There is no official apartheid in Israel proper, though there are over 50 laws that discriminate against non-Jews. The most glaring is the Orwellian-named "Law of Return" that offers generous incentives to anyone in the world that may never have set foot in Israel (if Jewish) to "return" and live on confiscated Palestinian lands, while Palestinians born in Jerusalem (with parents and grand-parents buried in its soil) who leave for a couple of years to work or study abroad can have their "residency permits" revoked. This is in "democratic" Israel.

In the West Bank, full-fledged apartheid exists. "Apartheid" simply means "separate" in Afrikaaner, as in the separate laws (civil for Jews, military for Palestinians) that rule its inhabitants.

Admittedly, the apartheid analogy is unfair: not even during South Africa's darkest days were blacks prevented from using certain roads (as West Bank Palestinians are) or had Apache gunships unleashed on them.
