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”).
