If we are to consider the actual state of Israeli occupation, you are indeed right, it is more comparable to the south african apartheid, although some leftists jews who lived in south Africa and fought the apartheid with the ANC think it is even worse in Israel (see my post:<BR/>Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577807573716384982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19435968.post-1143098796188018212006-03-23T02:26:00.000-05:002006-03-23T02:26:00.000-05:00In continuation of my previous post: If we are to ...In continuation of my previous post: <BR/><BR/>If we are to compare the actions of the Israelis on the West Bank with other historical mistakes, it might be relevant to compare them to the apartheid regime that ruled in South Africa before 1995: The Palestinians are second class citizens.

Even though some of the operations Israel has carried out in Gaza and the West bank may be called a form of state terror, it is exaggerated to compare them to the nazis.
