Strangest description of an apartheid state I have seen.

Oh but, but...Palestinians in Israel are full citizens, have the right to vote and some of them are even in the Knesset and one of them is even a Supreme Court Justice!! It's not an apartheid state!!

The talking points never address the apartheid accusation for the West Bank, do they?

If this is not apartheid I don't know what is.
