That excuse, never more than shameful moral cowardice, has completely outlived its usefulness, though I understand you're not making excuses, but rather condemning the oppression of the Palestinians. But I think it's no different than any other oppression; the perpetrators of most oppressive policies throughout history, have sometimes been in the role of oppressed by another group. The old assumption that people who have been terribly mistreated are unlikely to mistreat others thanks to the empathy their lived experience gave them, has been proven false too many times; we humans quite naturally, are actually pretty likely to pass on the ill treatment to others.

You are no Jew

While many are quick to point out multiple examples of some level of recognition by human rights watch and other organisations, this still is a huge step towards public recognition of the reality of the citation. Finally an organisation with world wide recognition uses the proper terms that clearly portray the power imbalance in the region. It is not a complicated citation, it is not a case where both sides share equal or somehow undeterminable blame - it is one racial groups oppressive control and discrimination against another. It is apartheid regime over Palestinian lives, by the Israeli government and military. This is an entirely different tone than just pointing out cases of discrimination and violation of human rights. It doesn't leave room for whataboutism. It doesn't leave room for listing individual terror attacks or Palestinian organisations as a reason for such controlling of lives and opportunities of Palestinian people. None of those can defend apartheid regime. And no citation, condition or circumstance can explain violence and crimes committed while attempting to merely maintain social order and governance based on racial discrimination.
