True. I watched that and cringed. Enough that the Israeli govt does is worthy of legitimate criticism; lying about what they do is just as bad.
It's all fun and games until you start promoting antisemitic myths, @NBCSNL. Every Israeli citizen—Jewish and Arab, Muslim, Christian, of any or no faith—is eligible to be vaccinated; 2/3 of Israel's Arab citizens over 60 already have been. Apologize.

I realize that, but the Palestinian Authority has its own power as well. I am not defending the occupation, but not everything that goes wrong there is Israel’s fault. The situation there is way more complicated than people here make it out to be. google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews…

Apartheid actually isn't very complicated and it's disappointing but expected to see you bow down to the Israel lobby like this
Ooof you really ought to clarify what you mean when you say the Palestinian authority have their own power. They are under occupation.

A token gift of 5,000 vaccines makes the situation "complicated"?

"it's complicated! The colonizers have the very complicated task of doing their inhumane violence without getting bad PR! Understand the nuance!" Seriously, this sucks. Stop it.

You do understand that when we say “end the occupation,” we’re talking about the whole enchilada, right? Not just Gaza & WB.

Marianne, hear me out... What if the very little given to the PA was to keep the media at bay about the lack of distribution to the people in occupied territories?

claiming 'apartheid is complicated' has always been the wrong position. obviously, it is always very complicated, but that cop out ignores the larger point of WHY it is complicated. this kind of mindset is exactly how oppressors use language to obfuscate their blame.

Replying to @marwilliamson

Israel is blocking 2,000 #COVID19 vaccines from entering Gaza, say Palestinians. The doses are meant for health workers. Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2007, crippling its economy and infrastructure: - daily power cuts up to 14 hrs - most water undrinkable - poverty rate is 56%

Ma'am, the PA doesn't even have the power to control its own borders. Acting like it exercises some kind of autonomy IS defending occupation. Period.
