No offense but I'll defer to what apartheid actually means. The fact that Arabs are given equal rights to vote, serve in public office, serve in the military and work/travel alongside the Jews negates this. I'm not saying Israel is perfect in anything just as there are no perfect people. However calling modern day Israel pro-apartheid is the grandaddy of all misnomers.
Patently false. One in 5 people in Israel are Arab. They serve in high places in government and military. The population of Gaza has grown exponentially in the last twenty years. Sounds like if the Israelis practice apartheid, they're really bad at it.
I was thinking the same thing last night. They are there as decorations. Perhaps A-Rod should be there because he does present well and seems pretty knowledgeable. They should ask him to not visit the tanning booth quite as much.
Check out the underside of the pickups as they've probably been updated as well. It would be insanity to replace the pots/cap and not replace the pickups as well.
Ben Shapiro (yeah, I get it, y'all hate him here) made basically the same argument as is in this article and expounds on the "why".

Full disclosure: I have no eye for decoration. That said, if you were to stain other areas, you have all that base plate around the room and stairs that would not match. If it were my house, I'd go with white all the way so it all matches.
