Never sure of what she is saying but the above is TRUE.
Statement number 5 renders all the others potentially false, depending upon what the law says or what G-D allegedly said..
In 1973 the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (ICSPCA) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. The ICSPCA defines the crime of apartheid as "inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group ... over another racial group ... and systematically oppressing them." In 2002 the crime of apartheid was further defined by Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as encompassing inhumane acts such as torture, murder, forcible transfer, imprisonment, or persecution of an identifiable group on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, or other grounds, "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime." In a 2007 report, United Nations Special Rapporteur for Palestine John Dugard stated that "elements of the Israeli occupation constitute forms of colonialism and of apartheid, which are contrary to international law" and suggested that the "legal consequences of a prolonged occupation with features of colonialism and apartheid" be put to the International Court of Justice. South Africa's statutory research agency the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) stated in a 2009 report that "the State of Israel exercises control in the [Occupied Palestinian Territories] with the purpose of maintaining a system of domination by Jews over Palestinians and that this system constitutes a breach of the prohibition of apartheid." In 2010 United Nations Special Rapporteur for Palestine Richard A. Falk reported that criminal apartheid features of the Israeli occupation had been entrenched in the three years since the report of his predecessor, John Dugard.
I'm going out for my Tuesday night piano bar and pub meetup with some friends. No time to post a lot of stuff, but the point is it's not only Emmaline and a few other posters here that disagree with you on that.

It would be great to be informed of their proof. I really want to know. Bed-time now - when I log in in 7 hours I hope to be reliably informed of Israel being an apartheid state.
Wow_Factor: Well I will ask the question - (hope I get an answer but I won't hold my breath).
How is Israel an apartheid state?
Apartheid was an Afrikaner word and it literally means "apartness".
Broadly speaking, an Apartheid state is one that seeks to physically separate minority ethnic groups living within its borders and under its authority from the majority population, and which applies a different set of laws and rights to each group.
Israel is very clearly an Apartheid state, every bit as much as South Africa ever was.

No, you are wrong. You must be confusing those living under PA rule to Israeli rule. As I said, show me proof that Israel is an apartheid state.

please i say this not as an emotive argument, by defined by laws against palestinian peoples
I need more information please. You mentioned you are a Jew so if you want to prove to another one that Israel practices apartheid, I need to know EXACTLY what you mean. Proof rather than hatch, match and dispatch.
