I'll be snarky if I want to. If you don't like it, don't respond. Israel is obviously an apartheid state. It took me 10 seconds to find that out.

You claimed, and I quote, "Israel is not an apartheid state, no matter how much you or other people want to call it that."

Meaning you were "being snarky" with me even though finding the truth takes 10 seconds.

Israel has Gaza currently under siege. That is a straight up war crime. They are also entering Israeli occupied territory and shooting people. Another war crime. They are blowing up hospitals, schools, universities, UN buildings, children's playgrounds, refugee camps. ALL WAR CRIMES.

There have been at least 400 Palestinians killed in the West Bank this year alone. Israel just made the biggest (all are illegal) land grab since the Oslo Accords about a week ago. That is how the Israelis treat the Palestinians. As second class citizens at best, as sub-humans if they are not citizens.

This is all over the man stream press for decades, but the horrible attack by Hamas has brought Israel's slaughter and barbarity to the forefront by the killing of something over 40,000 civilians in six months.

You could find all this evidence of apartheid, war crimes and genocide in a matter of seconds. The horrors that the Palestinians are going through while people still claim "it is complicated" or "Israel is not an apartheid state, no matter how much you or other people want to call it that" angers me because this is not some hypothetical situation. It is life and death for several million people.

Deal with the snark.
