Not Peace, Apartheid
Institutional discrimination between different groups of people on the same land. Military courts for Palestinians. Civil courts for everybody else. Roads exclusive to Israelis. Checkpoints and detours exclusive to Palestinians. A physical wall separating the two groups of people. An invisible one dictating their fates. International and Israeli human rights organizations have called it what it is. Apartheid.
