Reply #38: Israel vs Greater Israel [View All]

Israel is a democracy, greater Israel is not a democracy. Given the situation of the illegal settlements, Israel is actually greater Israel and many political organizations in greater Israel are excluded from participating in the government due to race, culture or religion.

The Yesha Council, paid and supported by the Israeli Government, describes Greater Israel as follows:

The legal right of Jews settling in Tel Aviv is the same as that of Jews settling in the areas which were conquered in the Six Day War.

This confirms that Greater Israel is not a democracy and Greater Israel is indeed an apartheid state.

Since so many people refuse to recognize that Greater Israel is not a democracy and that aparteid exists in Greater Israel, the criticism of the British people regarding the situation in Greater Israel is properly placed.

Israel, being Greater Israel and a non-democratic apartheid state is further confirmed by the Likud Platform with the following statement:

The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting.

The evidence is there, most people recognize it and understand the problem. Nevertheless, many people see it but denounce it even though they know that they are wrong by believing that greater Israel is a democracy and not an apartheid state.
