Observing Erosion of Secularist Socialist Underlying Argument for Preservation of Ethnic Diversity - Israel Defies the Logic

Elsewhere we read of the narrative of the Tower of Babel by which humanity was stricken sociologically and then dispersed globally for errors in assuming that if united we stand, the entirety of mankind could reinforce the notion that all would be recognized as being part of a community held in solidarity if all would recognize that the power to govern such might be placed in the hands of a single powerful individual.
They were wrong then; it is being proven as a general condition of humanity today that it does nor bode well to try it again in these modern times. All of the international efforts expended in today's experience of such things are tending to validate that premise. In the alternative, nationalism as an interim attempt to provide protection to the differing social communities globally are offered as a means to provide peaceful coexistence within an ethnic realm.
Humanity does not bear this premise well. History demonstrates various attempts and multiple failures. In this particular post, the contrast and comparison between the Ukraine and Israel are stark and deadly, but no less deadly when making the connection by using the term 'apartheid,' recalling the time when the latent Western European ideological manifestations of governance were battled over in recall of the Boer wars 100 plus year ago.
Walls are a defense, logical and practical; the practicality, however, being in the planning of the barrier by which all resources are fronted and the back-up prepared for the breaches. Of all the places where this impracticality might be demonstrated is where, from before and until 1905, fighting along the Russo-Finnish border produced limited results. Where it is demonstrated for a much more serious breach is in Israel since the walls of Jerusalem failed.
As such, consideration of an 'apartheid' circumstance is beyond the debating objective of an international country club and the topic excessively academic. The exploration of such a semantically empty topic reaches to the low expectations of no one understanding why Israel defeats all arguments against her sovereignty consistenty.
