Come on. Claiming the Gregorian calendar or Scandinavian flags are discriminatory is stupid and no one sane argues those symbols are discriminatory. Any loon doing so wouldn't be taken seriously by anyone of importance. I don't think you even believe a Hebrew Calendar and Star of David Flag is discriminatory and if you claim Christian calendars and flags aren't discriminatory but Jewish ones are, then you're the one with the problem.

Another stupid claim by Adalah is that a law that grants benefits to Jewish soldiers is discriminatory because Arabs aren't required to serve in the army like Jews or Druze. The thing is Arabs CAN serve if they want, they're just not required to do so. I want to see you acknowledge this doozy because you'd definitely be against Israel requiring Arabs to serve in its military. Israel gives them a choice due to many who want to avoid fighting fellow Palestinians. Now seriously - if you believe it's discriminatory for Israel not to require Arabs to serve in its military, then give an intelligent reason as to why. I want to see you argue for Israel making military service mandatory for all Arab citizens of Israel. Go on...

Give up yet? I just re-opened that thread since you were so anxious to debate those "discriminatory" laws.

As to Apartheid, you couldn't even present a dictionary definition of the term that would demonstrate how what Israel does (in contrast to any other liberal democracy) falls under the definition of Apartheid. You know full well there's no such thing as Apartheid based on nationality, and that's the best you could argue since the W.Bank situation isn't about race, ethnicity, or religion....meaning no Apartheid.
