The Merriam-Webster dictionary was argued into a climbdown this week, after a Jewish reader – among others – objected to the use of Israel as an example of the term “apartheid.”

In a Twitter campaign, the protester alerted the dictionary to what they considered an egregious example of the apartheid term and its linkage with Israel, when more traditionally it has been linked with the official policy of the former South African government, which institutionalized the system between 1948-1994.

The chosen excerpt was from an August 7 Minneapolis Star Tribune op-ed: “As Israel prepares to formally annex the most fertile, most water-rich third of the Palestinian West Bank, will America continue to enable Israeli apartheid and the Hundred Years’ War on Palestine?” cited the Jewish Journal.

  1. Cold history has no take on anything but the reason that Jerusalem must prevail for health and mind.

    The milk and honey is a tact asset that I do not understand how the world can deny the jewish existence. The land of David is ALL milk and honey. I do not think that the cold heart of arabia is more than keen. It is the second pope and it stands against the whole world.

    If you divide the milk to the church and the arabs take the honey of our lives, we get the whole of what this anti-kosher world is doing. It is stepping on jewish land without even taking the precaution that the name of God peace preserve it by the laws we encounter. A jew wants to make his rich parents proud and goes to college and goes right to the holy land and stands there as if the soul is not religious at all except for his blood. This is an error game and the world can see that jews only see faith in their own presevation by kosher mind.

    If the milk and honey belongs as it does on the map with a jew in the standing as a priest, then there is no chance that our pace of life be reduced. It is a constant reminder that we have brothers and sisters who hate us so much that the world must stop to clean up our land that was given biblically to the honor of Abraham and Jacob.

    Can you stand it? I can not. The apartheid is just the poke to pull the land apart.

    • This post by WIYD reminds me of something my Junior-High English Language Teacher used to say back in the 60’s: coherence is a virtue!

      • He does this all the time. He seems to find it amusing to write semi-poetic, semi-gibberish posts but I believe most people are fed up with his nonsense.
