Everybody is starting to talk about Israeli Apartheid.

Some say that the term "Israeli Apartheid" is a blood libel.

But what does etc. mean? Every state on earth separates people according to citizenship. That's why we have borders after all. Why is Israel's separation of citizens from non citizens apartheid while places that separate/segregate actual state residents according to ethnicity get a pass? (See Lebanon for example.)

so your Lebanon comparison falls rather flat also Israel has restrictive laws that apply only to its Arab citizens at least when it come to family association
