ISRAELI JOURNO CALLS OUT ISRAELI APARTHEID

Palestinians have been speaking on the true nature of Israel for decades. While rare, here is an Israeli voice, veteran journalist Gideon Levy, giving weight to claims that Israel is a violent settler-colonial state enforcing apartheid. Indeed, a UN human-rights expert and human-rights organisations, including an Israeli group called B'Tselem, have called Israel an apartheid state.

He argues that the situation in occupied Palestine is not a 'conflict' between two equal sides but rather an occupation that systemically oppresses Palestinians. He suggests that the disparity in power between the Palestinians and the Israeli state is so stark that to call it a 'conflict' misrepresents reality. He compared it to Algeria's war of independence against France, a colonial occupier.

Have a watch, and please share your thoughts.
