Remember the recent furore, and the fury unleashed, when President Jimmy Carter claimed Israel in many of its actions was practicing apartheid? The usual suspects, notably people like the abhorrent Alan Dershowitz, accused Carter of all sorts of things, from being anti-semitic to being ignorant. AIPAC and the ADL weighed in in attacking Carter.
So, how are the attackers going to deal with a senior editor at Haaretz accusing Israel of being an apartheid State? - as JTA reports:
"The Arab affairs editor for the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, Danny Rubinstein, told participants at a United Nations conference in Brussels Thursday that Israel is an apartheid state.
"Today Israel is an apartheid state with different status for different communities," Rubinstein said, according to observers at the event, which is being held at the European Parliament. Observers also quoted Rubinstein, a prominent columnist and member of the newspaper's editorial board, as saying: "Hamas won the election of the international community and Israel cannot ignore that."
Rubinstein was one of the few Israelis speaking among a sea of Palestinian activists at a United Nations conference entitled "International Conference of Civil Society in Support of Israeli-Palestine Peace."
The conference, say some attendees and Israel advocacy groups, is merely a smokescreen for anti-Israel rhetoric by the United Nations committee for Palestinian rights, which has a long history of attacking Israel and blaming all Palestinian woes on Israelis."
