Not sure i would equate the Israeli Government with German Nazis but i would be inclined to make a comparison with South African Apartheid

Aha, You forgot to mention the USA Apartheid system which started earlier and last longer than the German and the South African, it lasted  more than 400 years, and they passed a legal precedent known as Separated but equal, they were separated but they were not equalhttp://americanhistory.si.edu/brown/history/1-segregated/separate-but-equal.html. There are not professors of Constitutional Law able to explain this case without taking side with one of the parties involved, they will always favor toward the white peoples. They never had a  selective   Nuremberg trial, and they were never compensated, and every time that they have tried to file a claim the court system rejects their claims, and they do not have a promised landThey have not mentioned the Apartheid that  existed in some places called Bateyes where Haitian were placed separated from the rest of the population by the Puerto Rican Sugar Company  ( Known as Gulf and Western ) and they were living in worst conditions than animals, their diet was Brown sugar and water, and they owned all the money to the Grocery Stores known as Bodegas,  they did not have any medical attentions, unsanitary conditions, their houses were falling apart, they did not have any schools for the children, it ws a continuous cycle, their children became sugar cane cutters,  the South Africa Apartheid was a Child Care Center

Israel has begun working on a barrier off the Mediterranean coast to prevent infiltrations by sea from the Gaza strip, a fortified breakwater topped with barbed wire. Israel has begun working on a barrier off the Mediterranean coast to prevent infiltrations by sea from the Gaza strip.http://www.dw.com/en/israel-erecting-sea-barrier-to-prevent-gaza-infiltrators/a-43950834

And to prevent refugees from Africa. They want to deport all the peoples of African descendent living in Israel. Women are prohibited from having more children, or they try to control the African population in Israel. What has happened with the so-called Christian pro-life? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/world/wp/2018/03/05/feature/african-migrants-facing-deportation-in-israel/?utm_term=.bd53b14c8fe5http://www.africaw.com/israel-the-worst-place-for-african-immigrantsIt is clear that this is a racist decision because they are welcoming all the refugees from Europe, and they are giving dual Israeli citizenship to most of the rich peoples emigrating from Russia.  Many of them ( The African living in Israel )  are claiming that they are Jews and Israelite tooWhat is the difference between the cement wall and the barbed wall from the Berlin wall?  The so-called free  world is deaf-mute in front of this situation

Of over a hundred murders by its troops, Israel has chosen to release a video to discredit its killing of Razan al Najjar, a volunteer first-aider. They say Razan al Najjar is not the angel of mercy and that Hamas used her as a human shield and of course the video footage was edited to back this allegation up. Israel asks “Do medical personnel around the world throw bombs and participate in disturbances and call themselves human shields?“In the full clip, however, the young woman goes on to say she was present at the protests to “save the wounded at the front lines”. She does not mention Hamas.  In footage that has emerged since, she can be seen throwing a tear gas canister away from people lying on the ground. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/gaza-protests-latest-idf-condemned-edited-video-angel-of-mercy-medic-razan-al-najjar-a8389611.html

Another article worth a read – the manipulation of the Israeli publichttps://www.counterpunch.org/2018/06/11/have-you-been-brainwashed-about-gaza/

Quote:

Not a single one of the hundreds of TV news program presenters ever corrects such statements by correspondents. Because the directors, presenters, commentators and correspondents are themselves thoroughly brainwashed. The army spokesman knows the truth, of course, but he is a central cog in the brainwashing machine.

Is there any serious Journalism over the earth?  Israel is hunting the Palestinians like pigeons and the Journalists have lost their tongues

I was referring to Journalism in general. In Mexico and Colombia, the journalists are being killed

Interesting article on why Gaza has so many Palestinians.https://dissidentvoice.org/2018/06/necessity-to-expose-israels-self-indictments-in-gaza-protests/Also related to the rights of [Jewish] refugees to return upheld in Israeli courts

Quote:

Under Israeli law, Jews who can prove their families lived in East Jerusalem prior to 1948 can claim ownership rights to property. One, of many examples ─ in 2013, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Jewish person as owner of a house occupied by the Palestinian Shamasneh family for 50 years.

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2018/06/19/fallacy-israels-human-shields-claims-gazaIsrael justifies its violent attacks by continuously accusing Hamas of using human shields. By accusing Hamas of deploying human shields, Israel hopes to shift the blame from the hunter to the prey, since, according to international law, the party responsible for the death of human shields is not the one killing them but the one using them.

Gaza is one of the biggest concentration camps that exist in the 21st century

In the UK and the US we very rarely hear from Hamas directly so this interview may be helpful to understand the situationhttp://www.dw.com/en/hamas-official-on-gaza-bloodshed-not-expected-to-be-like-this/a-44319377My linking to it does not mean i am endorsing his comments but we should be aware of its content.I note that the Western-approved and supported Palestinian Authority are accused of more human rights violations than Hamas. The Independent Commission for Human Rights in Palestine (ICHR) received 205 complaints of torture and ill-treatment by PA security forces and 193 such complaints against Hamas security forces as of October 31, 2017. While the article cites Hamas violation of 35 press freedom violations, a quick google and i found that the PA violation figure was 119http://www.madacenter.org/images/text_editor/annualrepE2017(1).pdfOf course, Israel's violations surrpass both Palestinian organisations substantially – 376 incidents
