The State of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians has been compared to South Africa's treatment of non-whites during its apartheid era. During the apartheid era, South African officials and pro-government newspapers frequently compared the two states and said that Israel also practiced apartheid. Israel has also been accused of committing the crime of apartheid.
---- "Israeli policy say that "a system of control" including separate roads, discriminatory marriage law, the West Bank barrier, use of Palestinians as cheap hard labour, Palestinian West Bank enclaves, inequities in infrastructure, legal rights, and access to land and resources between Palestinians and Israeli residents in the Israeli-occupied territories resembles some aspects of the South African apartheid regime, and that elements of Israel's occupation constitute forms of colonialism and of apartheid, which are contrary to international law. Some commantators extend the analogy, or accusation, to include Arab citizens of Israel, describing their citizenship status as second-class."
Wow, copy-cats much?!
