why were they firing at us from the very day israel left gaza?.....30 rockets that first night and almost daily after that, doesnt matter who was in charge....and they're still shooting at us. Perhaps you can explain why? or is there some kind of "ghost apartheid" in gaza. Given your flexible word definitions, i see no reason why you shouldn't claim gaza is still under apartheid.
Jordan?
I mean, the border with Jordan? The country hasn't even been vaguely threatening to Israel in recent memory
I bet a year ago you would have said the same thing about egypt? and already attacks have come from the Egyptian border both on the ground and via rockets.
Syria...
3 years ago, who would have thought that jihad and friends might take over syria....who knows whats in store for israel..hints are coming with the weekly mortar attack from syria on to israel.
funny thing about dictatorships...they're not to stable and jordan is not a democracy, nor is gaza nor apparently will the PA be (looking at its present structure, laws etc)
_____
and of course you didnt justify your pushing for a society that has already stated in word and deed that is against the western values and has in its foundation documents apartheid type laws (all theocratic states have such laws) as in the PA....so how can you justify that?
________
your comparison to of S.Africe and Anglola to Israel's environment really doesnt make it does it?
and the water?
there is no question that the Palestenians are getting screwed with the water, but their govt is not some innocent victim here
I view the PA as govt that in fact does have responsibility and hence has a very active part in the water distribution in the west bank. However if your one of those that claims "victimhood" allows the victim to claim no responsibility no matter what they do (its like claiming blacks cant be racists), then israel gets all the blame....
