My thoughts:
I've been saying that Israel is an apartheid state for a long time, and in that time I've been saddened by the unwillingness of many institutions to call it what it is. Israel is perpetuating the instability in the region with their policies, then using the instability as an excuse to make things worse. To say this is not antisemitic, this has nothing to do with the fact that those in power are Jewish. Furthermore, Israel's bullyish policies in the Middle East contribute to the instability of the rest of the region. As a credible institution, it's good to see HRW put the apartheid label on the Israeli government, though it won't stop the government from engaging in its sadistic actions. The more awareness we have to these crimes against humanity, the better. No one is entitled to an ethnosstate in that area of land, or anywhere else in the world for that matter. Israel should not be souch a touchy subject to criticize.
Anyways, what does everyone think? Is HRW right to label Israel an apartheid state, or no?

It's worth noting that they label Israel an apartheid state not under South African terms but under the definition as given by global meetings on the subject.
