I literally googled that and this was the top result.
“Hebron is home to approximately 200,000 Palestinians, as well as 700 or so Jewish settlers. However, 20 percent of the city is under direct Israeli control, and Palestinians living in it, or passing through it, are subjected to checkpoints and a ban from travelling on several main streets, unlike the Jewish settlers.”
Yes! Exactly! There are 200 thousand people living in hebron and Seven Hundred of them are Jews. Who do you think lives in a ghetto there?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying these settlers aren’t assholes who may throw trash or rocks, I’m sure many other cities have communities of assholes. But making this out to be apartheid?! Come on.
Given historical trends the people in the ghettos are people who do not have control of the government of the region. Who do you think has better control of the region, Palestine barely holding itself together or Isreal with monitary and military backing of the united states?
Yeah, the bourgeois ruling class lives in luxury while common people live in relative squalor. This is nothing new.
Using the living conditions of the ruling class to represent the general state of a country is extremely dishonest.
If Palestine is as well of as you are you are trying to insinuate you would have used the living conditions of the masses rather than exclusively pointing to the most powerful man in the country to make your point.
Wait, if you agree that their “ruling class” is living in splendor. Where is your apartheid argument? Shouldn’t you be critisizing the Palestinian ruling class for not taking care of the general state of their country?

Uhhhhhhhh… This is meant to be ironic or…? Yes, pushing members of a minority group to live in a specific city/area densely packed primarily by themselves which they do not govern… is apartheid. I could say “Look, only 100 white people lived in X neighborhood while 100,000 black people lived there in South Africa! How is that apartheid?” and it’d sound pretty ridiculous.
Uhhhhhh… Hebron is mostly governed by the Palestinian authority. It is in fact their capital. Jewish people can’t really access most parts of the city. It’s actually pretty prosperous city which is what you get when you don’t devulge 100% of your funds developing terror infrastructure.

Go check out who Mahmoud Abas is and where he lives and come back to discuss how Palestine is barely holding itself together.

Does it hurt being this willfully stupid?
Man, it’s too bad those Jews are forced to live there. Just awful.
