Apartheid, Apartheid

        A smart African-American went to Palestine and Israel not too long ago and believes that Israel has the Palestinians living in an apartheid state. I understand, and I partially agree. 

    How and why? Millions of Palestinians are a stateless people, which is not all the Israeli's fault, but the fact that most of them do not have normal sovereign rights, while between half a million and 700 hundred thousand Israeli citizens live in the West Bank, against the Palestinian charter of ownership, continues to be a problem. It is not stopping. However, of the close to 20 percent of Israelis who are Arab, I am not sure how many of them are the "illegal settlers" or "occupiers"... But that may not be the real issue...

    Gaza Strip is another matter. What to do with this 128 square miles or so?

    Is it a state of apartheid?

    Something has to change, for sure.

    And it will. South Africa transformed in the 1990s.

    Some things will change, for better or for worse.
