    a reminder that during the previous missile exchange with Iran. one bomb feel on an Israeli arab town killing one arab man. Israelis laughed and mocked his death and was spun as a propaganda win for Israel…

    Because Arabs who are Israeli citizens are not really Israeli citizens. they still pay taxes and are expected to join the IOF, and used as “can’t be apartheid, there are arab Israelis with equal rights” BS.

    And that not even considering the Jewish Israeli arabs. who are no longer considered Arabs, they are called mizrachim. and are far down the racial hierarchy, above beta Israel, who are all above non Jewish minorities, who are above Palestinians who aren’t considered humans.

      Jewish Israelis are systematically blocking access to bomb shelters for minority groups. Essentially, if you’re not Jewish, you are not guaranteed access to protection from incoming missiles — also read: Apartheid

      We saw the same depraved behaviour during the 12-day war of 2025. Israelis kicked out Palestinian citizens of Israel, Africans, Thai workers, and even poor Israeli settlers from less affluent neighbourhoods.

      The Israeli government does not provide Palestinians living in the occupied territories with the same protection that they do for Israelis. This includes failing to build bomb shelters in Arab towns.

      Over half of Palestinian citizens of Israel do not have access to shelters and are often denied entry.

      To make matters worse, Israel designed the Iron Dome to purposefully exclude Palestinian towns coming under attack.


      This is from the article. Can you remove the banner from your user page. It’s a bit gross to put a Free Palestine image when 80% of your comments are in defense of Israel and it’s apartheid genocidal regime.

        Well, no, hes right, that alone is not evidence of apartheid statism. Rich dickheads around the world get special treatment no matter where they are.

          Right, so if we were literally born yesterday and statelesz’s comment was literally the only information loaded into our brains about this story then yes, this would not be sufficient evidence. And as a Zionist, statelesz voluntarily lives in a state of being perpetually born yesterday…but I suspect you and I are smarter than that.

          Combined with all our prior knowledge of the history and practices of Pissrael (or even just Pissrael’s behavior in the past few years would be enough), this fact absolutely is evidence within context of there being an apartheid state in Pissrael.
