Define Apartheid
BREAKING: I have warned for months of the refusal, across much of Israel’s political spectrum, to recognise Palestinian citizens as legitimate coalition partners. Now, with unprecedented participation and a projected 19 of 120 Knesset seats, even the legitimacy of their electoral gains is being challenged.
The Central Election Committee, chaired by Justice Noam Sohlberg, a settler from Alon Shvut, instructs David Zini, the Director of the Israeli Security Agency to investigate bogus allegations.
There is no independent judiciary or impartial civil service in Israel, and nothing but a facade of democracy which it struggles to maintain.
With that, the danger of post-election political violence is no longer remote. I fear it may be approaching.

If she was wearing a Hijab and said the same things about Israelis, she'd be on the FBI's Most Wanted List. Instead, she's just an "innocent" girl from Texas who now lives on occupied Palestinian land. Ethnosupremacy is a hell of a drug.

“I am from the city of Izra in Daraa.
This is a church, and this is a mosque. We have Christians here, possibly more than all the Christians in Jordan.
For 14 years, I swear by Almighty Allah, not a single crime of a sectarian nature has occurred here in Daraa.
Where did this terrorism you speak of come from, King of Jordan?!
If you, King of Jordan, want to show the international community that you are the protector of minorities, do not do it at our expense and at the expense of our childrens blood.
Even if I accepted your claims and believed that the terrorists came from here, the churches of Houran are closer than Karak in Jordan!!!!
Finally, a message to the Syrian government:
If you are incapable of protecting our dignity, leave us alone. We will take up arms again in the south and start a revolution all over again.”

Five of those killed were members of one family, including 3 children, in the village of Lutf in al-Lajat area of Daraa countryside.
4- Jordanian King Abdullah posted on X:
“Our brave men have pursued them into their hideouts. We said the terrorists would not escape punishment, and neither would anyone whose ideology seeks to divide Jordanians. May Allah have mercy on the martyrs, heal the wounded, and protect our homeland and people from all evil and harm.”
