Where is the Apartheid?
“Apartheid is the state of being forcefully apart.
Under an apartheid regime, a disfavoured group suffers under the yoke of policies and rules that keep it segregated from, and under the heel of, the favoured group.”
This well describes how the ruling terrorist group Hamas and the undemocratic Palestinian Authority, rule over their constituents; no Jews allowed! It is total and absolute segregation. How has this been missed by the press for decades? 21% of Israelis are Arabs while 0% of Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza, Disputed Territories under the PA, Syria, Egypt, and many other Muslim countries are Jewish and now most Christians are gone too. These countries had large Jewish populations, and all were forcibly driven out, citizenship revoked, property confiscated, and no remuneration offered, no UN agency established, no donor country funds provided, and no media interested.

Palestinian Apartheid Week on Campuses in Canada?
Isn’t it time to correct the fallacious claims by our enemies? Ilan Sinelnikov provided a strategy for challenging the lies-presenting truth. Will Canadian students act and initiate the obvious, Palestinian Apartheid Week? Community organizations like CAEF, Stand with Us, Hasbara Fellowships and others could help with planning and resources, and ensure the students were not isolated or alone. The university student government and administration would have to allow it as they allow the hateful, distorted, Israel Apartheid Week programs and have done so for over 17 years now, since this hate fest was originated at U of T. Why wait?

Some Important Messages to Share, Post, Print, Publicize
The Temple Mount Tumult
It is well documented but poorly reported in the mass media that the entire terror driven rioting in and around the Temple Mount during Ramadan, which this year coincided with Passover, was driven by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Messages were interpreted and shared by Arab language-interpreting entities like Palestinian Media Watch, the Bedein Center for Near East Policy Research, and others. Every day, the calls came for Arabs to desecrate their own mosque, to attack Jews, to lie to the media and to drum up more hatred towards Israel and Israelis.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett actually challenged noted CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Israel’s handling of the clashes on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, when in an interview that was broadcast, he said : “There you go again starting the story in the middle,” as she asked loaded questions about why the IDF went to the Temple Mount to arouse Arab anger.
Bennett noted police entered the mosque after (ed. emphasis) rocks were hurled from it toward officers. He said, “My responsibility as prime minister of Israel is to provide freedom of prayer for everyone in Jerusalem, including Muslims, which is why I had to send in policemen to remove the rioters and it worked,” he said.
“When faced with violence you have to act tough,” he added.
What was astounding, while not actually surprising, was to hear an internationally lauded journalist repeat lies, push a line that blames Israel for its own victimhood, mischaracterizes the terrorism and then simply repeats in denigrating language all the falsehoods about what happened. Actual videos show that the Arabs threw rocks, that they stored incendiary devices and boulders in the mosque and actually destroyed its interior, then hurled these weapons at Jews in prayer, at police in uniform. How was this not seen by the “liberal media”?
Bennett goes so far as to point out the interviewer is lying and she resents it supremely, but what else would one call it? Here is the excerpt and a photo showing fiery device being tossed from the mosque:
“What you’ve been projecting is blatantly false,” he said. “It’s a lie, simply a lie.” “No, sir, you cannot say that to me,” she retorted. “You cannot tell me I’m lying.”

There Really is No Justification for UNRWA to Continue
Her
e is what the Palestinian Liberation Organization, a designated terrorist entity argues for the ongoing, never-ending, money-sucking, justification for the continuation of one refugee agency for one group rather than having all refugees served by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHRC) which cares for millions of other refugees and has the goal of settling refugees safely and expediently in other countries if they cannot return to their home country.
“Preserving UNRWA means preserving the right of refugees to return [to their homes] and [receive] compensation in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, and maintaining UNRWA is an important stabilizing factor and a guaranteeing factor for a development process to achieve the sustainable development goals that must include Palestinian refugees.”
This is an abomination. It calls for money to keep Palestinian Arabs in perpetual refugee status, to have them continue to reject any possible settlement in other countries. No Arab country has rushed to settle them, notwithstanding that millions are in camps in Lebanon, Jordan and also Syria. And they are the same people, as there is no distinct Palestinian ethnicity. That UNRWA might cease to exist would actually begin to solve the entire problem, first by defining who really is a refugee, by pointing out that the PA and Hamas also maintain “refugee camps” which is an outrage, discriminating amongst their own people in order to elicit tears and contrition from the West and liberal minded, human rights advocates. Question--if Arabs are living in Judea and Samaria, which they claim is their land, then how do they justify claiming refugee status?

There is a First for Every Thing—UN Human Rights Council Ousted a Bad State
If the UN Human Rights Council which is overfilled with tyrants and terrorists has finally taken action against one of its own stalwart non-defenders of human rights ie Russia, and tossed this member out due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, then surely the Council can toss out other abusers of human rights. This is not likely as the majority of its voting country members on the Council are human rights abusers. The UNHRC is pre-occupied most of the time with damning Israel, creating accusations and falsifying the facts. This time, they got it right; so maybe there is hope?
If you have not yet sent a submission to the Commission of Inquiry (Pillay's Inquisition) which will report soon on their investigation into Israel’s abuse of Palestinian Arabs, a claim that precludes investigation since the conclusion was formed before the investigation to ensure the report is replete with stories of abuse. They are not investigating the other side, only what they can “imagine” onto Israel. For more information, click here

Why no action Mr. Prime Minister and Ms Foreign Affairs Minister?
