You don’t have to imagine this. This is what the UN does to Israel on an all to regular basis.

Perhaps your opinions on Jerusalem were formed long before you “recently visited”. There are many Arab Muslims who walk the streets of Jerusalem, many of them citizens of Israel. In fact, in the Old City, the largest “quarter” of the city is the Muslim quarter. A single Jew walking the streets of the Muslim quarter had better be packing some serious heat or else he would be almost certainly in mortal danger. An Arab Muslim can stroll through the Jewish quarter without a care in the world or fear of any attack. That is the truth. And yes, I have seen that with my own lyin’ eyes.

The real “apartheid” areas of the Holy Land are those occupied by Muslims (even Christian Arabs are mostly unwelcome and have mostly abandoned the West Bank). These are the areas that “peace” talkers so cavalierly foresee as Judenrein, while blathering about a “right of return” for Arabs to Jewish Israel.

Forget about a non-muslim road in NYC. Imagine if that were really true in Jerusalem. It wouldn’t just be the ACLU and the like lobbing lawsuits. Every NGO on the planet would be linking arms with Islamist countries and the other dictatorships to get a binding resolution of condemnation in the UN, with the EU members shaking their heads and tut-tutting with their fingers. And the Saudis, standing beneath their own apartheid signs would be leading the chorus of the Useful Idiot Choir and peeing their burkas silly in laughter.

The promotion of virtue thing dictates never to allow Najess(unclean) Jews and Christians to venture into the clean places reserved for followers of Islam only. No dogs, Jews or Christians allowed! you might say. That’s the religion of peace for you.

No.

Its about the triangle of 1) rogue nation states like Iran 2) exploiting WMD proliferation for 3) anonymous and untracable attacks against the West using terror orgs as proxies.

I’m sitting out the conflict for now. Its pointless to expend energy until the Left loses cities like Paris and New York. Maybe then they’ll understand the threat.

It’s very tempting to try and insist on some kind of draconian measures like the example given here. It would, at least, be an attempt toward fairness. But the obsession with fairness seems like the exclusive territory of the angry left, and they fail to notice how often attempts at equality just end up in other unfairness.

I admit that I find the argument that we HAVE to tolerate the intolerable because we’re enlightened and no one else is to be … well, not even cold comfort. It’s patronizing, at least, and ludicrous at most. We’re so enlightened that we’re dooming our culture to extinction without raising a finger? Lucky us.

I suppose I think the real answer has to lie in the direction of just trying to raise the level of common sense and intelligence worldwide. I haven’t a clue how to do that, but then … hey, I’m just a commenter. The serious solutions can come from other blogposts.

What streets? Neighborhoods? Or any other demographic demarcation?

Thanks.
