This posting makes a very big deal of the fact that the model involved is from Israel. In light of that fact, it is appropriate to remind people of some very disturbing and ugly truths about Israel. The state of Israel currenlty holds 1.5 million Palestinians illegally imprisoned in an open air gulag called Gaza. Why? Because of their religion, which Israel considers to be the wrong one. Yep. More than 60 years after the horror of WW2 Germany, Israel is still ethnically cleansing itself of 1.5 million people because of their religion. The ugly truth is that if the Palestinians were Jewish, they would not be illegally locked into Gaza by the state of Israel. If they were Jewish, they would be given automatic Israeli citizenship. One of the many illustrations of Israel's reverse discrimination is the way in which it grants automatic citizenship to Jews only. Non-Jews are denied automatic citizenship. After all, a state that openly callis itself a "Jewish state" instead of a "State for all people" could not l exist if Jews were not in the majority. Israel's existence as a "Jewish state" demands that Jews always be in the majority and, thus, in charge politically. The 1.5 million non-Jewish Palestinians Israel holds hostage in Gaza are a threat to the falsely achieved Jewish majority of Israel, which was achieved only through the exile, dispossesion, imprisonment, genocide, and ethinic cleansing of the non-Jewish Palestinians. Israel maintains a "separation wall" taller than the Berlin Wall ever was by many feet. It is intended to separate the non-Jewish Palestinians from the Jewish inhabitants of the "Jewish state." "Separation wall" is a euphemism for ugly apartheid. Apartheid is always wrong no matter who does it or where they do it. It doesn't matter if apartheid occurs in WW2 Germany, South Africa, or Israel. Apartheid is morally abhorrent. Reverse discrimination is never the proper response to discrimination. The only proper response to discrimination is equality for all. Jewish Supremacy is just as wrong as any other mandated form of racial or religious supremacy. Jewish Supremacy is just as wrong as the Aryan Supremacy that characterized WW2 Germany. Equality is the only moral stance. Israel's discrimination based on religion can actually properly be called "racism" because Israel was brought into existence not by the religion Judaism, but by the political movement known as Zionism. Zionism teaches that Jewishness is not just a religion, but a "race." Theodor Herzl, the credited founder of Zionism, makes that point very clear in his writings for all to see. Consequently, Zionism's discrimination based on religion is actually "racism" by Zionism's own definition. Interestingly, Herzl's bizarre stance that Jewishness is a "race" was also taken by the greatest villain of WW2 Germany; but Herzl took his stance DECADES before it was echoed in WW2 Germany. Herzl is the originator of that shameful stance. Israel has segregated roads based on religion. Israel has segregated school and villages based on religion. Jsrael holds land in trust for Jews only through the Jewish National Fund. The many illegal housing developments Israel builds aren't just illegal. They are RACIST because they are intended for "Jews only". The most loudly heralded response one hears to WW2 is, "Never again!" Israel never learned that lesson. More than 60 years later, Israel is still building housing developments for the people of one religion only. Apartheid is always wrong. Israel outlaws marriage equality based on religion. In 2012, Israel still does not permit a non-Jew to LEGALLY marry a Jew. There may be marriages between Jews and non-Jews within Israel, but they are not LEGALLY recognized. The Orthodox branch of Judaism, which is politically powerful within Israel, is, of course, officially still on record as being against the intermarriage of Jews and non-Jews. The Conservative branch of Judaism is also on record as being against the intermarriage of Jews and non-Jews. In Israel today, Jews and non-Jews who want to LEGALLY marry are often forced to go to nearby Cyprus. The model involved in this posting comes from the sate of Israel. I hope that model understands that apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing, religiious supremacy, racial supremacy, and all other forms of reverse discriminaition are wrong.
