Why does the Apartheid government of ersatz israel feel greater transparency will “damage foreign relations”?

http://www.intifada-palestine.com/2010/08/israel-s...

But full disclosure of these myth-shattering documents may be the precondition for peace. Certainly, more of these revelations offer the best hope of shocking Israeli public opinion out of its self-righteous opposition to meaningful concessions, either to Syria or the Palestinians.

    Probably because it would weaken foreign support for the Occupation.

    @ Kevin7 - "Israel does not practice Apartheid".

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu,Nobel Peace Prize winner, veteran of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and a man of unimpeachable integrity, happens to disagree with you.

    The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes against humanity "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime."

    On 30 November 1973, the United Nations General Assembly opened for signature and ratification the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (ICSPCA). It defined the crime of apartheid as "inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them."

    Would you tell someone you were a mass murderer, or a religious supremacist? The idea of a secular Israel is a joke.

    Source(s): The truth will come eventually. In this life or the next. Me personally, I would rather make amends in this life, then face the wrath of a vengeful God.

    Because what we know is bad enough, can you imagine the uproar not only with Israel but with the United States?

    according to Matthew Chap.10, vs.[26] Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

    [27] What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

    [28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

    or Luke Chap. 12, vs. [2] For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

    [3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
