Carl,

Your diversion is NOT MY note.  In ADDITION to Israel, do address
apartheid ALSO in those other countries -- if AWARE is is not about
you and your memories, if AWARE is about apartheid.  Is it?  And try
to become also accurate rather than just supporting bigots.

Palestinians Arabs in Israel and Israelis equally share the same bus,
hospital, school, university system.  Palestinian Arabs are allowed to
purchase apartments in Israel. Omar Barghouti, founder of BDS is a
student at the University of Tel Aviv, using its resources to
propagate BDS.

What exactly are YOU calling apartheid in Israel? aren't you confusing
something?

Nillofar sent examples to systemic exceptions worth inquiring, and I
shared them with the list.  Let's try, just try, to make AWARE about
accurate human rights issues.

And try to loose your habit of tagging people as 'defenders of Israel'
 or 'Germans' and alike, reducing their opinions.  This tagging seems
an Internet way of sticking stars of David.
