I don&#8217;t think it is an accurate charge, but I saw nothing evil in apartheid. It allowed for the most prosperous state in all of Africa. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time the goyim buck up and stop worrying about minority sensibilities and instead pursue their group interest as passionately as Jews, blacks, Chinese and others tribesmen do. Jews, without shame, run a Jewish state of Israel and the goyim can lump it if they don&#8217;t like it. I think that&#8217;s great. I love Jewish nationalism. <\/p>\n<p>I wish South Africans whites were as devoted to maintaining their white society as Jews are in carving out a Jewish state.

Jewish leaders are fuming over the comparison.<br \/>\nIf there\u2019s no two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict soon, Israel risks becoming \u201can apartheid state,\u201d Secretary of State John Kerry told a room of influential world leaders in a closed-door meeting Friday.<br \/>\nSenior American officials have rarely, if ever, used the term \u201capartheid\u201d in reference to Israel, and President Obama has previously rejected the idea that the word should apply to the Jewish state. Kerry&#8217;s use of the loaded term is already rankling Jewish leaders in America\u2014and it could attract unwanted attention in Israel, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I notice Jews getting up in arms about John Kerry&#8217;s statements on Holocaust Memorial Day.
