The three main guidelines for being an apartheid state is first
that they have intent to maintain racial * of one racial
group over another. If we look at like the West Bank, Israeli
settlers lived there as full citizens, they are encouraged by
the state to live in this place a violation of international law.
Palestinians lived there without statehood. So there's an incentive
for Jews to live in a specific place and for indigenous
Palestinians to not live in that place. So that first guideline is
kind of very easily met. The other one is systematic oppression of
one racial group over the other, which is also very clear if we
look at what's happening in Gaza today. And then the third is one
or more inhumane acts carried out on a widespread or like systemic
scale. So by a legal definition, Israel fits the standards of
apartheid very easily.
