    Calling Israel’s apartheid “modern” to me kind of implies that South Africa’s apartheid, whose transitional period ended in 1994, was somehow “ancient” or “old-fashioned”… Yeah, you can rest assured that apartheid/segregation always has been far too modern.

        30 years was so long ago.
        Flip phones, PAY PHONES and pagers!
        That’s how long ago it was.

        I agree as I do not consider my IBM PS/1 25mhz system to be a modern computer.

          I own a flip phone now, I pay with my phone and pagers are alive and well at the hospital I work at. Just saying…

      I was thinking about this recently and it won’t happen given the current climate but what Palestinians need is their own Truth and Reconciliation just like South Africans did. Codify that shit.
