Genocide is what Hamas wants to do.

And no i don't think Israel did nothing wrong, its not apartheid however.

"Broadly speaking, apartheid was delineated into petty apartheid, which entailed the segregation of public facilities and social events, and grand apartheid, which dictated housing and employment opportunities by race."

How is it not apartheid?

Edit: wait a minute, why am I arguing with two cookie-based accounts that are pro-Israel and less than a week old on this thread...

Chomsky called it worse than apartheid and that was in 2014

There is a documentary called roadmap to apartheid that compares side by side what happened in south Africa and what continues to happen everyday to the Palestinians.

I highly recommend it, it is hard to watch though.

As much as I agree, Chomsky is no trustworthy source on what is or isn't a genocide

The man has bent himself in so many knots denying what happened in the yugoslav wars that I'm pretty sure Bosnia would actively refuse to prosecute if someone shot the bastard in broad daylight in the middle of Sarajevo.

genocide is what some people on both sides want to do and it's sad that they are influential enough that no resolution of this conflict is in sight in my lifetime -.-
