It's because the charge is bullshit. The Palestinians aren't even a race, and if they are, then they're the same race as Israeli Arabs who do not face the same Apartheid conditions. In fact, there are Israeli Arabs living over the '67 lines and they have equal rights with Jewish Israelis. So no apartheid, game over and you lose.
==============
The US, UK, EU, and Palestinians agreed to Oslo in the 1990's. They signed off on the situation in the territories.
You think the Palestinians & rest of the civilized world behind Oslo helped create an Apartheid situation?
This is where you don't answer. I predict *crickets*.
==============
And B'tselem? Again?
That Regressive Left organization supports the PA executing Palestinians for selling land to Jews.
Do better than that morally bankrupt organization, okay?
==============
Finally, let's assume there is Apartheid in the territories and all the lies & slander about evil, Nazi Apartheid Israel are 100% true. Assume the Palestinians are denied their rights in the W.Bank. Okay, so why did they turn down the 2000 and 2008 offers that would have ended the occupation, settements, and given the Palestinians half of Jerusalem? How do people claim their rights are denied when they turn down those rights offered to them time & again?
