Are you kidding? Apartheid has been here for ages. Ages. It\u2019s just that we\u2019re on its good side, so it doesn\u2019t really bother us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the obstacle to peace in the region lies with a Palestinian authority that\u00a0\u201ceducates [people] to lionize terrorists and to murder Israelis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Haaretz, Harel\u2019s show has been fined for ridiculing Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>And in his passionate five-minute assessment of Israeli society on Monday, Harel denounced the government and the Israeli nation for double standards regarding conflict&#8217;s resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been abusing the Palestinians on a daily basis for years, denying them their basic rights. In Judea and Samaria we\u2019re taking their lands from them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce, we used the Jewish National Fund to raise money to buy the lands. Today? We just pass a law saying we can just take their lands and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoldiers shoot at stone-throwers because they\u2019re a real threat, but if in Israel someone throws stones they won\u2019t even be charged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPalestinian journalists are put in administrative detention, without trial, because they wrote something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years we\u2019ve been deepening the hatred, the same hatred that we later complain about in peace talks. Israel\u2019s most impressive innovation, more than any high-tech project, is our amazing ability to ignore what is happening mere kilometers away to our neighbors. A whole people, transparent. Like it doesn\u2019t exist,\u201d\u00a0Harel said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that one day he hoped people Israel would\u00a0\u201cwake up\u201d\u00a0before further conflict breaks out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to have the Yom Kippur war to have peace with Egypt&#8230;.
