‘Why?’ I Asked the Soldier. ‘It’s an Order–This Is a Jews-Only Road’

Of course it’s apartheid, says Shulamit Aloni, former Israeli Education Minister. And every Palestinian village is a detention camp.

"Apartheid" has the virtue of being honest. The "separateness" of the Palestinians is being sold to the Dupes of Zion as "self-defence".

Gil, I like your phrase–"Dupes of Zion." If someone ever writes a book exposing the secret neo-conservative agenda, I've got just the title for him–"Protocols of the Dupes of Zion."

In the US, they just throw everyone in jail:

Compared with other countries, the United States has among the highest incarceration rates in the world. More people are behind bars in the United States than any other country. As of 2006, a record 7 million people were behind bars, on probation or on parole. Of the total 2.2 million were incarcerated. China ranks second with 1.5million followed by Russia with 870,000. The United States has 5 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's incarcerated population.

At other forums, I have been told outright by those who want you to believe they know of Israel or said that they had been to Israel that the "Jews-only road" claim was a lie.

In a sense, I guess they were telling the truth in that the lie was claiming it did not exist.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Where is the illustrious Bill Peralman to either deny this in fact is happening or to argue why this is a valid practice (including the lying about it)?
