(14,851 posts)Can you explain to us what you think the word "Apartheid " means ?
Or is "Apartheid " your general word for anything you find bad and distasteful and evil.
Can you explain to us what's your understanding if this word and should we all petition dictionaries to change the definition of Apartheid to "anything I feel is bad in Israel "?

Fine by me that you guys think every thing in Israel like a Kosher McDonalds in Jerusalem is Apartheid.
The felafel stand on Dizzengoff? Apartheid.
Tachanah Hamerkazi and Snorkeling in Herzliyah Petuach? Apartheid of course.
Everything is Apartheid ?
How cheap for the very real atrocities in South Africa.

(45,850 posts)Israeli military vehicles carried out two separate cross-border military incursions into the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday morning, witnesses told Ma'an.
The first incursion occurred east of Rafah as five bulldozers escorted by military vehicles leveled fields belonging to local Palestinians about 200 meters from the border fence inside the Gaza Strip.
Witnesses said that no gunfire was heard during the raid, but that military helicopters were seen in the sky.
Shortly after the first incursion, several Israeli military tanks crossed the border into the Gaza Strip firing gunshots into the air.
