Even the most rudimentary investigation – five minutes at most – would expose the absurdity of those accusations. But taking that five minutes was apparently too much for a large percentage of American Jewry.

Let's take the genocide charge. Between 1967 and 1992, when Israel was in full control of the West Bank – life expectancy among the Palestinian residents increased fifty percent, from 48 to 72, and infant mortality declined 75%. If that is genocide – a deliberate attempt to eliminate a people – it was certainly genocide of a most peculiar kind, one in which the putative victims prospered.

Over that same period, Israel built seven universities in the West Bank, where none had previously existed, and by 1992, the West Bank economy was the fourth fastest growing in the world.

My friend has just returned home after a nearly three-week stay in Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital. Over half the nurses who attended to her, and the doctor most closely involved with supervising her case, were Arabs. How many whites under South African apartheid do American Jews think were treated in hospital by black doctors and nurses?

Arabs are represented in Israeli universities in exact accord with their percentage of the population -- a degree of "equity" not achieved by racial minorities in the United States. And an Arab party is a member of the current governing coalition.

Again, if this be apartheid, it is apartheid of a most peculiar kind.

Great post @Trumper.
Sadly, posters like @MirCat seem to search for whatever they can find in their ongoing attempts to denigrate Israel.
