If you liked South Africa's version of apartheid, you'll love Israels.





Is that why Arabic is an official language of the State of Israel? Is that why Arab citizens of Israel enjoy a level of civil rights, education, healthcare, life expectancy, etc., that Arabs in any other part of the Middle East can only dream about? And all these points are easily verifiable by seeing the situation on the ground with an open mind. Chris, either you don't know the facts, or you utterly fail to understand the word, "apartheid". Both problems are easily remedied
