I live in Jerusalem. 40% of the city's population is Palestinian. The Israeli citizens are citizens. The non-Israeli Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, are, with rare exceptions, not citizens. Spare me the bullshit that they're entitled to become citizens. They're not.
@havecankles @DanielSeidemann Where exactly is the apartheid? You mean Israeli citizens are citizens and non Israeli citizens not in Israel are not citizens? Ok then… .And the genocidal side is Hamas and its supporters.
