US Presbyterian Church declares Israel 'apartheid state', create Nakba remembrance day
The US Presbyterian Church declared Israel an 'apartheid state' and voted to designate a Nakba remembrance day within their calendars at the church's 225th General Assembly.
The church claims over 1.7 million members.
Its Committee on International Engagement passed a resolution recognising that “Israel’s laws, policies and practices regarding the Palestinian people fulfil the international legal definition of apartheid”, according to a statement on the Presbyterian Church’s website.
The committee also called for an end to Israel's siege of Gaza and affirmed the “right of all people to live and worship peacefully” in Jerusalem.
Out of 31 voting members, 28 agreed with the resolution, which states that Israel was practicing apartheid by “establishing two sets of laws, one for Israelis and one for Palestinians, which give preferential treatment to Israeli Jews and oppressive treatment to Palestinians”.
A resolution designating 15 May as the Palestinian Nakba Remembrance – commemorating the tragedy whereby 750,000 Palestinians were expelled for the creation of Israel in 1948 - was also approved.

Good for them.
I used to love Israel.
But the way they have treated the Palestinians is disgusting.
They ARE the 21'st century Apartheid.

I can't speak for the past 70 years.
All I know is that since 1982 - when the Butcher of Beirut (that fat fuck) let the terrorists into the camps to massacre innocent civilians - it has become obvious that many, right wing Israeli's clearly have a hatred for Palestinians.
Possibly on the same scale that Nazi Germany did for Jews...which is mega-ironic.
