"in depth self-reflection on our sins" - total BS. What effing sins? Really, what are you mate? What a lot of mamby-pamby BS. I tell you what - people like you drag yourself and the country down writing and talking BS like that - seriously - really stupid stuff. .. and by the way Liebermann is the BEST thing your country has got - we outsiders know what left-wing twits and muslim fanatics are up to. Just leave Israel - its too scary for you honey

Gadi Taub writes a very good article..thought provoking. Towards the end Mr. Taub writes that Israel could end up like South Africa. I should like further clarification on this ..in which area will Israel end up like South Africa? Awaiting an answer. Molli (Lewis)

I wonder if Israel knows what clemintines are they have skins easier to peel than oranges a visit to Israel is a real education about how a country surrounded by a world that wants to destroy them live I do not think it is Israel but the world that is the Aparthied system against Israel but of course reverse English is like reverse Israel meant to make Israel look bad events in Egypt Iraq Afghanistan Lebanon show that the Arabs themselfs suffer from their own Aparthied system thus it is not Israel alone who does these things but merely following orders from above RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.

And put every Israeli Jew there who is NOT a settler, in the same sense the Arab refugees are refugees. That is, retroactively a couple of generations. I agree the Israeli official hasbara should be incredibly much sharper. Let Caroline Glick and Melanie Phillips write it, make videos of it. Let people get plain facts by laughing, the age-old black Jewish humor. Yes, it is strange that it takes a "settler" in the foreign minister to be the Israeli leader who sounds the most as the good old ones before Oslo. Now we only wish for one in the defence ministry too.

1.- Gadi Taub is not saying he thinks Israel is an apartheid state (which it is NOT by any stretch of the imagination), he is saying that public perception, incorrect as it is, is shifting towards that. 2.- If you people want to express disagreement, by all means do, this is the right forum, but why do you have to use insulting, rude language? NOT NECESSARY!!

Facts are a group of people with a specious claim based on some book that cannot be verified or brought into a court of law (The Bible) cut a deal with someone that was NOT legally the owners of the land (Palestine) but occupiers themselves (The Brutish, that's not a typo) and decided they were going to take someone else's land over. This is EXACTLY like apartheid South Africa, the Western Hemisphere and most definitely exactly like the story of the USA. The Philistines (The Real lineage of the people called "Palestinians"). Until such time as the people that have been persecuted throughout history (Always for their business practices, never for just their religion) stop persecuting the Palestinians, your image in the world will always be crap.
