Of course let's no forget the Jews of Ethiopian origin, or Indian origin (Bene Menashe).
And again with the apartheid slur. Amnesty International opted to change the definition of the word to suit their accusation rather than accept that it was wrong. All Israeli citizens have the same rights and access to services and rule of law same as Canadian citizens here. Palestinians are not barred from professions (Doctor, Lawyer, etc), not barred from owning land or selling that land to whomever they want, there are no Palestinian only beaches, arenas, parks. I wonder what Israeli Supreme Court Justices Khaled Kabub and Abdel Rahman Zuabi(temporarily) would say to that.
Yes, life in Judea and Samaria is different. The Palestinians there are governed by the P.A. and subject to P.A. law in area A, while subject to Israeli Military law in areas B & C.
Let's talk about apartheid - the concept of racial segregation enshrined in law. Is it apartheid to ban a group from professions and bar them from owning land? It is. Yet you don't seem to upset about Lebanon doing this to the Palestinians there. Is it apartheid to ban the sale of your property to another identifiable group on pain of death? It is. Yet that law is on PA books. It seems apartheid is bad EXCEPT when is comes to the Jews.

You can't be that obtuse, can you?
The fact you refer to the West Bank as "Judea and Samaria" tells me all I need to know. Even if we accept the fact that Palestinian citizens of Israel are treated equally to Jews (they're not) the apartheid exists in the West Bank.
As the pro israel side on here loves to keep repeating "educate yourself."
