Given historical trends the people in the ghettos are people who do not have control of the government of the region. Who do you think has better control of the region, Palestine barely holding itself together or Isreal with monitary and military backing of the united states?
Go check out who Mahmoud Abas is and where he lives and come back to discuss how Palestine is barely holding itself together.
Yeah, the bourgeois ruling class lives in luxury while common people live in relative squalor. This is nothing new.
Using the living conditions of the ruling class to represent the general state of a country is extremely dishonest.
If Palestine is as well of as you are you are trying to insinuate you would have used the living conditions of the masses rather than exclusively pointing to the most powerful man in the country to make your point.
Wait, if you agree that their "ruling class" is living in splendor. Where is your apartheid argument? Shouldn't you be critisizing the Palestinian ruling class for not taking care of the general state of their country?
