Or it’s segregation on any grounds at all. The segregation is the key


Injustice. As with minorities anywhere, Israeli Arabs contend with discrimination. But not apartheid. They can vote, they have representation in the legislature, and while discrimination can be used to describe some of their experiences, apartheid never can.

Very different story for the residents of Gaza and the WB. It is far too simplistic to make Israel out to be pure as the driven snow on statehood. I think it was obviously true about a quarter century ago. Arafat balked at 95% of his ask. Since then, Netanyahu has been a full partner in maintaining the status quo.

It really doesn’t matter. Much of the 5 mil is too young to have ever seen that momentary chance 25 yrs ago. They live under the thumb of a govt in which they have no say. I don’t like it, but convenient to my biases or not, that meets a definition of apartheid.
