Israel is not "the Jews".

And of course it's wrong (no brainer).

But "equating South Africa Apartheid with Whites" is wrong, too, in the same way.
What made South Africa Apartheid 'apartheid' is just that a system of discrimination favoring South African "whites" (generally, of European extraction) was built into FOUNDATIONAL LAW. It wasn't a flash in the pan, it wasn't just random individuals involved in racial discrimination, it wasn't just systemic but illegal abuse. It was FOUNDATIONAL LAW. That's what made it (to a higher factor) horrific.

It is WRONG to sugarcoat or elide this fact about South Africa Apartheid. It is just as WRONG to sugarcoat or elide the systematic LEGISLATED abuse that Israel engages in.

Of course not all "whites" (I put "white" in quotes because it's a non-scientific, racist designation) lived in South Africa Apartheid! Of course not all "whites" who lived there supported Apartheid! Of course not all people who lived in South Africa Apartheid were white! But that's a no brainer, so obvious it should go without saying. It is NOT racist to say that the discriminatory SA Apartheid laws were *causal*, and favored "whites", and the whole system was all about white supremacy. It's just a fact.

I say that Israel runs an Apartheid country, just because it has apartheid FOUNDATIONAL LAWS that favor one ethnicity over all others.
That's all I'm saying. I'm not denying that Ken Burch is correct, that Israel != Jew, because again, that's so obvious it hurts.
