Racism and Apartheid

  • In the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Jews and Non Jews live under different Legal regimes. Jews have all the legal rights of Jews within Israel. Non Jews are denied the same rights. In fact, Israel denies the Non Jews under Occupation the Legal rights of people under occupation as outlined by the 4th Geneva Convention.
  • In addition to living under different Legal regimes, Jews and Non Jews in the Occupied Palestinian Territories live in Racially Separated villages and towns and have access to Racially separated Roading systems.
  • These actions can be defined as Apartheid as outlined by any of the following definitions:

    • "Any system or practice that separates people according to color,ethnicity, caste, etc"
