Comments by "" (@charlesmartin1121) on "Is Israel an Apartheid State? | The Israeli-Palestinian Context | Unpacked" video.
This video is a cleverly constructed lie or more accurately a series of half-truths, which add up to a big lie. So just to clear up a few points: in the Oslo agreements the Palestinian authority did not give-up their rights to the whole of the West Bank or approve Israeli settlements on any of the land, the area was divided into three zones as a temporary measure until final boundaries could be agreed to by both parties. This video conveniently lumps areas A and B together, but there are stark differences between the two. Area A is under the authority of the Palestinian Authority, but Area B which contains a majority Palestinian population is under Israeli military rule. Area C which constitutes 60% of the land is under total Israeli control. Finally from many lines of evidence, a majority of the Israeli people do see themselves as superior to their Palestinian neighbors. Though it is not a strictly racial bigotry, it is still an ethnic bigotry. And if the term 'Apartheid' does not strictly apply I would suggest the Palestinians coin their own term for what is happening to their people.
