Writing in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Israeli author Gideon Levy points out inequities in how Jews and non-Jews are treated under Israeli law. “To put it briefly: After the Law of Return, this is the law that exemplifies more than any other the domination of Jewish supremacism in this country. A Jew can share his life with whomever he or she chooses, and an Arab can’t. Just like that, despairingly and painfully simple. Any country that treated its Jewish citizens like that would be reviled.” Read the entire article here: https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-israeli-apartheid-look-no-further-than-this-racist-law-1.9921372?utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=email&utm_content=author-alert&utm_campaign=Gideon%20Levy&utm_term=20210620-00:31.

Mondoweiss reports that former Israeli Attorney General Michael Benyair used the word apartheid to describe Israel‘s treatment of Palestinians, referring to calling it “apartheid” in West Bank only: “It’s a mistake. The apartheid regime is in all areas controlled by Israel, between the sea & the Jordan River.”
