Though Israel and the West won't admit it, the ongoing Palestinian occupation is a clear-cut policy of apartheid. With Netanyahu’s new majority-Zionist government, the oppression of Palestinians will only intensify as it faces less political opposition. What Netanyahu could only dream of in the past will now be written into law, which only means further deterioration of human rights.
It's time for Israel to focus on eradicating the Palestinian goal of eliminating the Jewish state. Though a two-state solution is possible, Palestine has clearly shown an inability to govern itself. Instead of defensively responding to each Palestinian attack, Israel should simply cut political and economic ties with its enemy neighbors and focus on protecting itself.
