Yeah I don't know why supporting modern apartheid gets you a box storm either
And if any fucking nation other then Israel had a blockade as large as they do, they would get so many ships and troops on their shores.

[QUOTE=Wikipedia]
Following the 1947 United Nations plan to partition Palestine, on 14 May 1948 David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared Israel a state independent from the British Mandate for Palestine. Neighboring Arab states invaded the next day in support of the Palestinian Arabs.

[QUOTE=Wikipedia]
Arab nationalists led by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser refused to recognize Israel, and called for its destruction. By 1966, Israeli-Arab relations had deteriorated to the point of actual battles taking place between Israeli and Arab forces. In 1967, Egypt expelled UN peacekeepers, stationed in the Sinai Peninsula since 1957, and announced a partial blockade of Israel's access to the Red Sea. In May 1967 a number of Arab states began to mobilize their forces. Israel saw these actions as a casus belli. On 5 June 1967, Israel launched a pre-emptive strike against Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq. In a Six-Day War, Israeli military superiority was clearly demonstrated against their more numerous Arab foes. Israel succeeded in capturing the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights.

Who was supporting apartheid?

Okay. So who was supporting Isreal's actions towards the Palestinians?

And you can find equally monstrous videos of Palestinians beating up Israelis.
[QUOTE=Retardation;34446028]I haven't said that the way our government treats Palestinians is in any way okay or justified.
But you cant go as far as to say that it's an apartheid state. I saw some guy even claim that we're just as bad as Nazi Germany and got dozens of agrees.[/QUOTE]
This. In comparison to its neighbors Israel is much more democratic than its neighbors, being the only country in the Middle East to be rated as a "flawed democracy" on the Democracy Index. Naturally the name leaves a bittersweet taste though.
And to present an alternate viewopint to the apartheid analogy:
[quote=Wikipedia]Opponents of the analogy state that the West Bank and Gaza are not part of sovereign Israel and are governed by the Palestinian Authority, so cannot be compared to the internal policies of apartheid South Africa, and that restrictions are only imposed on those territories by Israel for reasons of security.[12][13] In regards to the situation within Israel itself, critics of the analogy argue that Israel cannot accurately be called an apartheid state because Israeli law guarantees Arab citizens of Israel the same rights as other Israeli citizens without distinction of race, creed or sex.[14][15][16][17][18] They also note that Israel's Arab citizens can and do run in elections and become ministers in the Israeli government.[19] Some critics consider the analogy defamatory and reflecting a double standard when applied to Israel and not neighboring Arab countries, whose policies towards their own Palestinian minority have been described as discriminatory.[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Some opponents of the analogy say it is a manifestation of anti-semitism[/quote]

Doesn't mean I am supporting or condemning the analogy, just throwing it in for a bit of perspective.
That soldier sucks at beating, he slapped him with his hands like a whore.
Israel is like the last country actively practicing colonialism.
