00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			The three main guidelines for
being an apartheid state is first
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			that they have intent to maintain
racial * of one racial
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			group over another. If we look at
like the West Bank, Israeli
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			settlers lived there as full
citizens, they are encouraged by
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			the state to live in this place a
violation of international law.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			Palestinians lived there without
statehood. So there's an incentive
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			for Jews to live in a specific
place and for indigenous
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			Palestinians to not live in that
place. So that first guideline is
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			kind of very easily met. The other
one is systematic oppression of
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			one racial group over the other,
which is also very clear if we
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			look at what's happening in Gaza
today. And then the third is one
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			or more inhumane acts carried out
on a widespread or like systemic
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			scale. So by a legal definition,
Israel fits the standards of
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			apartheid very easily.
