Mansour Abbas, as part of Israel’s ruling coalition, is living proof that Israel is not an apartheid state. Meanwhile, how many non-Muslims are in positions of authority or part of the governing group in Sharia states? Right.
“Arab party leader in Israel rejects ‘apartheid’ label,” by Joseph Krauss, Associated Press, February 10, 2022:
JERUSALEM — The head of an Arab party in Israel who made history last year by joining the governing coalition said Thursday he would not use the word “apartheid” to describe relations between Jews and Arabs within the country.
Amnesty International last week joined two other well-known human rights groups in saying that Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians within its borders and in the occupied territories amounts to apartheid.

Maybe Mansour Abbas could speak and explain how Israel is not a “Apartheid State” to the “good Moslems” elected to the American congress from American,s midwestern states? Israel is the only place in the Middle East that respect human rights ,has free speech, the right to practice any religion ,equal rights for employment ,a growing class of middle class Moslems, good health care for rich and poor people ,a good education for all people. One of the few countries in the Middle East that people are trying to emigrate to instead of escape from .A Moslem of modest means living in Israel has more rights better health care, a chance for better education for his children ,a longer life span ,a brighter future then in any Moslem major country in the world.
