Sen. Barbara Boxer called the comparison “nonsensical and ridiculous.” Even Secretary of State John Kerry himself said Monday that if he could “rewind the tape,” he’d choose another word than “apartheid” to describe a future Israel. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes sees no need to rewind that tape, apparently.
What is the *correct* term for a future Greater Israel where Jews are a minority but retain control over land where majority can't vote ?

So, was John Kerry right the first time? Some think so.

@zaidjilani @veganforareason @chrislhayes @aliabunimah It's (Apartheid) true. It is an ineradicable stain on Israel.

.@chrislhayes What's the correct term for a *present* "Greater Israel" where that's already been the case for years?
— Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) April 29, 2014
.@chrislhayes what you describe is the reality right now and accurate terms are apartheid, segregation & settler colonialism.

@VolkanTopalli do you even know what apartheid is?

We should be careful to interpret John Kerry's words in context. The context that he's an idiot.

@chrislhayes What is the *correct* term for a Palestinian state where Jews no longer can live or visit without being attacked and killed?

.@chrislhayes 1) Population of Israelis is > double that of Palestinians. 2) Palestinians vote in their own elections (4 terrorist groups)

.@chrislhayes 3. Palestinian could have their own country tomorrow if they would give up their commitment to killing Jews.

.@chrislhayes Lastly, incredibly ignorant to suggest that Israeli arabs, who have full rights and vote in Israel, are just discounted.
— (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) April 29, 2014
@chrislhayes the correct term is "land of terrorists" who should repent and stop attacking Israel so they can gain political legitmacy.
