But if you mean the situation where the Israeli army has kept the Palestinians under martial law since 1967 (with the assasinations, arrests, roadblocks, ect.) then I'm standing up: Yes it is apartheid, and YES it is justified. 100% justified--until we sign an end-of-conflict treaty with the Palestinians. It's 100% justified; we won't committ national suicide. BZ–
