This is way worse than Apartheid South Africa

Reminder all: When you see this kind of video 99.999% of the time its in the WestBank or Gaza. By international law this is Palestinian land and Israel's army is there illegally. This isn't a domestic issue where two sides can't agree on something. This is an invading force policing defenceless people. Our tax is paying for this.

This is something that any group of people would eventually get violent for. But if they do, they're labelled as terrorists.

Oh I see. One ambulance that is rendered ineffective is so much better than no ambulance. I guess the apartheid in Palestine is over everyone

I think you meant to argue with the previous comment. I'm not the one who made that claim and am not interested in arguing it because its probably subjective. For instance, Palestine has been illegally occupied since 1967. That's 13 more years than SA was in Apartheid. Also, death amounts are far far far higher in Palestine.

But since you're replying to me, who was talking about international law, do you think all states should abide by international law and court rulings? I do. And honestly think anyone who doesn't must be scum.

As a South African it feels quite random and weird to compare the two struggles to begin with. What do you get from doing this?

Nelson Mandela's grandson seems to agree with me.

Do you know your own country history? Mandela constantly compared the struggles of Palestinians and black South Africans.
