4. The killings in Palestine and Norn Iron and even 9/11 are admittedly chickenfeed compared to these state-sponsored killing fields, but that doesn't excuse Britain from sponsoring an apartheid state in Norn Iron, nor America from sponsoring an apartheid state in Isreal.

Surely in NornIron though the 'apartheid' is not a legislated one but more of a cultural one... and as such is perhaps less extreme (or more surmountable) than the ones in Israel or earlier in SA...

The 'apartheid' was legislated until the early 1970s. Not as overt as that in SA but effective nonetheless.

You might be interested to know that SA based its security laws on those used in Northern Ireland.
