This paper rejects the comparison of the Israeli state with Apartheid South Africa. It argues that Israel is a multi-racial and multi-colored society, and the Arab minority actively participates in the political process. If Israel’s detractors can associate the Jewish movement for self-determination with the Apartheid South African regime, they will do lasting and maybe irreparable damage. Yet, the author stresses that the comparison of Israel to South Africa under white supremist rule has been utterly rejected by those with intimate understanding of the old Apartheid system.
