I have no problem with the use of the word apartheid for what the Israelis do to their own citizens of Palestinian descent. What they do to the Palestinians in the occupied territories is simply criminal.

Quote:The failure of Israeli and American leaders to grapple with this nondemocratic reality is not helping. Even if a two-state solution were achieved, which seems fanciful at this point, a fundamental contradiction would remain: more than 35 laws in ostensibly democratic Israel discriminate against Palestinians who are Israeli citizens.
