       I especially like the last post. By its (accurate) logic, all
       Jewish organizations can be considered apartheid organizations
       and thus deserving of elimination. Not so sure about
       "relocating" the settlers, though. Why not just follow the
       advice of the second post?

       The False Left solution would have been to lower the "black"
       passing score in order to equalize outcomes. We have always been
       against this, as it perpetuates Western standards but then
       merely lowers those standards for ethnic groups which have
       trouble meeting them, which signals that those ethnic groups are
       inferior and hence promotes negative ethnic profiling against
       them later (during hiring, promotion, etc.).
       The new solution is True Left, as it challenges the validity of
       Western standards themselves, as previously explained:
