      Israel claims that Gaza and the West Bank are part of Israel, and that there is no such country as Palestine. If that’s true then the Palestinians are a minority ethnic group in Israel with no rights or citizenship. There’s no possible argument that isn’t apartheid.

      Doesn’t stop Israelis making the argument though, by doing Schrödinger’s Palestine, which doesn’t exist when you accuse them of illegally occupying it (“it’s part of Israel”) and does exist when you accuse them of apartheid (“they don’t have rights because it’s not part of Israel”).

      Israel has full political and military control of Palestinian land. They control every aspect of their lives. Remember when Jewish people where placed into ghettos and they each had different insignia that would indicate where they were from and were they could travel and what freedoms they had? Israel does the same thing with palestinians.
