I was attempting to convey that the genesis of Israel was not as a apartheid state, though I agree it's become that (and has been that). My grandparents were ideal candidates to populate Israel, but chose the US because I think it was far less morally problematic than Israel/Palestine. In fact, my grandfather Ben was essentially kicked out of British Mandate Palestine for showing his support of the Palestinian people.
"Ben Zion Friedlander, son of the late Professor Israel Friedlander, of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, who was arrested on the charge of trying to hoist a red flag bearing an Arabic inscription near the Tel Aviv High School, on “Communist Day”, (August 1st) was brought up today before the British Magistrate in Tel Aviv. Three detectives gave evidence that they had seen him trying to hoist the flag. Friedlander, however, stoutly denied the charge and his Counsel argued that as it was midnight when the offence is alleged to have occurred, the detectives could not be as certain as they claimed to be that it was Friedlander they had seen trying to hoist the flag."
