Spot the Road Less Traveled

I don’t know what it is about roads lately, but they do seem to be looming large in my world.

Today’s road, is a speech given at a Canadian university by an Israeli Arab Knesset member for the infamous Israel Apartheid Week celebrations held across universities all over North America. I am quoting the Ynet News account.

Israeli democracy was built on the 1948 transfer, said MK Jamal Zahalka of the National Democratic Assembly (NDA) in a speech in a Canadian University during Israel Apartheid Week last Wednesday. Zahalka, the keynote speaker of the event, criticized Israeli democracy, saying it was plagued with demographic frenzy and legislated racist laws such as the Citizenship Law that prevents family unification.

According to an NDA affiliated website, Arabs48.com, Zahalka said that the situation in the West Bank and Gaza is far worse than the South African apartheid ever was, since unlike South Africa, Israel is also separating between Palestinians.

"Israel is implementing apartheid policies in Palestine by building the apartheid separation wall, bypass roads for Jews only in the West Bank, restrictions on movement of Palestinians, hundreds of checkpoints, in addition to the siege and daily violation of basic human rights of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza,” the event's official website reported Zahlaka saying.

I am seriously starting to question whether any Israeli Arab Knesset members possess any sense of irony, humour or history.

Anyhow, award yourself 10 points for every outright fib, five points for every hyperbolic statement and an additional 2 points for every embellishment. The winner gets to keep their self-respect in tact.
