillZBubb Jul 2014 #1

The Israelis are definitely gradually ethnic cleansing the Palestinian areas.

If you & I were to observe a dozen Middle Easterners identically dressed, we most likely would not be able to distinguish the 6 Israeli Jews from the 6 Palestinian Arabs.

albeit, many Palestinians are in fact semites, in the eyes of Israeli's they're all subhuman, dirty Arabs.

That alone is racist bigotry. When a group of people decides that another group of people are subhuman, just mere animals, then it's ok to subjugate, torture and kill at will.

Yeah, it's racism alright.

and I agree with BillZ's thought that 'racist' might not be the right term; will think about it.
