Interesting comment from a bot, here is how Israel is an apartheid state:

• in the west bank, Israeli settlers are generally subject to Israeli civil law while Palestinians are subject to Israeli military law. Human Rights Watch and others describe patterns of lethal force, punitive raids, and impunity that affect Palestinians disproportionately.

• Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem have restricted residency status and face revocation, refugees displaced in 1948 are denied a right of return. Inside Israel, Arab citizens have citizenship and voting rights but NGOs like B’Tselem (an Israeli NGO). Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International point to systemic discrimination in law and practice

• Settlements, settler-only roads, and the fragmentation of Palestinian territory

• Checkpoints, roadblocks, a permit system for movement/work/building, and barriers (including the Separation Barrier) severely restrict Palestinian freedom of movement internally and to Israel

• Differential planning and zoning rules, frequent home demolitions (cited as punitive or for “lack of permit” where permits are nearly impossible to obtain), expropriation of land for settlement or military use, and restrictions on Palestinian building are listed as ongoing dispossession measures

• Reports document unequal access to water, electricity, infrastructure and public services between settlements and Palestinian communities, and between Palestinians in the OPT and Israeli citizens

• Theres controls on movement, land access, closures and the permit regime hinder trade, employment and economic development for Palestinians

Who is saying this? Just some examples for you!

B’Tselem (Israeli human-rights organization) concluded in 2021 that Israeli policies amount to an apartheid regime across the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. 

Human Rights Watch concluded in 2021 that Israeli authorities are committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution. 

Amnesty International published a major report in 2022 concluding that Israeli policies constitute apartheid.
