This statement caught my eye:

"A spokesperson for the group said the organization decided to drop its previous reluctance to use the South Africa comparison because things are getting worse in the Occupied Territories."

So calling the occupation apartheid will make the situation better?

Really?

In my years of work in mediation and conflict resolution we learned that using inflammatory language, smears and unwarranted behavioral labels always tends to escalate the situation. Maybe it works differently in the ME?
