Arab-Israelis participate in the society, economy, and government of Israel. The same cannot be said for the black Africans of apartheid South Africa.

Beyond all that… the original post was about Hezbollah, a group that operates against Israel from Lebanon. You immediately jumped to the Palestinians, who support the radical, militant, terrorist group Hamas. Hamas conducts terrorist actions against Israel, and have been branded with the title “terrorist organization” for their actions.

Having said all that, I would remind you that I left it to the reader to pick the title that suits them:

I would suggest, however, that anyone living with or among the jihadists/terrorists/”militants” are not innocent, and (according to the recent SCOTUS ruling, apparently) not civilians. They’re support troops. They’re human shields. They’re enablers.

My point and opinion remain, unchanged.

Thank you for your comment.

Did you not know that there is currently an apartheid in Israel/Palestine?

The term “Terrorist” which you and others use so loosley is becoming the red flag for ignorant labeling to which the American people are catching on. The proof of this is well illustrated in in a statement from wikipedia on the Iraeli-Palestian Conflict where it says,

Conversely, those sympathetic to Israeli military action and other Israeli measures against the Palestinians tend to view these actions as legitimate Israeli self-defense against a campaign of terrorism perpetrated by Palestinian groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and others, and supported by other states in the region and by the majority of the Palestinians, at least those Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens.”

(Wikipedia.org)

Americans have slowly but surely begun to learn that these labels have been a way to deceive them into ignorant racism and hatred.

There is no way to bring the West up to speed on issues that pre-date US foreign policy overnight. But I am sure that over-time the American people will figure it out and justice will prevail.
