By the way - who exactly called you an "untermensch"? Are you sure it was not a Nazi?
In Palestine, untermensch has meant the demolition of thousands of homes without regard for human life. It has meant the dehumanizing conditions by which millions live under, usually in poverty and lacking meaningful education, healthcare, infrastructure, opportunity and future. Israel's treatment of an entire race of people has destroyed the fabric of society and the aspirations of its citizens.
The Untermensch Syndrome has resulted in centuries old olive trees bulldozed for no reason other than to make miserable the lives of the farmers who owned them. It has categorized Palestinian as inferior to Jew, marginalizing millions who are expropriated of their land and homes. Because of the Untermensch Syndrome Palestine has been carved up into dozens of enclaves, separated by walls or fences, imprisoning people in their towns and refugee camps.
Traveling from town to town is virtually impossible. Children have been separated from their schools, university students from their colleges, workers from their jobs, families from each other and farmers from their fields. This has been accomplished by Israel systematically and without remorse, serving no purpose other than to dehumanize and make unlivable the daily lives of millions.

Palestinians with a sweet-tooth gathered on Saturday around a giant syrupy cheesecake treat they hoped would set a new Guinness world record in their occupied West Bank city.
Economic growth in the West Bank may accelerate to 7 percent this year from 5 percent as Israel eases restrictions, the International Monetary Fund said in a report last month. The lifting of barriers must continue for the expansion to be sustained, the lender said.
An Israeli man has been shot and killed in his car near a Jewish settlement in the north of the West Bank, the Israeli military says.
One thing is right,Israel "Great wall" was planned by idiots so it cuts some people from their farms. Which is naturally wrong. But it is not done to "dehumanize" , it is done because right hand does not know what left does, and head is in the clouds.

This wall is Israeli attempt to set future INTERNATIONAL border and it was indeed planned by idiots since Israeli high court several times changed plans of this thing. This might be idiotic/inconsiderate ,but no more "apartheidal" then border between India and Pakistan.
As for ethnic cleansing - this is getting old. There were ethnic cleansing in 1948 war. This is a crime. Both sides did it by the way.
Now it is as valid as "apartheid". There are questionable policies concerning house permits in East Jerusalem - but despite this Arab population there is growing faster then the Jewish one.
Civilian slaughter is forbidden - great. I hope you tell this to Hamas too.
Just to remind you of something - in Gaza war 1000 plus civilians top were killed. Which is 1000 more then should be, but it is still a drop in the sea of death all round the globe and NOBODY criticised those other hot spots as hard as Israeli actions were criticised. How exactly Israel gets away with it? In Sudan alone 2000 civilians died in 2009. UN security discussed it? There is report on it?
20000 civilians were killed in Sri Lanka in 2009. Nobody cares. You said something about Israel and how it is free to do what it wants?
They already have. They seized large amounts of land in 1967 and have been violating international law by not only systematically removing Arabs from the occupied zone but encouraging Jews to move in. if that weren't enough, land in the West bank is continually being stolen and appropriated for "Settlers." You're looking at the Israeli Sudetenland.
Ironically, it's Israelis who are going to end up as Palestinian citizens, if this conflict goes on much longer; and for what it's worth, a single-state solution is vastly superior to the constant niggling for a two-state that is designed to go nowhere.
Israel has an international border; look up the 1948 partition plan. THAT Is Israel's international border. However after the 1948 war where Israel stole Palestinian land as payment for aggression from Syria and egypt, most Arab states accepted the "new" borders
No, in fact it most certainly was NOT done by both sides. It was extremely one-sided. And it has continued to the present day - As we speak, Jerusalem is being purged of Arabs, their homes stolen, families evicted, businesses closed down. Within the west bank the same thing is happening as "settlers" invade homes, steal, kill, destroy farm plots, and are aided and abetted by the state of Israel with new demolitions of Arab property to build Jewish-only roads to and from these colonies.
Sure. But given how utterly ineffective Hamas is at HURTING, much less killing people, I'd say they're better at this notion than Israel.
Sudan and Sri Lanka have both been hit with sanctions from the US, the EU, and the UN. What has Israel been hit with from these entities?
