Is just completely wrong: For example if you're now Jewish, you are by law literally not allowed to drive on highways.
Is reactionistic speculation and literally racist.
Omegalul, downvoted for being right.
Please check your facts, this is completely wrong. People of all religions enjoy equal rights in Israel. There are Muslims, Christians, and others in government positions, in the police and army, judges, and in every other sector. Movement and transportation is not limited to anyone, especially not based on religion. Please don't lie.
"In a 2007 report, U.N. Special Rapporteur for Palestine John Dugard wrote, "elements of the Israeli occupation constitute forms of colonialism and of apartheid, which are contrary to international law" and suggested that the "legal consequences of a prolonged occupation with features of colonialism and apartheid" be put to the International Court of Justice."
"On 1 February 2022, Amnesty International published a report, Israel's Apartheid Against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime Against Humanity, which stated that Israeli practices in Israel and the occupied territories equate to apartheid and that territorial fragmentation of the Palestinians 'serves as a foundational element of the regime of oppression and domination' "
this is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_apartheid
Another thing from this article is this; "Foreign governments who have used the word "apartheid" to describe the situation in Israel or in the Israeli-occupied territories include those of Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela" I know that quoting this may be unsupportive to my argument at first, because I don't like these countries at all, and I am not pro Hamas because I don't want any religion to govern the rest anyway, but I think what one really can see in this is, that this topic is so polarized, that it's very hard to find the truth and that is why I quoted the UN part
And here is the issue I described: https://www.france24.com/en/20190204-focus-israel-palestinian-territories-apartheid-road-highway-4370-jerusalem-segregation
