"Richard J. Goldstone’s article splits hairs to rob us of language that accurately describes the Palestinians’ repression. Why is it “important first to distinguish between the situations in Israel ... and in West Bank areas”? If Alabama had segregated in Montgomery but not in Birmingham, would it have been responsible for discrimination or not? But the most appalling insult to logic is the claim that there can be no apartheid because Israel has no “intention of maintaining” its regime of “domination by one racial group.” It’s a fact on the ground, but we can’t call it by its name because Israel means well?
