Folks please, please go and google “Jewish population of hebron”. You are being fed lies and you’re eating it all up because you really want to cheer for the underdog.
I literally googled that and this was the top result.
“Hebron is home to approximately 200,000 Palestinians, as well as 700 or so Jewish settlers. However, 20 percent of the city is under direct Israeli control, and Palestinians living in it, or passing through it, are subjected to checkpoints and a ban from travelling on several main streets, unlike the Jewish settlers.”
Yes! Exactly! There are 200 thousand people living in hebron and Seven Hundred of them are Jews. Who do you think lives in a ghetto there? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying these settlers aren’t assholes who may throw trash or rocks, I’m sure many other cities have communities of assholes. But making this out to be apartheid?! Come on.

Uhhhhhhhh… This is meant to be ironic or…? Yes, pushing members of a minority group to live in a specific city/area densely packed primarily by themselves which they do not govern… is apartheid. I could say “Look, only 100 white people lived in X neighborhood while 100,000 black people lived there in South Africa! How is that apartheid?” and it’d sound pretty ridiculous.
Uhhhhhh… Hebron is mostly governed by the Palestinian authority. It is in fact their capital. Jewish people can’t really access most parts of the city. It’s actually pretty prosperous city which is what you get when you don’t devulge 100% of your funds developing terror infrastructure.
