Israel Is Fast Becoming a Rogue State. And Trump Is Complicit in That Downfall

Israel will be undisputedly an apartheid state, a rogue state in the eyes of much of the world. Like Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Syria under both Assads and South Africa before Nelson Mandela, a very large or majority societal group will be deprived of its rights.

A 50 year occupation is already eroding democracy within Israel itself. Reuven Rivlin, Israel’s President, recently warned that „statesmanship has disappeared” and that Israel was witnessing a „counterrevolution“ in political leaders were interfering in the legal system. President Rivlin continued that those in power are working to „delegitimize the gatekeepers of Israel’s democracy,“ no doubt referring the right’s continuous attacks on the Supreme Court and Israel’s justice system.
