It is a total misuse of the word apartheid.  My law Professor was from South Africa, and every time he hears the word associated with Israel....he goes rank.  Israeli policy is NOTHING LIKE APARTHEID, there is NO comparison..... no more apartheid than the US is with its treatment of blacks.  It may not be "fair" or desirable....and in Israel's case i M not conceding that point....BUT, NOT apartheid.
