@Scmurcott @nicholas_saunders @palestine @israel No Palestinian who actually lives under Israel’s apartheid system (along with many of other nationalities) has denied the comparison to South Africa. Separate schools, medical systems, roads, laws, access to justice, rights to free press & free speech etc The ongoing genocide is possible due to the accrual of statutory discrimination and the acceptance of extralegal, inhumane practices.
