I’m trying to gather evidence of Israeli apartheid to save for the next time this comes up and yet all I’m getting is “they’re mean to the Palestinians”.

All of that is just oppression. Those videos could have been taken in Chile during Pinochet or Philippines during Marcos. I don’t think people have done the work to understand what apartheid actually is, and just equate it to “something bad” in their brains.

That’s great and all…but that’s not apartheid. :(

她 is “she”. The 女 part of the character means “woman”. It is a pictograph of a woman holding a child. As if all women can have children. It’s sexist and transphobic. I could go on, but suffice it to say that the entire hanzi system of characters has this shit baked into it and none of it will ever go away without outside action. Mao tried but couldn’t get it done.

I’m trying to convince hardcore Israeli supporters and while I’m at it, neutrals. You can spout all the atrocities you like and they’ll just say “Hamas deserved it” or some other such nonsense. I need to draw explicit links between South African apartheid and Israeli apartheid, ideally using Israel’s own laws. Failing that, videos of hardcore Israelis saying shit like “fuck yeah we have apartheid and it’s great.”

Yeah, they deliberately misinterpreted it and turned it into an argument they could win.

It’s actually encouraging to know that they don’t actually have any points to refute apartheid. They have to do this, because they have no other choice.

None of that is apartheid, though. Apartheid is stuff like not being able to buy land because it’s a white area.
