MPP Shurman (Thornhill) united the Ontario Legislature in passing a motion condemning the use of the phrase "Israeli Apartheid Week". Citing this as an inflammatory and racist term, Mr. Shurman gained unanimous support for his Private Member's motion.

"The use of the phrase Israeli Apartheid Week is about as close to hate speech as one can get without being arrested and I'm not certain it doesn't actually cross that line"
In other words he thinks anyone that disagrees with him on Israel should be arrested.

The earliest people in Palestine were the Canaanites going back over 5000 years. Jews are only mentioned for the first time in the Book of Esther in the 3rd century BC in relation to Persia. AshkeNazi Jews are Khazars that converted to Judaism in the 8th century. Sephardic Jews are Berbers that converted to Judaism. No Jewish state has ever existed in Palestine apart from the present day pseudo Jewish state created in 1948.

Jews were in Israel before anyone else historically.
Then in the 20th Century, the Jews became the first people to create a sovereign nation on the land. That nation is Israel.
Israel rightfully belongs to the Jews no matter what perspective you take.

The Palestinians are not Israelis. The Palestinians are in a DIFFERENT land.
Therefore, there is no "apartheid". The South African apartheid took place within the same country, as white South African oppressors targeted South African blacks based solely on racist views.
