I renew my question - do you, or do you not, believe in the substance of the article that apartheid is occuring in Palestine?
"Apartheid" per se is perhaps too much. One could apply that term in many countries in certain situations, etc. (in those places it is called 'racism") The article expresses the opinion of one author and "hearsay" regarding what a policeman and "others" told her.
Nevertheless, I do believe, as do many others including a good percentage of the Israeli population, that the Palestinians are suffering. I also believe that it is better to "expose" what is happening that why it is happening. What is easy, Why: one could spend a lifetime arguing about it - and forgetting the 'what".
Ok, you agree the Palestinians are suffering.
In other countries the tactics employed are merely called 'racist' as opposed to 'apartheid'.
You believe 'apartheid' is too strong a word for the 'suffering' being imposed on the Palestinians by the Israelis.
It appears that we only differ on the point about calling the racism and suffering in Palestine 'apartheid' - for me the words are synonymous. What was apartheid if it was not institutionalised racism?
At least we agree that the Palestinians are suffering.
[P.S. I've posted on the 'what' and the 'why' many times before.]
