Look at the horrid reactions to this wholesome picture. There is literally nothing wrong with this. It's pure evil to hate this.

The Guardian once allowed its former South Africa correspondent, who had transferred to Israel, to compare in detail the two countries’ systems of apartheid.

lol, the writer works/worked for the Guardian, so the writer is biased. What do you think will get the website more clicks. "Israel is not like South Africa" or, "Israel is Apartheid South Africa on Steroids"? Going in the writer knew he had to create an Israel hit piece to appease his bosses and get clicks.

Israel recognizes interracial marriages, apartheid South Africa did not. In Israel black people can use any beach they want, that was not true about apartheid South Africa. Israel has taken in black African refugees in the 80s who were being persecuted in Africa. The apartheid South African government did not take in refugees from other African nations, give them protection, aid and comfort.

Shalom

You neither addressed nor refuted anything that was said in the article. That's just a personal attack against the article writer. For shame! On Saidit, we follow the pyramid of debate.

"Critics of Ariel Sharon's plan to carve up the West Bank, apportioning blobs of territory to the Palestinians, draw comparisons with South Africa's "bantustans" - the nominally independent homelands into which millions of black men and women were herded.

An Israeli human rights organisation has described segregation of West Bank roads by the military as apartheid. Arab Israeli lawyers argue anti-discrimination cases before the supreme court by drawing out similarities between some Israeli legislation and white South Africa's oppressive laws. Desmond Tutu, the former archbishop of Cape Town and chairman of South Africa's truth and reconciliation commission, visited the occupied territories three years ago and described what he found as "much like what happened to us black people in South Africa".
