Israeli Apartheid

There's a good article by Shulamit Aloni, former Israeli Education Minister on israeli apartheid

Israel takes land from the Palestinians, builds roads on them, and then won't let palestinians drive on those roads. Not only that, they won't even let Israelis ride on those roads if they have palestinian passengers and they haven't gotten permits from the government (or the military command) to transport those passengers on those Israeli only roads.


From now on, Israelis and International humanitarian organisations’ volunteers are prohibited from assisting a woman in labour by taking her to the hospital. [Israeli human rights group] Yesh Din volunteers cannot take a robbed and beaten-up Palestinian to the police station to lodge a complaint.
