1. There's no such thing as "Israeli apartheid".
2. Israel is here to stay.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_apartheid

"While the crime of apartheid is most often associated with the racist policies of South Africa after 1948, the term more generally refers to racially based policies in any state."

"...a number of nations have neither signed nor ratified the ICSPCA, including Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the United States."

Are Palestinians not treated as second class citizens in Israel? What about all those checkpoints forcing people to queue for hours on end?

I think Archbishop Desmond Tutu knows what Apartheid looks like:

South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has accused Israel of practising apartheid in its policies towards the Palestinians.

The Nobel peace laureate said he was "very deeply distressed" by a visit to the Holy Land, adding that "it reminded me so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa"

furthermore:

"The Human Sciences Research Council of South Africa (HSRC) has released a study indicating that Israel is practicing both colonialism and apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT)."

no such thing as israeli apartheid? so, what do you call the state system of discrimintation which exists throughout israeli society? jews and non-jews are not treated equally in law, socially or morally. (and quite a few jews, too, are regarded as second class citizens as they are not the white, elite ashkenazim.) never mind what happens in the occupied territories.

just because you make a statement, it does not make it true. i think you need to understand what the difference is between fact and your ignorant fiction.
