Jewish extremists, indulged by the Jewish state, think they’re in Nazi Germany
Gender apartheid is growing in Israel (but not, as per Leslie Cannold in today’s Sydney Morning Herald, just between Jews but far more profoundly against Arabs, something she conveniently ignores). This is what Zionism has created: Israeli leaders criticized a haredi Orthodox demonstration in which protesters wore yellow stars to indicate that they are being…
When far Right hearts Zionism, sensible folk run (yet so many Jews are smiling)

If this isn’t Zionist apartheid, then what is part 553222?
Haaretz uncovers an important document: Israel’s Civil Administration issues 101 different types of permits to govern the movement of Palestinians, whether within the West Bank, between the West Bank and Israel or beyond the borders of the state, according to an agency document of which Haaretz obtained a copy.
