What the Jews have still not learned from the Romans in over 2500 years. The Roman Empire was the longest and most powerful and successful in human history. It is not by chance that the Roman Empire was founded on the concept of "Civitas", the right to citizenship. Roman citizenship was a tool of foreign policy and control. Colonies and political allies would be granted a form of Roman citizenship, there being several graduated levels of citizenship and legal rights (the Latin rights was one of them). The promise of improved status within the Roman Empire and the rivalry with one's neighbors for status, kept the focus of many of Rome's neighbors and allies centered on the status quo of Roman culture, rather than trying to subvert or to overthrow Rome's influence. The granting of citizenship to allies and the conquered was a vital step in the process of Romanization and integration. This step was one of the most effective political tools and (at that point in history) original political ideas. The objective was to turn a defeated and potentially rebellious enemy (or their sons) into Roman citizens. Instead of suppressing the unavoidable revolt of a conquered people Rome tried to make those under its rule feel that they had a stake in the system. The ability of non-Roman born individuals to gain Roman citizenship also provided increased stability for those under Roman rule, and the system of sub-division within the different types of citizenship allowed for Roman rulers to work cooperatively with local elites in the provinces. 2500 years later, Zionists still have not learned that precious lesson. They pretend to be an advanced country, a technological hub and call themselves proudly "the only democracy in the Middle-East". Rather, they are the "only Apartheid state left on earth", created and expanded on forceful land grabs and the extermination of Palestinians. Israel is a Jewish religious state which attributes different rights to its citizens depending on religion. Jewish are first-class Israeli citizens enjoying full rights under Israeli law. Arab and Christian are second-class Israeli citizen with limited rights. This is effectively an Apartheid regime based on the Torah principles - conveniently manipulated by applying rules and interpretation given in the Talmud and by the Rabbis - which substantially dictate that Jewish are superior to the Goyim (Gentiles/those different non-Jews) whose only reason to exist is to serve the Jews. Interesting interview with Max Blumenthal (who is Jewish, so call him "antisemite" if you wish).
