I'm sorry that you feel that way. But "apartheid" is the nomenclature adopted by well-known human rights organizations, (https://www.btselem.org/publications/fulltext/202101_this_is...), by the Palestinians themselves (https://bdsmovement.net/apartheid-free-zones), and by one of my personal heroes, Desmond Tutu (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/1957644.stm) to describe Israel. I have also visited the West Bank many times and what I saw with my own eyes suggests to me that the apartheid-label absolutely fits.

The point of calling Israel an apartheid state is of course not to claim that Israel is identical to what South Africa was. The point is to emphasize that it is the same racist and supremacist ideology that permeates both systems. In South Africa, you had white people (Boers) dominating and oppressing colored people. In Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, you have Jews dominating and oppressing Palestinians.
