Sheikh Jarrah Introduction 

a lot of people call it that openly in countries where people aren't afraid of being disappeared

It is official that Israel is an apartheid state. Multiple UN reports, NGOs, even Israel's human rights organisation said it is.

By definition it is.

​@@manageyouraccountsettings8573 it's not! around 20% of people with an israelian passport are arab muslims. they enjoy the same rights like the rest of the citizens, they are allowed to vote, protest, pay the same tax, receive the same government aid, ride on the same bus, use the same toilets, sit at the same bank, just everything. WHERE is the apartheid? This constant claim of apartheid and genocide really doesn't do justice to all the people that really suffered from apartheid or genocide. it's antisemitic propaganda! Is there racism in Israel? yes, there is... like there is in every country in the world. that's not good, but apartheid? no. but i think all the arab countries around israel could be counted as apartheid regimes...where are morocco's jews? where are algeria's jews? where are iraq's jews? where are tunesia's jews? or egypt's jews? or yemen's jews? or libyia's jews? or syria's jews? oh right, they all got kicked out, because they where hated. sounds almost like....apartheid and...ethnic cleansing?

@@L3nny666 The Muslims living in Israeli proper actually do face discrimination in the form of: denial of work, racial profiling (ie Tel Aviv airport), and no bomb shelters or Iron Dome defence in many of the Bedouin communities. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians who are NOT granted the same right of return as Israelis are. More importantly however, the vast majority of Palestinians don't live within Israel proper but in the occupied territories. Apartheid is clear as day in the West Bank, where Israel has overt control and presence. If this is the case, West Bank Palestinians should be granted suffrage no? The Israeli settlers living amongst them have a right to vote in Israeli elections but the Palestinians do not. Palestinian homes are subject to intense scrutiny by the Israeli government in order to dispossess them of their homes (see Sheikh Jarrah). Settlers elsewhere are given more freedom of movement around the West Bank compared to Palestinians who hold different number plates and need clearance to get into places like Jerusalem. Since they are obviously not granted the same right As for the countries you listed off. The anti-Jewish actions of past governments does not in any way excuse Israel's Apartheid. It's also quite disingenuous to talk about Iraq since it was most likely that Mossad carried out the Baghdad Bombings to "scare" Iraqi jews into going to Israel and strengthening its economy and military. In the case of Syria, majority of them voluntarily left for Israel in the time of British occupation as the incentives were very attractive. The final Jews left in Syria didn't leave because of the (secular) government, but because of ISIS. As for Morocco, there are still some Jews there, and we could talk about how Jews were welcomed there during the Spanish Inquisition. Additionally Ottomans and the caliphates were much more benevolent to Jews than any European power. It's a ridiculous argumentative fallacy to point at other countries in the case of Israeli apartheid. They may have had certain periods of leadership that were oppressive to Jews, yes, but that does not change anything in Israel. Anyways, if you visit ANY of those places as a Jew (except for maybe the Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen), you will be afforded the exact same rights as any tourist, and if you want to live in any of these countries, there's no laws or segregation which should discourage you from doing so. Jews simply don't live there because Israel is much more prosperous and there's no reason to move back.
