It’s sad that I feel the need to write this disclaimer, but: I am proudly Jewish. I am Israeli. I don’t think calling Israel an apartheid state is remotely close to antisemitic. I think those who *do* think so are gaslighting Palestinians & refusing to stare reality in the face.

@edokonrad Your wrong on this one- the 'Apartheid' term has been weaponized by many, including Rep Tlaib, to smear anything Israel as uniquely evil. So it is fair play to then call certain usage of the term Antisemitic.

@Abushachar Stop trying to portray @RashidaTlaib as an antisemite who is “weaponizing apartheid” and start recognizing that her family in Palestine live under an apartheid system.

@edokonrad I'm not Israeli, and after a lifetime of hasbara, it was really hard to get to the point where I could say it -- I kept pointing out the differences from South Africa. But I can't anymore. It shouldn't have taken me so long.

@edokonrad @AbbyChavaStein If Israel is an apartheid state then so is Syria, so is Saudi Arabia, so is Yemen, Egypt, etc. The entire Mideast is an apartheid state. That's the whole problem.

@edokonrad @CaitDoire "The illegal settler outpost has running water. Its Palestinian neighbours don't. This is apartheid at its starkest." This heart-breaking article by Gideon Levy and Alex Levac makes it very clear why Israel is an #apartheid state.

@edokonrad thank you Edo.. but don't you think that being "Israeli" automatically includes being part of an apartheid system? as the creation of 'Israel' itself depended on ethnic cleansing and the removal of indigenous ppl to replace them with colonial settlers.

@edokonrad That is certainly a minority opinion, but I believe it is the correct one. Hard to know how Israeli policies will play out.

@edokonrad @iyad_elbaghdadi I think anyone who can't separate out criticism for a policy or mindset from identifying with or feeling affection for a people have never paid much attention to family dynamics.

@edokonrad THANK YOU. Having people invalidate my very real experiences living under occupation and apartheid in the West Bank is very discouraging.

@edokonrad Do you understand the concept of a principle? State a principle, and apply it to more than one group, and it can be a fair assessment. When the “principle” continually changes, and is applied to one side only, that is bigotry. If the bigotry is to Jews, it is anti-semitism
