Some thoughts on ‘Israel Apartheid Week’
By LARRY DERFNER

I prefer “colonialism” to “apartheid” when describing Israel’s W. Bank rule.

‘As long as in this territory west of the Jordan River there is only one political entity called Israel, it is going to be either non-Jewish or non-democratic. If this bloc of millions of Palestinians cannot vote, it will be an apartheid state.”

So, putting Barak’s statement in the context of this week’s news, should people really be so outraged that a few dozen colleges overseas are staging “Israel Apartheid Week”?
