The irony

• Today Zionism is compared by some..to Racism
  However Zionism was created in order to protect
  Jews from Violent forms of racism and

Immigration to Israel

• I was confused as to why Israel is called a
  racist state, and why some circles refer to
  Zionism as Racism and even compares Israel to
  Apartheid South Africa
• If Israel is like Apartheid South Africa, why do
  we have
• Arab Knesset Members?
• Arab Captains of Israeli Soccer teams?
• Arab singers gaining the most amount of votes in
  a israeli reality TV show?
• Arab Authors?
• Arab Doctors treating Jewish Patients and Visa
  Versa?
• Etc

• Racist.
