As Noam Chomsky once noted, Apartheid South Africa wasn't covertly trying to ethnically cleanse itself of black africans, it simply had a policy of strict separation between the ruling whites and the black underclass, not too dissmilar from the pre-civil rights movement USA. Frankly I think that calling Israel's treatment of non-jews 'apartheid' makes it seem far less malign than what it is in reality.

Another thing Chomsky was wrong about then.

South Africa was definitely trying to genocide Blacks through mass sterilisation.
