7. Interesting to see how the term apartheid is accepted suddenly by some when aimed at Palestinians...
..but when it's aimed at Israel, it's claimed to be demonisation, an attempt to delegitimise Israel, etc etc.

I notice there's actually little to no substance in that opinion piece, and coming from a partisan pro-Israel writer who's a senior 'researcher' at that JCPA place, there's really no surprise in reading through that and realising it's very heavy on accusation, insinuation, and nothing else. I guess it'll appeal to its niche market of those who have head explosions any time anyone mentions the word apartheid within five paragraphs of the word Israel, but then turn round and give a rousing cheer to it being linked to Palestinians...
