Co-existence between Arabs and Jews, and 5,000 jobs for Palestinians, are "apartheid" and "war crimes" to @HRW

The New York Times wrote an article about a new mall and destination theme parks in a part of Maale Adumim called Park Israel.

Among other things, it says:

[O]ne recent morning, the three-story fairground was packed with 1,500 Palestinian youths, mostly boys, on an outing from four schools in Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem. Seemingly oblivious to the geopolitics, the middle schoolers screeched in fear and delight as they plunged down the sky tower and hurtled around the extreme 360-degree Looper ride.

“Most of the parents want their children to have fun more than anything else,” said Imad Karain, the trip organizer from one of the schools.

Mr. Karain said he had received no complaints, though he did acknowledge some uneasiness about being in a settlement. Of the parents he said: “Politics doesn’t interest them so much. We want to live in peace and bring up our children in peace. We believe in coexistence and negotiations to solve the problem.”

“Enough of war and violence,” chimed in Muhammad Baidun, an English teacher.

The next day, Magic Kass was booked by an ultra-Orthodox Jewish boys’ yeshiva. And when the gates opened to the public in the late afternoon, the line was a mix of the religious and the secular, Jews and Arabs.

Maale Adumim and Park Israel currently provide jobs for about 5,000 Palestinians and a similar number of Jews, including cleaning and maintenance staff and managers. 

So Jews and Arabs can go, thousands of Palestinians are employed, there is absolutely no discrimination.

And here's how Ken Roth of Human Rights Watch summarizes the article:

As the builders of an Israeli theme park try to hide that it's located in a war-crime settlement, West Bank residents see it as "an example of the two-tier legal system in the occupied territory that critics increasingly describe as a kind of apartheid." 

 They are hiding the gigantic theme park? A place where Arabs and Jews mingle and work together is "apartheid?" A place that provides thousands of jobs for Palestinians is a" war crime"?

Antisemitism rots your brain.
