The situation in the Westbank might be like Apartheid, but not the state of Israel.
Why are you saying may be like? It is definitely apartheid
The Westbank is part of Israel. Various parties have their own motivations for pretending otherwise. But the facts on the ground are a one state reality. And that singular state is an Apartheid one.
“The situation in the Westbank might be like Apartheid, but not the state of Israel.”
This is wrong. Israel is an apartheid regime through and through. Stop whitewashing Zionist apartheid and settler colonialism.
One of the many examples: Israel has long used discriminatory laws and policies to separate Palestinians from their families. For example, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza cannot gain legal status in Israel or occupied East Jerusalem through marriage, denying their rights to family unification. This policy has forced thousands of Palestinians to live apart from their loved ones; others are forced to go abroad, or live in constant fear of being arrested, expelled or deported. These measures explicitly target Palestinians, and not Jewish Israelis, and are primarily guided by demographic considerations that aim to minimize Palestinian presence inside Israel/OPT.
